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!

I am still working on my bed doll! It is amazing the amount of yarn that is going into this thing! I have the base part of the dress completed. I also finished the top and middle ruffle. I am just starting the bottom ruffle now. Once this is done, I will make the cape and hat to go with it.
So far, I have used 2 1/2 skeins of yarn! Wow!

My mom let me borrow a pattern for a bed doll. I had one as a little girl and I loved it! All three of my daughters are waiting patiently to get one of their own! LOL Of course, they have to learn how to make their bed every day first!

I have just opened a Bonanzle booth.
It is currently voted the best eBay alternative ecommerce site! And since I am looking to stop selling on ebay, this is wonderful!
Check it out!
