So my latest creations...

I decided to learn to knit this spring. After listening to my mom and sister talk about the class they took and seeing all of the things they made I just had to learn. So I checked out youtube (always my first stop when I want to learn something new). There are some great videos on there.

This one was helpful

After watching this I made a changing pad for my daughter's room.

But then I had to join ravelry.com

What an awesome site! I think that I have more patterns in my notebook on there than I will ever knit. So here are some of my latest creations......

I have some item listed in my etsy shop

New to Sara's Scraps

So I have been back to listing on etsy( http://www.sarich215.etsy.com/). I have a new section for hair accessories. I found out in Feb. that I am having a girl in July! So I needed to make her matching bows for her outfits. Hopefully she has hair but if not I made her some headbands that you can interchange the clips with.

I am hoping to work on my scrapbook and maybe be caught before she is born too. Well see what that brings to my shop :)

Back to blogging...

So what to say.. school has been in session now for over a month. So life in my house has gotten busy...really busy. I am trying to get everything ready for my Christmas items. I have been making tags and more tags which is good for you because there will plenty for everyone...lol

I just love her hand sculpted flowers. I gave one of her necklaces to my cousin when she graduated from high school this year and she loves it! Another great CT Etsy team member.

There are shops I am looking at shopping with too. I have a nephew on the way and so I need to get some cute hand made things for him.

Well what to say about Jill. We went to high school together and she used to sit behind my husband in homeroom...lol. Then we met again on Etsy. She is an awesome team leader and knows her stuff.

If you have shopped with a team member lets hear about it!

Yay!! It is August!

Which is so exciting because it means vacation!!! I can't wait to go away the kids can't wait.
I stocked today but that will be it until I return home. I am going to visit one of my favorite supply shops while on vacation so who knows what I will come up with next.
My latest creation is the unpaper doll. It is made of felt. I used like to make paper dolls with my grandmother as a child and thought this would be better. The doll won't rip. I even have some cute outfits in store for them.

Merry Christmas in July!!!

I had so much fun making items for this stocking.
