Oh, The Weather Outside..

Brrr it’s cold! We got our first snowfall this weekend.

If I hadn’t been so busy I would have curled up on the couch with my hooks and some yarn. Instead we went: present shopping, B-day party, to see some Christmas lights, house cleaning, a friends house, grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, homework, shower and finally bed. [...]

I Finished My WIP

My model is so sweet, don’t ya think? Fresh out of the bath with her ‘jamas. Sorry for the poor lighting.. I put off taking this picture all day only to discover it had gotten dark outside.

Cool Fabric Site, Spending $$, & Other Happenings

The days are kinda slow around here but I’ve been thinking a lot about this totally cool fabric site. On occasion I’ll click on it just to mesmerized by the pretty colors. I could do some major credit card damage. MAJOR!

Ain’t She A Beaut?

Remember a short time back when I was contemplating a “small” project to add to the list of other projects I’d already committed myself to? Well, here she is…

She’s less than half done and I adore her already. I tried to talk myself out of making her.. She and small don’t exactly go together. But, [...]

A Post For Me.. A P.S. For You

I love this little blog.. it’s a craft project in itself.. and I have to say if it weren’t for this friend I would have never started it. She pushed me and I jumped. You see, I’m a lurker.. still. Even though I have a blog I rarely ever comment on others, but then pout [...]
