OverWHELMED!!

That's how I feel right now... This Saturday and Sunday Dec. 5th and 6th I will be participating in the NHG Holiday Show where I will be selling my knitted and crocheted items. I've been knitting like crazy to prepare for it, and as always it seems as if there will never be enough time to knit and crochet everything that I would like to! My two daughters will be attending the show to help keep me company as well as assist in sales. During the last month I had a wonderful custom request by my dear thread mate Dorana from the MMG BNR thread. She was in need of a wrap to wear at her upcoming wedding that would take place outdoors. I was able to create this very special wrap for her. This beautiful wrap was crocheted with a luxurious alpaca, silk and wool yarn that is extremely warm yet elegantly delicate. I then received another request from a returning customer for another Vintage Inspired Ascot Necktie in a beautiful cherry red silk-alpaca-wool I also had a couple of requests for a uniquely knitted and felted hat designed by Terri Barr in which the top is left open to let dreadlocks or braids spill out and hang down.





These hats were felted by me BY HAND! No washing machine was used because the hat felts up rather quickly and doing it by hand allows me to control the shrinkage for a perfect fit. I definitely will be adding more of these to my shop after the NHG show!

A Calm Moment In All The Madness..

For the last two days I have been totally stressed out...work, deadlines, family...it can definitely take its toll on a soul (hey, that rhymes!)..
I just received this email from my aunt in New York..attached was this rare photo that was taken a few days ago at the North Pole of the sun setting with the moon above it. As soon as I looked at this photo I began to feel some calmness again Alhamdolillah...it is truly amazing how the Creator's gifts can be so awesome and can provide so much comfort to a soul.

Etsy Twitter Team Shop Of The Week!

This week's spotlight is on MindyG's Shop! I can already see that MindyG's jewelry boutique will by one of my favorites! When you look around her shop you will find many breathtaking pieces with gems like quartz, abalone, and pearls! Her craftsmanship is second to none and I can't wait until I get to own one of her original designs!

Temporarily HOMELESS...

It's been raining like crazy here in Dallas....so much to where there are many stationary puddles in the backyard, forcing many underground creatures to evacuate their homes. My kids noticed this foot long earthworm on the patio and I was simply amazed at how long that thing was! Back in Chicago, I remember walking to grade school in the rain and trying not to step on the many worms that were on the wet sidewalks. None of them were this long! Here in Texas I really haven't noticed any worms until recently.


Hopefully this big guy made it safely to a new home!
