sometimes you just want to stop and say......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

So I got rid of my weebly page. not that it is a bad host, just wasn't doing much so why put in the work! So I'm back to my comfy home on facebook. Maybe some day I'll sell items on etsy :)

I'm getting ready to move so things have been crazy here and managing a 2 1/2 year old isn't any less crazy! But it is well worth it and my lil monkey puts a smile on my face even when he's sticking slices of cheese to my window and yelling look momma it sticks it sticks! :)

I'm really enjoying crochet. I think I might just do crochet items and nix the rest. I'll decide once the dust settles. Here's a few of the hats I have created, they're so much fun!

Helpful crochet tip-instead of spending money on stitch markers, use a hoop earring. I have a pair that have the flip up back so its perfect for sticking in the stitches and easy to remove!

Share the wealth!

I have got some good deals on items off ebay, Hair Bow Center, and Oriental Trading Company. They each have great deals. I received puffed appliques off ebay for $1.04 with free shipping from Oh my Styles
-They are however, located in China, but I have had excellent service with them. Items shipped quickly and should be here tomorrow they were shipped on March 17th and should arrive tomorrow!

Another great ebay find was The_Bownut they have a really good price on tulle and they shipped quickly.

 The Hair Bow Center is a really great place for any bow related accessories, I have ordered repeatedly from them, they are really easy to work with and their customer service is excellent.

Oriental Trading Company, they have a lot of bulk items for crafts for kids and adults alike. I found this deal and I am ordering it! It is a Summer Embellishments Box has a lot of cute summer themed items in it. You couldn't find a deal like this in a craft store.

Another great place for crochet patterns is Crochet Spot, for just $10 a month you can download unlimited Crochet patterns and they have some really cute ones! You can sell the items you make, you just have to give credit to CrochetSpot.com. Which is the way it should be :)

Well hope you visit these places, i'm not getting anything from plugging these (would be nice tho, huh!) Just wanted to share some good places for my fellow crafters.

Make sure and check out Crafts by Moosey Store for new items!!

Tutu Set with headband and leotard

It's fun to try something new and take a break from your everyday crafts!
Happy Presidents Day everyone!

Dandelions, the unsung, beautiful weeds.

At least I think so, which is why I created this cute Dandelion Hat ($10 plus shipping, can do custom orders to fit what size you are looking for.)

Incase you can't tell I am ready for warm weather, and I really do think dandelions are beautiful, they're free, you can make wine out of them, and a cute hat ;)

So come on Spring, let's get this show on the road!

original thought

This isn't really craft related, but I really don't understand the stigma with crochet and boring and old. I have been sharing some creations and actually had someone tell me to get a life. I have a life and a pretty good one at that. I'm not sure if it is jealousy or just ignorance, but it's rude nonetheless.

Crochet and crafting in general is therapeutic it is something I have complete control over. I have a 2 year old, life is out of control at times. :) So you can bash or say I'm an old lady crocheting but it is fun and I am becoming addicted to it. It's fun seeing my little creations strewn around the living room and hearing my son go Ooo pretty mama. :)

So to all my fellow yarn lovers out there keep up the good work!
