Raising The Bar

Okay, now that I have introduced the world to my new Spa/Kitchen Collection I have to start developing my style in my crocheted blankets, which is what I am locally known for. Like this colorful blanket for example. I bought this lot of yarn off ebay....yes, EBAY. When I got the yarn I really didn't like the green yarn but I decided to incorporate it anyway. As I worked on the blanket my brain exploded with all these ideas on designs. This is the final product. When I presented the blanket to my husband's grandmother, it was at a family gathering. Everyone just kept looking at it and were like, "Maryum, YOU made THAT??" It was kind of funny, but I'm glad that I gave it to her when I did because it gave me a chance to let them see my work. All that I can say is....I'm glad I did! :-)

Oooooh Yeaaaah.....

This weekend I introduced my Newsboy Hat and Fingerless Gloves to the world! I am so excited about this because I have so many designs bubbling in my head!! I crocheted this cute pink one in a couple of hours WITHOUT A PATTERN and I am simply amazed...
The Fingerless Gloves have a nice appeal to them, I think..they have individual slots in them so they won't ride up on your hands...no constant adjusting....super cool!

This Month's Faves

Etsy has so many items to offer from gift items to supplies to make your crafts special. Here's this month's picks from my favorites!

The Home Stretch!!!

Well my vacation is just about over....I think I need a vacation from the vacation, kwim? You know just me - no kids, husband, anybody! Wouldn't it be nice for someone to start a vacation service just for moms? You know like the service would provide babysitting service, cooked meals for your family, pick-up service for the kids to and from school, soccer games, ballet practice, etc.... all while you have cucumber slices on your eyes no worries and saying, " pass the bonbons please.." Man! This idea totally rocks!! What do you think???

Treasury Gone!!!

I woke up this morning to check and see how the treasury was doing that one of my items was in...It's gone! I guess the person who chose my item didn't like it anymore and replaced it with something else...a real kick in my gut. No notification, message of why it was removed...nothing. That's ok it just makes me try harder!

Treasury Time!!!

Today I feel so honored! My Newborn Pink and Chocolate Ensemble was included in and Etsy Treasury! There are many other great items included in this treasury so please take a look here>>>>http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=12919
