A new Etsy treasury!

I was featured in an Etsy Treasury today titled...blue for you! Can you find me?

I'm going to be teaching a knitting class at Joanne Fabrics tomorrow...looking forward to that. I love to teach others to knit and getting paid to do it is even better!

Have a great weekend!

Here comes Peter Cottontail!

This is what I did this a.m. I just love how it turned out. Someone ordered it to go with an Easter outfit they wanted their little one to get pics in next week....hope she loves it too!

Please, can I feed my brother?

So this is what it looks like when you let your five year old feed the baby. Actually, she was doing a really good job...until I looked away to empty the dishwasher. When I looked up to check on them, she was gone and he was smearing his hand over his tray. I don't think we'll do that again for awhile ;-)

Have a great weekend!

You've got mail

Ok...I have a funny, well, not so funny valentine story to share.

We decided to watch You've Got Mail for our little valentine's day movie. We went to Walmart earlier in the day to buy it and with a $9.00 copy in my hand, my husband says, hey, my dad has that movie...lets just borrow his. Ok....I go along with it.

We can't get a hold of his dad all day and when we finally do, he had let someone borrow his copy. No worries, we'll just rent it, only to find out every video store in town has rented out all their copies. So, I decide to just go ahead and buy the movie. At 6:00pm with snow blowing all around me, I go to the walmart closest to my house...sold out, I go back to the walmart further down the street where I had the copy in my hand earlier that day...sold out....target sold out, best buy closed, last resort was borders who had only one copy left for $16.00.....needles to say, we did enjoy our movie last night!!

Anyone want to borrow it....I have the golden copy!

Snow Day Craft

So, what did we do on our snow day?? Well, Grandpa came over and helped the kids build a snowman. Later that day, the kids made watercolor valentines. They had so much fun and were very proud of the finished product. We even sent a few out in the mail to some really lucky people!

Had to do silly faces

Have a GREAT day!!

Snow Day

It snowed last night....this was the sight this morning....it's just beautiful.

I just got this set off into the mail and I just love how it turned out...need one...check out my Etsy shop!!

The stair sleeper....

The other day after I had put the kids to bed, I noticed something at the top of the stairs....





This is what I found when I got to the top.....

I love how he even covered himself up with his blanket.....Too cute!

Have a GREAT day!!

I LOVE lockets!

I have a thing here lately for lockets...I just love them. I put them on bookmarks, bracelets, and necklaces. Here are a few of my newest creations....and they are personalized with your choice of birthstone crystals!

Here's my locket with my little cuties in it...and it has their birthstone crystals.

Would you like a locket for your tiny treasured photo? Take a look in my Etsy shop!!

Have a GREAT day!!

Put the Lime in The Coconut

I was featured in an Etsy treasury today titled, Put the Lime in the Coconut. Do you see me??

I've been away for quite some time....put the majority of my shop on hold for awhile and just took a little breather. Things just got to be too hectic here at home and I wasn't able to keep up with my Etsy orders. But, I'm feeling good about things now and am opening up my full inventory again....well, almost everything is for sale again. I did have to remove a few items, but hopefully they won't be missed ;-)

I've also expanded my jewelry line to include women't bracelets and necklaces...more on those tomorrow, but click here to view one of my favorites.

My little cheerleader

Ok....so it's been over a month since my last post. I've actually taken pics of things to post, but haven't found the time. If you have kids, let alone three, you know what I mean.

Anyways, Josie just came into my computer room while I'm sitting here checking my e-mails and said, "Mom, you really need to get some work done" and then did a cheer for me.

I just love her!

knitty bitty pumpkin hat

I made an Etsy treasury today....can you find me?? The pumpkin hats is one of my all time favorite ones that I make. I think because I love fall....and the hat is just so darn cute on!! Check out my Etsy shop to get one for yourself ;-)

A customer sent me this pic of her little pumpkin last year

Here's my little pumpkin...about 3 years ago

Have a great day!

St. Louis

We recently took a trip with the kids to St. Louis. There is so much to do there with them and the zoo and Grant's Farm are FREE! It is about 2 1/2 hours away, so the car ride isn't too bad either---with plenty of snacks and drinks of course ;-)

Here we are at Grant's farm feeding the llamas

This is how Sam spent the majority of the trip!

Posing nicely!

They liked reading the map at the zoo and telling us where to go.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Lampwork breast cancer bracelet

A few weeks ago, my friend Christa asked me if I could make a breast cancer bracelet for her friend and I got right to it. This is what I created. I think it turned out great and her friend really liked it too. I think I'll list it in my shop too.

I really like the rhinestone ribbon!

Have a great weekend!

New football hat

It's been awhile since I've created a new themed hat and I owe this one to my friend Melody. She is patiently awaiting the birth of her fourth son and she asked me to create a football hat to complete his special take home outfit. I must admit, I did procrastinate just a tad as I always do, but this is what I created for her. I loved it so much I immediately listed it in my Etsy shop and made one for my little guy. Now to get one made for Quentin too! Football games are right around the corner---do you need one?? Click here to find it in my Etsy shop ;-)

Here's Sam sporting his new football hat.

It also made an Etsy treasury over the weekend too!! Do you see me??

Have a great day!
