Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters.  

It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business.

I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room.

There are just so many hats a person can make, right?  Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go. 


This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag)

I love it.  This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog since I used her buttons.  (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project!


This next one is perfect for a little preemie.  It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake!

I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments.  I think it finished it off nicely, don't you?

Now…to find little tykes to put these on!  My cats are truly unwilling volunteers!

these sweaters are just super cute. What a great way to pass your time away in a motel room. I can not longer crochet or knit, seeing your projects make me really miss it.

Mixed Up Media Chix - Summertime Blog Hop!

I have a fun project to share today!  Very excited about this one.  I've been working on it for over a week and...well...it's still not completely done, but it's getting there!
I've done this for a super wonderful friend that is going through a bit of a rough time.  She needs encouragement, so I'm putting together a little art journal to let her know how special she is.
And while this is a special gift, it's also part of a really fun blog hop I'm participating in with the other Mixed Up Media Chix!   Follow along...You'll truly be inspired.
So, if you need to start at the beginning:

Oh, guess what else is going on...

Cold Heartless Prank

I get a call this afternoon at work from "a friend" of my daughter's. He said that my daughter had been in a serious accident --> hit by a car. He told me that she had a compound fracture and was being taken to a hospital (he told me the name of the hospital). I asked a few more questions as my panic increased to almost hysteria. I had started to cry and was shaking pretty badly

My daughter lives across the country - literally. I was so frightened that something had happened and she was injured and well, you know....all sorts of terrible things started running through my head.

So, in a scurry, a few of my colleagues here at work searched Google and found the number for the hospital ER and the State Police for me. What a blessing they were.

The ER said that she hadn't arrived yet. They also said that they hadn't received any "codes", meaning, that at least they were not having an emergency brought in that was life threatening. The emergency room sugge…
