Seein' Stars ; )

These things are so easy and fast to make. I'm working on a lucky charms coaster set for all of my friends for Christmas! Already gave them the shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day.  Found the tutorial for these stars as well as a granny style heart and tree from The Royal Sisters blog http://theroyalsisters.blogspot.com/2009/11/grandma-twinkle-tutorial.html. Gonna make some garland for Christmas as well as some ornaments and give them away as Christmas presents : )

Cutest Dog Ever!!

  An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks. Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

In The Beginning

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for visiting my blog. Please bear with me since this is my first time ever writing a blog post. Here is a little about my crafting history. My Grandmother taught me almost everything that I know about crafts. I have been crafting on and off since I was a little girl, so I thought it was about time that I shared it with the world! I picked up crocheting again a little over a year ago and absolutely love it! I just started up an Etsy shop and am really hoping that it takes off; if not, then I will still have fun along the way :)
