Shawl Knitting...

Oh, how I love a good shawl... Or any shawl, or even just the process of knitting a shawl.  Over at Ben Franklin, I just finished my knit-a-long project for "The Age of Brass and Steam" And I have to say, I love it!!!  I went out of my normal color range I use when knitting for myself, and it feels so edgy for me to be wearing something rust and blue and violet!!!

Lovingly hand knit with one skein of Malabrigo Rastita, I am sure that this is just the beginning of this summer's shawl knitting obsession...

Oh, and did I mention that the pattern is available for free on Ravelry?

Oh, it's such a perfect day...

I'm glad I spent it with you... 

What a lovely and rainy spring day we are having here.  Steve's daughter is visiting, and she is a lovely little photographer!  Bored in the house, so we decided to take some photos of a couple of the dolls I have hanging around the house...

I've been in a bit of a funk for the last few days.  But, alas, I am rising out of said funk, determined to make my best dolls yet!  The summer is on it's way, but it is the rain that truly inspires me.  Trying to get some new designs worked out, and I've got high in the sky apple pie hopes that they will be super cute!!!  I am feeling so loved by friends right now that are be so supportive while I'm feeling low.  I love you guys a bunch!!!

Silly Valentine's

Happy Valentine's day!!!

Thinking of the past...

All this rain is wonderful...!  But i find myself thinking of the past a lot.  Walking in the rain...  i used to enjoy this so much!  All i needed were my headphones and i was ready to go...  Walking for hours, singing psychotically to myself and not caring who heard.  i haven't done this for too long!  I find myself constantly working...  Working at B.F., and on my days off, working in the Her Kind studio.

 If i am watching a movie, and not working on something, i feel guilty...  This is not to say that i do not enjoy what i do, i love it!  It's one of my favorite things!!!  From making the actual product, to making little hand stamped tags, to bringing it to the shops, or selling right to someone. I love this!!!  Anyway, the rain just makes me a little nostalgic, and the kind of sad that i welcome... 

On that note, here are some bunnies that i have been making!!!

Oh, and there is a new band that I've started listening to that is amazzzzzzzing!  "Firewater."  Love...!

And one more thing to smile about...

This sweet boy.  I love him!
