"Six Seconds to Live" ~Memorial Day 2011

"Sir, in the name of God, no sane man would have stood there and done what they did. They saved us all."



My most profound thanks and respect to all who have served our country past, present and future.

Six Seconds to Live

A little bit of Blue for Blue Monday

Wow I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted on Blue Monday...Sometimes Life just gets in the way, doesn't it??

Well today I am sharing some of my latest 'blue' creations for Blue Monday, that is hosted by Sally of Smiling Sally.  Be sure to visit her and all of the Blue participants!

In honor of the upcoming Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day and July 4th, these 'Little Patriot'
booties would be perfect for any little red, white and/or blue outfit!

A pair of soft alpaca baby booties in a seafoam blue-green shade and off-white. Can be for a girl or boy or custom made with a different trim. Alpaca is my favorite yarn to crochet with...so very soft!

Keep all of our heroes in uniform in your prayers...past, present and future.

Please be sure to turn off the sound on my playlist located at the bottom of my blog...

I am linking up with Amy of Signs,Miracles and Wonders for Then Sings My Soul Saturdays.
The song I chose this morning is such a powerful message sung by such a pure and beautiful voice.

May God Bless each of you.....

Creamy White Rosettes

Don't you just love creamy white? So soothing and beautiful that even the tiniest rosettes can make an impact. A trio of cream rosettes embellish one of the latest pair of booties I have added to my Etsy
shop. Of course these booties can be made in other sizes and colors if desired.

Of course sweet little girls in creamy white dresses sitting with her kitties are adorable!

May Flowers and Violet Baby Booties!

In celebration of May Flowers I have just listed in my shoppe, a vintage inspired pair of baby booties in luscious violet alpaca yarn. I have added a girly ruffle in cream cotton thread, a soft yellow ribbon that highlights a crocheted rosette of hot pink that surrounds a little freshwater pearl.

Oh it feels good to be creating again! It is food for the soul~~

Blessings~
