i love her oh so much and i can’t wait to see what God has in store for her and our friendship! i just wish she lived closer to me!

sunday morning it was 52 degrees….and then by the afternoon it was 80. perfect. had to go outside of course. took a stroll in our apt complex and shot some pics. :) i can get used to this. the going outside and taking strolls part. don’t need to take pics every time. ;)


molly loooooves playing fetch. she will play fetch with anyone. literally anyone.

waiting patiently for us to throw the stick. she will wait forever, as long as you have a stick in your hand. lol


who’s that guy???

oh there we go. haha

molly is probably staring at me wondering when i am going to throw the stick.

my hair officially looks red.


the trees are blooming their gorgeous white flowers. super pretty outside. had a busy weekend so didn’t get a chance to do any projects. tons of school stuff to do by tomorrow and then its “studio” time. have a great monday!!!!

so i feel like i have neglected my blog. sad day. i kind of stress out when i don’t post something. lol. is that normal?? well since i didn’t have my machine for a few days, i knitted! i felt like the knitting lady. literally taking my yarn with me everywhere…i loved it. here are a couple of lovelies i made!


i pretty much just knitted the entire band….and knitted and knitted. 15 stitches across. :) for beginners like me it takes some time, especially with lots of distractions.

when i felt it was snug enough, i sewed the edges together.

the “flower” is just a braided strand that i wrapped around and sewed it on the band. easy!!


my first attempt at a knitted bow! *smiles*

i just knitted the band…again to fit my head and sewed the edges together. this one was only 3 stitches across.

i busted out with the knit and purl action on the bow! 25 across and 10 rows. that took more concentration on my part. i caught myself knitting one or two when i was on a purl row. lol. need to work on that. then knitted another small strand to wrap around and hand stitched that on since it was too thick to put through my machine.

these are perfect for bad hair days….or lazy days. been wearing one all day today. :)

peace and love

change is good. :) since i didn’t have my machine for a couple of days i figured i would give my blog a little love. played with illustrator and a little guidance from the hubby as to how to add it in and poof! i hope you all like it! i also made little widgets for you to use it on your blog as well! and if i ever feature another blogger then grab my “featured on” button! i am so excited about this. i have been wanting to make one for quite some time. if anyone else wants me to feature their buttons on my site then i’d be glad to!!! smiles!
