What I'm Working On Wednesday

Hi! I just wanted to show you all what I've been working on this week!



I started on this adorable mini moustache sweater Saturday night!



And finished it on Sunday afternoon! I think it is so cute and my pictures don't do it justice! Especially the Etsy pictures...I NEED a new camera!



I also started on another project sunday night! I'ts going to be an afghan to match my comforter! I love the colors, they match everything so perfectly!



I haven't made that mush progress though. I really like smaller projects better, but I'll get it done one of these days!

AND I am so excited that contacted The Nearsighted Owl and asked if I could send in some items to review! She did a lovely job styling them with her cute outfit! Thanks again! :)

A Typical Saturday Afternnon

Yesterday my sister, Zayna, and I went to Texarkana, Tx. Which is about an hour away from the small town in Arkansas that I live in. It's the only place close around here that has a mall and a yarn store. So I go just about every weekend to get some new yarn for projects! Here are a few pictures I snapped along the way

Of course I had to knit while I was riding!

The new yarn I got! I can't wait to make some new things out of these awesome colors!

I finished this sweater for a baby gift when I got home.


It was a pretty GREAT day, because when I got home, I got an email from Polly over at The Littlest Polly blog saying that she had posted an outfit post with my handknitted set that I sent her! The pictures are so lovely and she just looks beautiful!!

New Items On Etsy!!

I have been working SUPER duper hard on trying to get some more items in my shop! And...I think I have succeeded! I still have some more ideas of things I want to list, but here are a few things I've gotten posted!



 I posted long, fingerless cabled gloves, a cowl with pink flower buttons and a slouchy cabled hat in the color Mulberry! All from my own original patterns!

 I also listed a slouchy hat and simple fingerless gloves in the color Peacock Blue!
And I have a little owl sweater fro girls in the shop, so I had to add one for little boys! I LOVE this sweater with all my heart! It is just darling! :)

Take a look at my store, and see what else I've posted!

Music Monday



I've just recently discovered Miike Snow while listening to Foster The People radio on my Pandora, and I am absolutely in love! This is one of my favorite songs now! The remix is really good, too. I usually don't like remixes, but this one is great!

Custom Order

I got my first ever order on etsy the night before last! I don't know if I've ever been this excited before! (I'm a nerd.) The order was for the purple owl sweater that I had in the shop, but she wants it in chocolate brown! I'm so excited that I get to custom make an order for somone! :D

Here's the progress I've made on it so far


 I've got one sleeve on and I'm working on putting the other one on!

Next, I will get to start on the owls! My favorite part! :)

Here's the purple one I already had made:

AND guess what! It sold on etsy last night too!! Ahh! So excited! Well, I'm off to finish the owl sweater and I've got to ship the purple sweater and some items for rewiewing over at the littlest polly!! I'm super excited about that too!!!!

My New Room!

Here is a sneak peak into my new room! We took out the carpet and put a hardwood floor down, painted the walls and I put all of my furniture in there! I love it now! :) I even have my own crafting nook!


Here is the view when you first walk in to the room!


And here is the cutest little owl that is perched on my nightstand. He's so cute because when the fan is on , you can see his feathers moving :)

I never want to leave my room again! Haha. I'll post some pictures of my crafting nook tomorrow! I'm off to knit and sew for now! :)

What I'm Working on Wednesday's

I have been super busy this week! My room is getting a complete makeover, I started back to school, and I've been knitting my short, little fingers to the bone. 



I finished a set to send to The Nearsighted Owl for review! It will be my first review ever and I can't wait to hear what she thinks! This is by far my favorite hat that I've ever designed! I almost kept it for myself ;)




I also had to finish up another order of booties, hat, flower clip, and a baby afghan!





I LOVE making things!!! I just get complete satisfaction out of completing a project! :)

School is in Session!

Today was my first day back to school after having a break for the holidays. The break wasn't NEAR long enough! I was dreading going back to school today, but once I got in my classes I got excited again.  This semester I'm taking, Word Processing, Accounting II, Records Management and Personal Finance. I have a great feeling about this semester! :)

Music Mondays



I am currently obsessed with this song by Bruno Mars! I just think it would be so sweet if someone sang it to their girlfriend when they are about to propose! Is that too sappy? lol.

Selling Abroad

So, I've decided to sell my knitted goodies in Canton, Tx next November! I can't be more excited about it! I know it is going to be lots of work, but I'm ready.  I have a ton of things to be knitting right now to get ready. I have no idea what to expect, I've never done this before! So I got on Amazon.com and ordered me a book. I really hope it helps. I've only read to page 14 so far lol



I'm thinking about selling sets of these:



In all different colors and patterns. Iv'e sold quite a few lately in my mom's store so far. Everyone seems to love them! :)
