Something I think would be cool to do!

 

I’m always looking for new inspiration, new ways for you guys to see what I see. Sounds hokey, I know, but part of me wants you guys to understand where I get my ideas from.

Granted, there’s another part of me that’s screaming and dragging it’s feet as I move forward, but that’s ok, a little fear never hurt anyone! And I’m going to be making some pretty big changes in the shop this year.

One of the things I want to do so you guys can see my inspiration process is this:

A Photo A Day For April

 

I kinda hope you guys will hang around and watch what happens!

Meanwhile, we had an early evening rain storm again today, so I’ve got the windows open so the smell of honeysuckle can come through the windows and it’s gorgeous.

Oh, and I’m watching Ancient Aliens. Dude’s hair has it’s own personality, doesn’t it?

Stay tuned, let’s see what we can come up with!

Spring means babies!

 

Hey y’all! I’m back! Did you miss me? I’ve been pretty busy over here in the foothills, but I’m not going to complain. Well, I do have one complaint that I’ll tell you about, but not just yet!

I think the biggest news for me & my family is that back at the beginning of the month, I actually got to meet my father for the first time. It had been a long time coming, and he said I’d gotten taller since the last time he saw me LOL! Apparently I have his sense of humour. He also said I looked just like his dad, through and through. There were a lot of questions, of course, and they got answered and now I know where my eyes and ears come from. And I am so happy and thrilled to have finally met him and his amazing wife, Carol and her sisters, Celia and Sylvia. I’m not going to say that now my life is complete, because I have a damned good life, but I will say this: my life is even more full now and I wouldn’t trade any of it for all the gold in the world. And I think the best part was when he and I were sitting on the couch, talking about how we eat our hamburgers (lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, no ketchup or mayo) he told me “I always knew you’d come home.” And it was my hubby, Danny, who made it happen. He just gets better and better, doesn’t he?

And now on to shop news! WOO HOO! I have pregnant friends! And to be honest with you, I am so glad I can’t have any more children. That being said, I really do relish holding other people’s babies! So, because of these pregnant friends, I have been making baby stuff for the Baby Shop! And they are way too cute, if I say so myself! the first of the spring baby projects was this Blossom hat:Untitled

Isn’t it cute? I had this yarn in my stash for what seemed like forever and just couldn’t figure out what to do with it until I learned this petal stitch and now I want to cover everything in it! LOL

And then, today I made this: Pink dahlia 2

OMG I’ve already had so much feedback on it on  The Uglee Little Facebook  and I just posted on The Uglee Little Twitter so I’m waiting to hear back from the lovely people over there on how much they love it! One of my friends has already decided she needs to have a little girl just so she can have this! LOL

I’ve got a couple more things I’m working on for the Baby Shop, and I’ll post them as I get them done!

And just in case you’re wondering, I have discovered Pic Monkey and have started using it to make my pictures even prettier! Never thought I would hear myself say that, as I am pretty technologically challenged, but there you have it!

Now I am off! I have baby stuff to make!
