We need You Now~Spiritual Sundays

I heard this song for the first time on the radio not too long ago. Powerful message and it was perfect timing for me, at that moment.
Please turn off the sound on my playlist located at the bottom of this page before playing this video.

Very Berry Warm and Cozy


Here is the latest little bow hat I have added to my Etsy Shop. The shade is berry and will look fabulous with almost any color. The tie can be removed if you want and the edge can be turned up. This can also be made in other colors, just ask!



Custom scarf that was mailed out this week as a gift. Combination of acrylic, merino wool and
mohair blends create a soft, warm and cozy accessory for the cooler temps that are on the way.

New Autumn Softies and a bit o' Blue

Today is Monday. I ran errands, walked briskly on the treadmill (after a short self-imposed break of 6 days), did some laundy and took photos and listed 2 new items in my Etsy shoppe.

This is a perfect example of "Better late than never!" Ya'll know how the 'real-world' can impinge on our blogging? ~sigh~ So here is my late Blue Monday posting. The blue is in the aqua sweater and little bits of blue are in the scarf.

I decided to list the pink mohair long scarf that I posted about on Pink Saturday. I had briefly thought of keeping it for myself, but necessity ruled out.  I also contacted the seller and was told she has more of this yarn, so I may be able to purchase more of this yarn. Crossing fingers and toes to sell this one and perhaps many, many more:)
This long scarf can be worn in several ways. It is now listed here in my shop with more photos.

Also the first of several hats for this season....


This neutral little hat is available here in my Etsy Shoppe. I am also making it in a berry, lt pink (like last year), black, dark brown or any color you request. Ideal for gift-giving or for yourself:)

Thanks so much for indulging me as I show my newest creations. I really do appreciate your support and encouragement.

Pink Sugar and Spice for Pink Saturday


Happy Pink Saturday! I just finished this faux mohair/rayon scarf, using the very last bit of this gorgeous yarn~ a blend of faux mohair and a strand of a silky rayon mult-colors thread woven through it.

  A few years ago I bought this yarn from a extraordinary yarn dealer on Ebay for a custom order I had received. This sweet dear lady wanted a very, very soft drawstring gown made for her reborn doll.
So I went on a mission to find a unique, soft and pretty yarn to make this gown in. I found a pattern that I altered for the doll's measurements and made it into a drawstring gown, as requested.



As I was making this gown, memories of my own precious babies would come to mind. Remember the Carters cotton gowns our babies wore as infants? As they grew, we would take the 
drawstring out?  Needless to say, being the sentimental sap that I am, I shed a few tears while
remembering those precious sweet baby moments of my two boys who are now 23 and 21.


Since the temps dipped over night I was in the mood to finally change the candles, potpourri on our
hall table. I purchased these candles at Pier One a couple of years ago and they smell so good...not
your typical fall scent, but an island spice. I loved the colors and it went with the colors in the painting above the table. I love the big, chunky potpourri too...So there you go!

                                        

Now I just need to freshen up my Fall wreath for the front door while trying to keep my teeny petite
Bella away from it. Why is it that cats just KNOW everything is about them??lol, just so funny!

Angel Friends, Cool Air and Softness


It has been a while since my last post but sometimes we just need a little break, right?

Last week I was blessed with a visit from an extraordinary couple...my angel friends.  Never, ever did I expect this wonderful sweet lady and her husband (who is also sweet and wonderful) to be driving up in my driveway. Marydon stepped out of the car smiling with a beautiful basket of pink ornaments. We had never met in person, but I immediately knew who she was by her photos on her blog. They had journeyed far and were making a few stops along the way to visit a few friends. I am still so honored, surprised and filled with joy that I was one of their stops. Marydon is a precious soul and I am so grateful that we are friends (sistahs;)).  Please visit her blog and read about our very special visit....Oh and there is a photos of my teeny, delicate Bella!

With the few days of  cooler weather here in the Peach State, I have been crocheting some new mohair scarves for my Etsy Shop. They are very soft and have been made with yarns that are unusual, since I purchased them from an yarn vendor on Ebay.  I have sold the last one that was in my shop a couple of  days ago...


Just added this one today...mohair in shades of amethyst and sky blue with a thin boucle yarn that adds shades of cocoa, blues, amethyst and olive.




Also new in my shop....A starter set for Newborns~3 prs of baby booties with a coordinating hat made in your choice of colors and trims. Can also be made for preemies too!



Thanks so much sweet friends for stopping by~~Have a wonderful evening!
