There's more to this world than knitting, although when pressed I won't admit to it.

T-shirts with flare

It is always my desire to make people the gifts I give them. Personal, one of a kind and thoughtful are all things that home made items say to me, I hope the people I give them to feel the same way.

Here is my new thing for kids, it's fun to do and everyone gets something different.


Star onesie


Fig leaf shirt


Hippo onesie

And these are my new favorite's, especially for a 1st birthday present, the letter of their first name.

'B' onesie

My first bag

I love my friends who come to me and ask me to make them things, it usually gives me a reason to make something I have never made before. A couple of weeks ago this exact scenario happened & I was asked to make a bag for airplane trips. The requirements were: 1. it had to be big 2. it had to have a zipper and 3. it had to be sturdy. Once we found the right pattern, it was pretty easy. Here is the bag that filled all of the stipulations.



I'm so glad that everyone was happy with the finished product!

Something else

This section is for all the other things that are created in my home. While knitting is the craftiness of choice, there are other things that get made at times and I love sharing what is hot off the presses. Make sure to tune back in and see what else I've been up to.
