February Break

I’ve never understood why some school !have February breaks. It’s too cold to go out, and it means that spring break has to be moved later so it doesn’t coincide with Easter. Plus it makes the school year end even later. Oh well, we have it, so we will make the best of it! The girls had quite a crazy day on Thursday. They came home with so much candy, and we still had left overs from Christmas! Then in the evening … Read more

Dotted Headband

Here is a pretty little way to keep your hair back as the warm weather approaches. So many color options!! Have fun with it.

Nemo!!

Before I get into the snowy Nemo pictures, there is a bit of “business.” I will be starting a few new styles of posts here shortly. Once a month I will have a “guest blogger.” The guest blogger post will be an interview with another crafty blogger. I can’t wait to post my first interview. I will also post the occasional “pattern round up.” Pattern round ups will consist of pictures and links for patterns in different categories. For example, my friend over at Cre8tion Crochet posted this awesome Valentine’s Day Pattern round up a few weeks ago. I plan on putting up my first round up next week, it will be patterns that are good for craft fairs. I don’t know about you, but I am getting my craft fair stock started now! I will put a “Round Up” link up top in the menu bar.

Now…Nemo.

Ready to Give Hope ~ 371 times!

We have finally finished opening the last of the Project 19 boxes. Those boxes kept coming all the way into February, and I wanted to wait to show you the final pile ‘o hope until they were all here and opened and hugged. Here is the tiniest package of hope that we received, and its inhabitant. Isn’t she the cutest? Kyla was very excited about the Rainbow Unicorn!! We had been in contact with the Boys and Girls clubs of Hobokin … Read more

Sometimes you need to take a day

It was a rough night last night. Vada was coughing all night, and Kyla woke us up (OK, only me as Doug didn’t hear her) at 3am, crying with growing pains.

Due to the impending doom of Nemo *I dare you to read that without a chuckle* the district had called today as a half day for school. So, with the utter lack of sleep we all had, I decided it was time to take a day.

Flower bib ~ free crochet pattern

Other Notions: Yarn needle for weaving in ends Stitches and Abbreviations used: sl … Read more

Breakdown of the Yarn Haul!!

So I promised more photos and a break down of all the yarn I bought last night. I didn’t count out all the colors, but I did separate and count it by type. So here is the breakdown, with links to the yarns on line, and the retail price (based on the price of the yarn in the LYS, not on line.) The photos may not match up with the text, as they are just snaps of the unpacking and organizing efforts.

Frenzied Friday & Spectacular Saturday

Yup, an interesting couple of days over here. Friday morning, after dropping off the girls at school I made a run to the local Girl Scout council. I had to pick up all the Daisy uniforms. The girls are going to be so cute, but boy were those boxes heavy!

Large Flat Flower motif / coaster

This Large Flat Flower has oh~so~many uses. It can be used as is as a coaster, for bunting, as an applique, or any way you can imagine. It can also be used to start the center of other projects. I’m sure you will see it used in many upcoming patterns of mine!

This, that, cupid and cleaning

I ran across this image the other day. I had to snag it. After all, it is so much the story of my life. Yet for some reason, my home looks nothing like Wonderland…

This past Sunday was one of my Fiber Arts days at InsaniTea. While there I had to take a snap of the back of Travis’s laptop. It just always makes me giggle, it has so much personality.
