Tooting My Own Horn Again!!

 

I just wanted to toot my own horn again!  My little business is growing!!  Yay!!

Today I packed up a sample of my products and met with two great ladies at the Decorative Arts Center in my town.  They were so excited to see what I brought with me...zipping and unzipping...snapping and unsnapping :)

 

 

They have a great little gift shop full of unique items made by local artists and crafters like myself.  And soon my products will be available in the museum gift shop too!!!!  I don't know who was more excited...me or them, lol!

Home Sweet Home

 

After being greeted by that ugly blue door for two weeks now, I couldn't take it anymore.  I felt like it was definitely in need of some sprucing up.  Our front door is located in a hallway where all the doors look the same {I have already imagined myself painting the door, but I don't think it would be appreciated by management} so I decided that a wreath was just the thing that it needed.
 

I chose to just use what I had on hand for now and with some inspirational pictures in my head from Pinterest, I went to work.  I traced a large dinner plate on cardboard for the outside circle and a bowl for the inside circle.  Then I wrapped my cardboard ring in yarn, created a loop to hang it with and decorated with a couple fabric flowers. 

 

It turned out pretty cute and it will work until I decide to whip up something a little more fancy. 

My Choosen Therapy

Between all the chaos that is going on right now I am working on knitting a throw blanket.  It started out as a replacement for the crocheted ones that my pup Lucy destroyed :/  But now it is going to be a gift to someone special {they saw me working on it and liked it, and I just can't resist making someone smile}.  The process is SLOW going but it is very relaxing and theraputic for me when I start getting STRESSED.
