Rainbow Blanket

Here is my lovely rainbow blanket that I made over the holidays and gave away. I have more yarn to make another...just have to find the time!

New items in the works...of course they're made of wool!

2011-01-17T10:34:00.000-08:00

I've been a bad girl in the world of my blog...I'm sorry I love to write. But I guess I am a very fickle writer. Some months I'll write everyday...hundreds of words...then nothing for months. I'm like that with books too!

Anyways back to the subject. I have new wool products in the works! Still making a ton of dryer balls and I have 3 retailers so far. Such a fun and exciting way to start the new year. Well when I don't have any pending orders, or when some balls are felting I take out my crochet hook (never learned to knit...want to though!) and just start something. Sometimes it is a baby blanket...I have a pink and white cotton one 1/2 finished...or right now I'm obsessed with chunky lamb's wool blend cowls. They are so soft and I have a few sizes available already.

The other thing I love to crochet though it takes forever as there are soooo many little tiny stitches is a long simple scarf made out of the gorgeous mini mochi sock yarn. Yes, sock yarn for a scarf! It has the most beautiful blending of colors to stripe the scarf and it is a soft wool. Love it, perfect to lead you into spring as it is lightweight.

Well, with that I'll leave you...hopefully not for months and months again~

Here are some new balls! Enjoy! These are for little ones to play with!

What to do instead of blogging!

2010-03-24T07:28:00.000-07:00

Well, I keep thinking and feeling bad about not writing anything on here...because well...I have a million other things I should be doing. So I thought I'd just sit here and list it all out instead of getting up and writing a list on paper (which I'll probably do anyways as I can never be without my lists).

What I need to do today--

Shower
Give 2 little ones a bath
Cloth the little ones
Vacuum (love love love to vacuum!)
Sweep
Clean downstairs bathroom toilet (I have boys in my house...yuk!)
Make dryer balls
Make sample crocheted eggs for Easter
Plan dinner
Actually make dinner
Start dough for bread for dinner (better hurry on this one)
Get recyclables ready to take to town
Go to town and run a couple of errands
Go to fabric store
Take photos and list new items on etsy

What to do in the next day or two or three or four!
Order some yarn
Make more dryer balls
Vacuum upstairs
Organize attic for my new improved large sewing and crafting and kid play room!
Clean upstairs bathrooms
Make birthday cards for April B-Days
Organize bills
Clean off big table...clutter collects
Laundry...everyday

Ok I have to stop now because that list is getting a bit too long...

Bye for now...who knows maybe I'll stop back by today...wait no I don't have time!:)

Blog Neglect...and other ramblings...

2010-03-24T07:02:00.000-07:00

I am neglecting my blog...not because I've forgotten about it. I seem to have a hard time writing about me and my things and then letting the world read it...though I don't think anyone is reading it as I only have one real follower!

I love to write and typing is even better for me as my brain seems to run at a fast pace...just ask my husband. We'll be talking about oh say a yellow car that just passed me because I drive like my 65 year old neighbor (I really do...I was following her into town one day 23 miles, not on purpose, just happened, but I drove normally and stayed right behind her! That is another story!) So see what happens, my mind runs away on tangents, and my poor husband just can not keep up. He just doesn't understand the workings of my fast mind!

So today I gave my blog link to a friend and then decided then and there that the neglect of my blog just wouldn't do another day. As soon as I posted the link I hopped on over and wrote this. It isn't much but at least I can cross one thing off my list for the day!

What's on my agenda for today...?

2010-03-04T10:21:00.001-08:00

Today I feel like I have a lot of time on my hands, even though I am watching one more child today for a total of 3 under 3, not so bad they are all mostly good as long as they are fed and rested that is.

So why is it that I feel bored? I cleaned the house yesterday...so not much to do there...I did laundry on Tuesday and Wednesday so only one load today...oh wait there is clothes to put away in the boys's room (dang). Maybe I am bored because I am procrastination making more cotton cloths and dryer balls? Well I don't want to get too crazy with those, if I don't sell more pretty soon I am going to have a laundry room full of balls...at least my clothes will get dry in a jiffy!

So...I decided this morning that I would make a good dinner, you know the works, home made bread, salad, sides and main dish...well since then I've made a couple crocheted cloths, 3 facial cloths, 2 dryer balls...I've even watched some TV (which I hardly ever do!) I guess I really don't want to make dinner. I just don't know what to make. It seems like I make the same thing over and over again, stuck in a rut. I've looked for other things to make but they all seem like the same thing... tweaked a bit. Hmmm...I think I'll go crochet some more and worry about the food later...

Happy afternoon everyone!

Getting the hang of blogging...slowly...surely...

2010-03-01T13:08:00.000-08:00
