New This Week ~

I've been a busy lady this past week ~

Here are the newest of new items available for purchase at my etsy shop:

Set of 4 nesting bowls that will brighten up any room in your home. They can also be used as an educational toy for toddlers to learn stacking, sorting and colors:








This softer than soft knit scarf makes a wonderful gift for women and teens. The colors remind me of a mixed berry sorbet! And it is just as soothing!



Here is a lovely felted coin purse made with a handmade button from thebuttonshop. This would make a lovely gift for the hard to buy for lady on your list!



Come visit my shop and see all the latest... and don't forget to comment on the entry below to win one of the newest line of felted bangles.

The Yarn Takes Over~~

Did you ever start a project with a specific design in mind but as you were working it the material just took over and the end product was not at all what you set out to make?

That happens to me quite often, in fact, very rarely does something come out as planned. Perhaps it is because I don't use patterns or write anything down. I usually just pick up a string of yarn and the hook or needles and as the piece is worked, it takes on it's own life. Oh, I will usually have a vision in my head of what I am going to make. Most of the time, it will come out fairly close to what I set out to make.

But there are times when I start one thing and the end product is totally different! That is the case with this wallet/ clutch that started out as a felted book. I had started knitting this as a cover for one of my newest toddler books, but by the time it was complete it had transformed itself into a wallet!

Hummm... how DID that happen?
