Cabin Fever is just about over! I start a job outside of the home for the first time in 4 years. When my youngest daughter was born, I decided to stay home to raise the kids. We have moved across two states to help take care of my mom and my hubby is on unemployment. so, now I am going back into the work field as a nurse assistant and am going to get my lpn as soon as I find out what shift I will be on!

Now, to the important stuff!!
I finished the honeydwe sweater! Here it is!




I have made some more face/body scrubbies and started a honeydew color hat that I intend on making a sweater to go with.
Only other excitement here is that mother nature is giving us a lot of snow and very cold weather!

I decided to add a bonnet hat to my sweet dreams cardigan sweater! Isn't it adorable?

The winter blues, or cabin fever! Either way, I am designing and creating. If only I could knit and crochet as fast as my mind works!!!


I have completed a newborn hoodie cardigan in windsor blue! Another color favorite! Check it out!
As stated before, I enjoyed the honeydew so much! I am now working on a sweater just like the windsor blue in honeydew! I have the hood done and am working on the neck. I also crocheted the sweater below and have to make booties to go with it! Another project near completion!

As you can see in my etsy mini, I have completed the honeydew sweater. I have fallen in love with the color and plan on making more with it! Glad I have three more skeins of it! I ahve also been working on face and body scrubbies and have a few listed.

I am currently working on a newborn hoodie cardigan for a newborn boy. It is being made in a gorgeous windsor blue. I will post more later! The kiddos are hungry!

I am also working on an Etsy blog with many other Etsy sellers on it. There's nothing better than promoting each other! Check it out at www.etsyisallhandmade.blogspot.com

I am still working on the honeydew hoodie sweater. It is coming along nicely! I have completed the yoke and both sleeves. I hope to have it completed within the next couple of days! Then I will list it on Etsy.

Wow! What a weekend! I completed 5 face scrubbies, 4 dish clothes, a pot holder, a sweater for my dog, a roll brim hat, and an eternity scarf! It was a very productive weekend!

I have still yet to complete my bed doll and have figured out why!! I haven't a doll to go into it! I know that may sound funny to most people but if a crafter doesn't have all the necessities to complete a project, it needs to sit until they do! Just the way it is!

I listed my hat, eternity scarf, and a newborn sweater on etsy yesterday. I updated my tags to each item and lo and behold- a sale! Not sure if this was the reason, but anything and everything helps! Gotta change things up once in a while!

Well, off to watch the inaugaration and do some knitting!
I am working on a beautiful hoodie sweater with honeydew, pale yellow, and white.

I couldn't help myself! I bought 15 skeins of yarn today!
Have you ever bought a new skein of yarn and wanted to stop what you are currently working on and start a new project with your new fancy color?
Now! Off to get busy finishing my bed doll so I can start something new!
