I know I promised more pictures but I left the camera in Tulsa and I have been a little busy. Packing a house for a move is a huge job. Thankfully, I have had lots of willing helpers (the kids) and we have had quite a few laughs, some new family jokes and some down time watching old tv shows. I have somehow made my kids Agatha Christie fans. I think it is a great thing and we have watched some old Hercule Poirot mysteries. It has been a lot of fun since they have read quite a few of her books and we keep trying to remember who the murderer is.
It has been a busy couple of weeks and I will get back with my goals in a week or two or maybe even in September. The bad part of moving is getting all internet turned back on and figuring out where everything goes.
See you later,
Karen

Summer on Etsy

Here are a few shops on Etsy that have beautiful items for Summer. I can just see my summer reading or pool items packed into this wonderful bag.

I would love to journal all of my wonderful summer vacation into the luxurious leather journal. What a great gift for for a writer!

This glowing sea glass pendant would go great with just about anything in my closet.

I really love the combination of the blues and yellows in this table runner. It is just gorgeous and what a easy way to set the patio table.
See you later,

A Sneak Peak
Here are some new things that have been happening at the studio these days...
I can't resist taking yarn and a crochet hook with me on a road trip. So, it started with these yarns and some little bits that were used up. I then added these beauties halfway through the trip.
Now you can't see all of the colors as this is a big bag. Here is a better look at them.
and another look here.
This is promising to be a big crocheted blanket. I can't wait to have it finished. I did feel silly crocheting in 90 degree weather as we were driving along. It was a long drive and I finished quite a bit. Hopefully it won't be long before it is completed.

Why do yarn projects seem to grow out of their bags? Am I the only one that has this happen?

Something New out of Something Old
A couple of months back an internet friend sent me some lovely doilies and vintage napkins. They had seen some wear and weren't quite suitable to sell as doilies. So my friend Renee from http://www.wakeuptheangel.etsy.com sent them to me. As I washed and pressed them, I thought of all of the lovely things I could make. They ended up sitting on my work table for several weeks while I decided the best use for them. Here they are waiting on me to think up some lovely cozy use for them.
Here are a few of the finished cozies, ready to go into the shop this week.
The fabric for these two beauties is up-cycled and fussy cut to make the most of the stripes. There is a lot of work that goes into each of these cozies to make sure that I make the most of the vintage linens and doilies. The doilies had some holes and were not fit for their usual purpose. I can't wait to show you some of the other new cozies. I have some more modern looking quilted cozies and then some more up-cycled cozies.
I know it has been awhile since I last posted, but we had a senior graduating from High School and it was taking my full concentration. Then there was a mini-vacation to see family. We are now back home and just dealing with life which will be full of acclimating a dog back into our house, a wisdom tooth extraction, grocery shopping and the beginning of Summer! The kids on our street were playing outside last night as we drove home and it was a huge reminder of how quickly they grow and how little time I have left with the two still in school.
