Free Shipping

I have put some new things in my Etsy Shop! I am also going to be offering FREE Shipping to US and Canada for the entire month of June!

I plan on getting some new yarn in the shop this week.

Rose Tree in Bloom

It has been a little over three years since I survived graduated from college. My brother gave me this beautiful rose tree when I graduated. I wasn't sure it was going to survive the move or the winter. I had to cut it back a lot and now it is blooming. I think I am getting good at keeping plants alive! :) It smells fantastic btw!

Mel May 2011

Mel (my orchid) is blooming again. He only has two blooms. He is in desperate need of a re-potting. However, he started his blooming cycle right when I was going to do it. I am surprised he had it in him. I think I would have gotten at least six flowers if he had a fresh mix. I plan to re-pot him soon.

Green Pepper Bloom

My pepper and tomato plants are growing nicely. The pepper plants are starting to bloom.

Mara Shawl

I finally finished a shawl! Pottery has taken over my time so I don't knit as much as I used to. This was an easy shawl to make and I took it with me everywhere. The pattern is here. I actually finished it earlier this month but haven't had the time to photograph it till today.

Waiting for Daddy

Abby loves looking out the window. She will lay in her little doggie bed most of the day keeping watch and sleeping. When it is time for Daddy to come home she stands guard by the door. This morning when he ran out to get OJ for breakfast she waited for him. She is so cute!

May Giveaway Day!

Sew Mama Sew is hosting another Giveaway Day! There are hundreds of blogs participating. I am one of them so, WELCOME!

I am giving away a hand-spun skein of art yarn made from all kinds of fibers, mostly wool. This is one of my test skeins to see if I really was allergic to wool. The answer is yes which means I can't use it but maybe you can make something out of it in your crafting adventures. There is about 83 yards.

In addition to the yarn I am including two of my project notebooks. Both books have the Turkish spindle on the covers and are hand sewn with baker's twine. I am also including a notions bag/cosmetic bag in the whole deal. I used this pattern to make it.

How to enter: Just go to my etsy shop, take a look around, come back here and let me know what you like, don't like or leave any constructive feedback. That is it! One entry per person. This giveaway is open internationally too. Please leave your email in your comment or have your email turned on in your blogger profile. All entries must be in by 11:59pm (EST) of the 25th.
