NEW Coral Cable Knit Pillow Sham

Just released today.  I chose the name coral because it's texture reminds me of nature's coral reefs.  Hand knit with 100% wool. Button closure.  Just beautiful and right on time for fall!!

Announcing 3 New Toys!

Gosh I have been so busy lately which is a good thing I guess!   Announcing my new Knit Elephant design today!  I have to say that it took me longer than I thought to make this pattern.  There is so much trial and error with designing but I do love every step and every frog!  Aren't they adorable!

Puppy toy!   This puppy actually started out as a request from a WONDERFUL customer.  This was my  introduction to the world of Waldorf toys.   Waldorf toys are simple and void of all facial expressions (yes, I left the face off on purpose) because they want the children to use their imagination when making up their stories.    More on this topic later.

I can always add a face if you prefer.  I knit these with recycled yarn.  This one was knit with so soft merino wool!!  Lightly stuffed for that squishy cuddly feel.  Many colors available.

Busy Weekend Ahead!!

This weekend will mark my second craft show and I am busy getting organized for tomorrows event.  (Let's hope there is more people there than our last show).  I am glad, however, that the first show was very slow.  It was a great test run and provided a much needed learning experience.  The craft show market is huge and knowing where and which shows to choose from is tricky.  Luckily, crafters are always so helpful and each provided some great tips for next year!

This weekend will also mark my dad's 60th birthday!  (Sorry dad, I outed your age) I just can't believe he's 60!  The years go by so quickly & I swear he was just 45 yesterday!  And with each passing year, I too, am reminded that I am no longer 18! (although in my head I am always 18 but I just wish it wouldn't remind my body how old I am getting)!

I have plenty of orders lining up and the Holiday rush is on big time.  Each year I seem to get a bit busier which is great but it requires even more organization than the year past.  One day I will be ahead of the game one year...

This time of year also seems to get my creative juices running on overdrive.  The problem lies in the fact that I have absolutely NO TIME to work on these new ideas.  So, I end up carrying around a notebook to write down all of my bright ideas.  Hoping that when I look at it again in a few months that I will remember what exactly was so great about these roughly sketched out pictures.  Fingers crossed.

That's about it for now.
Have a great weekend all!
