WELCOME EVERYONE!

I just wanted to add a quick little post here to thank you for stopping by to check me out. I started this blog to share my crafts with you. My hope is that it will inspire you to cultivate your own craft!

Currently my days are very busy with caring for my beautiful baby girl, but I always like to sprinkle in a little bit of art here and there.

When I do find a free moment I take advantage of it! My choice mediums are: fiber (crochet), acrylic on canvas, beadwork (6mm), and digital photography.

Keep an eye out for my current and future projects!

I also plan to use this blog as a place to share inspirational photos, items, and words I come across in my day to day life. Really, my plan is just to share a small piece on my life with each and every one of you.

Hope you enjoy!! :-D

It's another beautiful day in paradise. Although my beautiful baby girl woke me up super early this morning it's hard to be mad. If I were still asleep I would have missed out on taking some wonderful pictures of the morning sky.


I've been so busy these past few weeks. Between taking care of my daughter, the dogs, the house and all my crafts there just hasn't been much down time. The plus side? I'm happier then I've been in years. I may be busy, VERY busy, but I am happy. I get up every morning thankful for where I am in my life.


As I sit here writing this, I'm sipping my morning coffee and attempting to convince my daughter that it's too cold to go outside right now. Unfortunately, she is too smart for this. "I need a jacket then?", she asks. All I can do is smile. Looks like it's time for me to bundle us both up and go outside for a bit and enjoy the cool morning air.


After all, the dishes can wait a little longer.

Time to share some photos of the dog sweaters in action!

But first, a shot of our poor puppies out in the cold on the day I decided to make their sweaters.






I had to make Pod's sweater first. The pattern I was working off said it was for a small dog. I could tell fairly quickly that small dog was just small enough for Pod. Loki is quiet a bit smaller. 




Doesn't he just look so snazzy in his brand new sweater? He was so happy when I put it on him that his tail started wagging almost immediately!




It was decided that while Loki may be small, he is mighty. So what better for a little mighty pup then a camo sweater? 

 He wasn't so sure about it at first, but he seems to be warming up to it.

Just a few pics from this mornings walk.

Good Morning!

As I sit here with my morning coffee watching Charmed and eating some delicious dark chocolate chip pancakes I realize it has been a while since I've posted anything worth actually reading on my blog.

So, for those of you interested . . .

I've been working tirelessly these past few days. What do I have to show for it? A wonderful, mildly organized ENORMOUS craft room! I am so excited about it. Funnily enough though I can't work in it yet. No chairs. Poses a bit of a problem. So for now I am still working comfortably from my couch.

As for the projects I've been working on, let me just say, people have been keeping me busy! My calendar is beautifully full right now and I couldn't be happier. I've got a few snapshots below for your viewing pleasure.





This is a scarf I'm currently playing around with - every so often I just have to pick up the knitting needles and see what I can do. I'm really looking forward seeing the finished product.

Extra small dog sweater.

 I noticed last week that our family dogs were shivering quiet a bit in the mornings. Shortly after I began work on these Sassy Little Dog Sweaters. They LOVE them!

I'll post some more pics later of our boys showing them off.












Just before I moved to Pennsylvania I noticed a post on one of my Facebook group pages asking if anyone knew how to knit or crochet. Well of course I had to respond. Come to find out, she was looking for someone that could make a Nibbler hat for her kiddo. I was more then happy to help her out! As a result, I have now been asked to make one for a friends boyfriend as well.

Almost done!

Before adding eyes and nose.

The dogs aren't the only ones shivering around here. I am loving this cooler weather BUT my toes are very sad about this. Time to make slippers! Now if only I could get them done. Since it's a new pattern I've been having some trouble actually getting them done. Silly me, I keep adding and dropping stitches. Finally I just had to take some time off. I think it's time to get back to it though. Really interested to see how they turn out and my feet are still cold.





That's all I've got for you right now. Don't worry though. There will be more!

1300 plus miles. That's how long the trip is from Oklahoma City to Chambersburg, PA. And man! Was that a crazy and exhausting two days.

I am very happy to report that we have arrived safe and sound in our new home.
