The view from up here...

Living on top of a large hill has a few perks and some things that are not so great. 

For instance, driving up said hill when it is covered in ice, or the fact that our "breezeway" [where our front doors are located] is more like a high speed wind tunnel that catches all the wind and forces it to jet through, sending rugs, papers, packages, everything out into the wind.

The biggest perk is the view. It is totally spectacular. Its amazing how far you can see from here. Its also pretty funny that we can see our hill from pretty much anywhere in the area. 

                             

What I'm Working On: Wednesday!

We have been super busy crafting a bunch of new items to post up in the shop. Unfortunately for you, I won't be sharing the sneak peek in this blog post, that comes soon. [its almost ready!]

But, here is what I can show you:

[excuse the terrible phone pics! my camera is charging.]

The other day I started working on this little sleeve for my tablet! Its made from 100% cotton, so its soft, washable and strong. I love the bright color blocking, though I'm not quite sure how I'm going to finish the flap, and I'm not sure what buttons or how many I should stick on there.

Also, I've been working on a freeform blanket here and there. It's my first attempt at anything freeform and I don't even know if I'm doing it right! I'll post photos of that as it comes along. Its not looking like much just yet.

What are you working on this week?

Baby, It's cold outside!

Where has January gone?? I woke up today thinking it was the 15th, definitely not the 22nd! Oh boy, I have some serious work to do, plus a zillion ends to sew in. I think I need to hire someone to sew them in for me! UGH!

This morning we woke up to some super chilly weather.
10°  this morning and now at 4pm it's barely passed 22°, just in time for it to start getting colder again. Bands of snow are approaching and I hope you all are staying toasty on this frozen day. Soon, spring will come.

In the meantime, I'm thinking that I am going to cast on a sweater for sweet Maci. She hates the cold. 

Shop on Vacation

Just to let everyone know, the shop will be on vacation mode until February 1st!

We are in full crafting mode, building a big inventory to post.

Updates and sneak peeks soon!
