Happy Mom's Day!!!

“Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world.”
-Kate Douglas Wiggin

I really do have the best mom in the whole world! Look what she made me for my birthday...

The babushka is actually a POCKET! How cool is that??? Loves it :)

Anyways, sorry for the delay about my zebra bag... It's up for sale on Ravelry and Etsy (see my side bar)! I have another idea churning in my head for a shawl, so stay tuned for that. Plus I have some mother's day things (yes, I'm late!) that I'm working on and I'll show you those when I finish!

All you moms out there... HAPPY MOM'S DAY!

Sneaky Peaky...

D&B, eat your heart out :)

I think this is my favorite bag to date!!! The pattern will be up on Ravelry/Etsy shortly! It measures about 14"x17"x4.5" and has a 26" strap.

It took me 3 tries to get the bottom right, or this would have been done last week :) Now, I want to make up a zebra print one!

And, cause they're so darn cute, some new pictures of my kitties...

Our New Babies!!!

Julius and Thor! Aren't they sweet boys???

We went to the pet store last night to JUST LOOK, but then we saw these guys. They're brothers that started as 3, but one was adopted yesterday morning. I couldn't bare the thought of these guys being separated, so we brought them both home! They're so sweet, but their favorite spot so far is under the couch :) Hopefully they'll get comfortable quick so we can watch them play!

It's Someone's Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, Charlie!!! We bought some cupcakes to celebrate, but you weren't here to help us eat them :( No worries, tho! I promise to buy you one when you get here. They were REALLY, REALLY good, see I couldn't even help taking a bite before I remembered to take a picture!

I hope you like your gifts! Me and Momma put our heads together to make you something. Can you guess who did the marvelous sewing job? I have a secret, tho. This one's really mine, yours looked so cool, I had to ask for one, too!!! Momma is THE BEST EVER!!! You can see more pictures on her blog today. I think she might be selling one, too!!! (For my crochet friends out there... THIS THING IS GREAT!!!)

And here's a closeup of what I made... some fimo covered crochet hooks, all for you!

I liked them so much that I had to make me some, too! Sounds familiar, huh?

I'm really happy with them! If you enjoy using yours, I'll make you some more in other sizes...

Ok, for some progress on the D&B bag... It's sooo close, I have the front, back, sides and ALMOST the bottom done. Once I finish that last piece, I need to join all of those together, and then I have an idea for the top/handles. Maybe I'll be able to finish this weekend...

I can't wait!!!

A New Project

I've been drooling over THESE for a few months now, but didn't feel like shelling out the even $60 for a fake one, so you know what happens next...

Stay tuned!!!

Beautiful Weekend

My husband, the dork :) Click HERE to go to my Flickr page to see all of my snaps (from a castle in California to zebras grazing by the highway to an awesome nursery that we always go to). Had such a great time that I'm a little depressed to be back home, but we all promised that we'd go back soon...
