Floresita Baby Blanket

I made this blanket for my BFF's new baby, due in June... I used a pattern I found on Ravelry from Owlishly.

Making stuff for my son this week...

California Mission Project... He had to do his report on Mission San Luis Rey.





And I made a new pair of pajama pants for Pajama Day at school..

we made crowns!

"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them,

for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14

I had to spray paint them first....

and add eyelets and elastic cord so the 'adults' could wear them too!

I glued an inscription to the inside..

Happy : }

This Little Piggy....

My friend Anna from work is having a tough month, she's been sick with a cold and bronchitis, and she lost her brother earlier in the month. I thought I'd make her a little something to put a smile on her face.







The little amigurumi style pig was made with a pattern from a book I bought in a thrift shop, McCall's Needlework & Crafts, Country Crochet. I used Lily Sugar & Cream cotton yarn in Rose pink, added animal eyes. The flower was made with Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton in hot pink. The tag is also handmade.

Sick with craftiness

I have a cold. Yuck. I HATE being sick... but apparently I get super creative when I am physically unable to buzz about as usual. Maybe it has something to do with the senses- I can't smell or taste anything so my creative sense has become stonger - who knows? Maybe I'm just anxious and need an outlet... Here is about half of my accomplishments of the last 5 days -



I started these baby bibs about 2 weeks ago, but I had to make them cuter by adding the flowers and the adorable buttons.... I like them so much, I wish I had a reason to keep 'em.



I made a scarf for my daughter from the kit I got when I visited The Martha Stewart Show. I like the scarf on my daughter, it's definitely not my style - and although I don't like the yarns I used, I have to admit they look pretty good together.

I sat in my room day-dreaming about the Barbie mansion my sister and I used to share - I thought about all the things I could use to make a Barbie room, popsicle stick wood flooring, lightbox windows - furniture and of course teeny-tiny miniature knitting needles and a ball of yarn - it's my dreamworld afterall - why not?





Some works in progress I have yet to finish and photograph, which I have been working on randomly during this time of sickly woeful restlessness:

1. An art journal/scrapbook for my trip to New York to see Martha.
2. A scrapbook page inspired by my daughter and her guitar
3. Mothra Stewart in a Jar. . . which is quite strange, and eerie that I made it this week because the Wed. episode (April Fools) showed Martha making a card that said Mothra as a prank and also featured the butterfly stamp which I used to create 'Mothra in a Jar'. it was just weird.
4. A thing for a person which will be finished in June. (secret)
5. More baby bibs and crocheted flowers.


I've been really interested in Art-Journals and Paper Collage stuff.. Someone left a copy of Somerset Memories on the table at work and I just can't get enough!! My sister in law makes these amazing photo books and journals - Maybe I'll get some pictures of her stuff up one of these days...

recent creativity

I gave this journal a facelift - like it?



2 new patterns - available from my Etsy shop ------->

I've had a SUPER busy month, with a trip to New York and a visit to The Martha Stewart Show... You can watch my 5 seconds of Yoda Hat fame HERE.

And don't forget to check out the other fabulous Yarn Ideas featured on the show..

Here are a few pictures from my trip:







I feel good about the coming year - spring is here, summer is around the corner - I have craft supplies, good health and happiness... I will really try to keep up to date on this blog, as craftiness is a constant in my world - this is a great place for me to share, and keep a personal archive of all I've done - I deleted most of my old posts - I don't necessarily regret that, but I wish I had more to show now... oh well. It's LIFE!
