Carrying On.... 


I don't know what I was expecting as we settled into a quieter and less stressful routine, but so far it has been kind of nice.  To be able to do things with family and friends on the spur of the moment has been fun.  I don't have to adhere to a schedule as before.  I don't feel stressed about procrastinating as much.  I believe we are going to do ok.

I have been busy making  Daniel Tiger Hats for my Etsy shop. These are the cutest darn things for any child that loves Daniel Tiger!  Most orders say that they are wanted as part of a Halloween Costume and will then be worn all winter!  It makes me happy to think of all those little Daniel Tigers trick or treating this fall!



These are the latest two shipped this week.


I am also still busy with craft shows and orders associated with them.  

This Saturday will be my last Farmers Market for this year, but I still have several weekend craft shows scheduled.  And then it will be time to think about Christmas!

I'm not sure yet what I will plan for Christmas this year.  Some fun fami ly time would be great, but half of my grown up kids and their families live in another state, so getting the whole family together for any special event is nearly impossible.  I am open to suggestions!

But for now, there is time to  think about it.  And while I think it over, I'd best be busy making Varmints.

So, back to hooking for now.  You just can never have too many Varmints around.

Blessings!

 Well, it's been about 2 years since my last post!  But it has been an extremely busy 2 years.  Extra time for blogging has been non-existent.  But, thankfully, things are beginning to settle down.

So, what have I been doing the past 2 years?    Mostly helping family.  Also doing craft shows when the timing worked out.  A lot of crocheting because that's my stress reliever.

But I wouldn't trade these last 2 years for anything!  I have spent some delightful time caring for a couple of toddler grandsons that have really kept me on my toes.



These guys have given me so much joy!  But things have changed and I won't have them as much now.  They will be going to preschool and living a couple hours away.  It's a bittersweet moment to say the least.  

But it's also a new season!  Time to redirect my time and energy into something else.  It will be interesting to see what direction life will go now.


I will post pics of some of my favourite makes in future posts, so check in often!  Until then, be blessed!
