My newest bits and pieces

It lives!!

It's been awhile, but I have been doing things...just not the things I should have been doing. :) here is Oliver the first of a new series of patterns I'm working on
And another little something I've been working on

Life is crazy

Just that. Life is Crazy, things are all over the place and I couldn't be happier. It's been a while since i posted anything but I'll have something for you soon. Until I'll sending some of my happy your way.

I am such a naughty girl

I have total neglected my blog and most other aspects of my life right now for days (darn those cute boys) anyway I'm here and hopefully back in the swing of things. I put a new pattern up on my etsy a few days ago> Sleepy Owl

And right now I'm working on a baby dinosaur series first up is Oliver, here's what I've got so far
He's soooooooooooo cute I'm totally in love and he doesn't even have eyes

Two Features

I've been featured twice in the last few days. Once again on One Pretty thing
And then on GoLo
I'm very excited.! And Thanks!

In other news I have a sleepy owl in the works, a baby dino, robot and a baby blanket all up next on the docket...lets hope I get them done soon :)

Turnip Drawstring Pouch

Here is my newest pattern ready to go, a cute and fun turnip drawstring pouch. Great for gift giving or keeping for yourself :)

Market Bag Pattern Available Now!

At last after days of distraction and just plain laziness I have finished the pattern, worked out all the kinks (knock on wood) and now have a shiny new listing on at my etsy shop for these gorgeous and super fun bags.
This picture just makes me laugh, we have almost no food in the house right now, and our local market was closed so in order to illustrate it's holding capacity i used open cereal boxes and spotty bananas....needless to say I did not use this photo on my etsy listing :)

What goes around comes around

One day after my first ever feature here, I myself was feature on one of my favorite blogs: One Pretty thing. I was so excited I took a screen shot (and if you look real close you can see the tab open on my browser showing me how to ) here it is.

Or if you prefer here's the link

And some bigger pictures of the bag that was featured

Oh my! a feature.

I was checking my facebook, when my father insisted that the people on his friends list share links to their etsy sites and while checking everybody's links I came across this one> Damsel Fly Yarns from Astrid Bear .Her shop is full of gorgeous hand made yarns. here's a preview.

My newest goodies

Okay so I didn't post yesterday, in my defense it was too hot to do much of anything by the time I could get to my computer. Now without further ado...
First we have my giraffe tassle/tieback. I was thinking about baby stuff since I'm going to be an aunty in december. This is the first thing I made, and now it holds my curtains open cause its stinkin cute!

Then I made a purse, mostly at my daughter's insistence...Which come to think of it, is probably why it turned out so small. Still it's very cute and will hold the essentials, phone, id, keys, money. (by the way that's my 5 year old demonstrating the size)
And then because my son fell asleep on me and I couldn't get to any other yarn, I made this cute little guy. I Call him a truffle bunny, and I'm going to make a bunch more (someday) This one is a Strawberry Truffle.
So That's what I've been doing with myself lately, right now I'm working on two different market bags. I'll post when they more resemble bags than piles of yarn :)

oops

Ten days without a post. oh I suck! I've got a couple new projects finished, I'll put the pictures up tomorrow and a few more in the works.
See ya soon

New Projects

I'm working on some new projects right now. One is for my mom for mother's day it was inspired by this. But I'm designing all the papers myself. Here's some that I've got finished.

And this is the prototype I made with card stock

Also I'll be designing more papers and some kid printables to sell in my etsy shop.
