Knitting Woes

School is in full swing, in fact this week I have not just one, but two mid terms! Between school, work, and other responsibilities I haven't had time to relax with any knitting. I feel a knitting break down coming on, so I've pulled out the needles, yarn, and patterns for my mice. They only take about 45 minutes to knit up, and since I sell more mice than anything they are a great project to have at the ready. Sorry baby blanket, your turn is over for now....

I don't think I have any time to relax with my knitting this week, but I have high hopes for next week, and with mice already flying off the shelves, I'm not sure I have a choice in the matter!

Does your kitty need their own hand knit, felted, catnip and shaker stuffed mouse toy? If so...you know where to find us :)

Etsy Weekends - Wood Rings

I love rings! I had a seventh grade science teacher who wore rings on every finger, and some were doubled up. Every time I think about getting a new ring, I imagine that one day my hands will be decked out like that teacher....

I have so many ring favorites on Etsy, I think I should try to narrow the list down. So, here are some of my favorite Etsy rings featuring wood!

Etsy Weekends - Stained Glass, Animal Style

When I was a young girl we lived in a beautiful house in North Carolina. The upstairs hallway was a little dark however, so Mom and Dad decided to put in a window. Not just any window, a small hexagonal stained glass window. We went to the studio of the person who would build it, and while I was too young to remember many details I remember big slabs of beautiful colored glass that would be used to make all kinds of beautiful stained glass pieces. Ever since then I have been utterly fascinated with Stained Glass. Not a surprise then that I have over 2000 items in my favorites on Etsy that are stained glass! Here are just a few that I would like to share with you today!

We hope you enjoyed this showcase, come back next week to see what else we've come across!

Serious Sheila

In part two of the Sheila picture show, I'll show off her more serious side! Sheila left us last year, but through pictures I can always remember what a sweet and cute dog she was.
