Isn't this breathtaking....it's a Healing Heart from Jo in New Zealand. I found my way to her blog after I stumbled upon her Lovely Christmas stocking ornaments that are trimmed with tatting. I wish I had a Healing Heart like this...

What kind of superhero would you be?

  What kind of superhero would you be? What would YOUR superpowers be? That's what April from http://www.blacksburgbelle.com/ asked in her article. She said "The thing that makes me unique and if magnified by 50, would become my super power."

So how would you answer that? 


I said my "craziness" and my sister said my excitement...
When I find something new I get so excited. I love to have show and tell. I can't wait to share what I have found, what my next dream is , the project....


Can't you hear me?

•  "Its's easy. 
• And we could do this or maybe that.....
• what if it was made of this color? 
• Let's modify it....before we even begin. 
• It'll be fun. 
• I can just "see" it...Can't you?"

It's like the Christmas aprons I made a couple of years ago, because I wanted a new fun apron to make all those cookies we bake for the church Cookie Walk. So I was making myself an apron but this is what happened.

  

  If you want to make some Christmas cookies

  then you’ll want to make an apron.

 And if you make yourself an apron,

 then you’ll want to make one for your sister.

 And if you make one for one sister

 then you’ll want to make one for your other sister.

 And if you make aprons for your sisters

then of course you’ll need to make one for your Mother.

And if you make aprons for yourself, your sisters and your Mother

then your daughter will want one too…

it’s a good thing there’s only one daughter or

you might not get time to wear the apron you made to make the cookies…

Don’t forget to wear the aprons and to make the cookies!!!

          Love,Yo-Jean

So not only did One apron become Five, but it also had to include a little poem for the pockets.....a story, some giggle and lots of love.

Make Stuff!! Spread the light within....oh, and can you come help make the cookies this year? Because I'm not feeling the excitement for that 120 dozen + (yes DOZENs) sugar cookies. I want to knit baby socks and little hats with sprouts!

How's that for a SuperPower?!! What's yours?

Sharing the Love...

I just found an easy way to link fun treasuries from Etsy to my Blog. I thought I'd share some of other peoples wonderful things. I hope that when you think about your Christmas shopping this year you will think outside the box. Support you local talented Etsians and small businesses. Help someone like you reach your goals, help them support themselves doing what they LOVE...you know that would make for more HAPPY people and a better chance at Peace on Earth.

Change the attitude of the world around you. Support these individuals.

What's on my needles and in my mind?

 I loved making the little blue snowflake baby socks that I posted on Etsy last week. They were a new adventure for me. I've been thinking of making some red and white ones and last night I began.

What do you think? They are wool, so hopefully they won't make their way into the drier. If they do then the toddler socks will be newborn size....

Hmmmm.....might have to try that and see how they come out.

Too many ideas.

I'm making Blue and white winter themed books for Bambi's for the upcoming holidays. How pretty are these little bells and snowflakes. They are quite tiny, so I zoomed in. I LOVE close-ups when I'm behind the camera.

I've also listed two of my photography books Messages of Love and YB Crazy Cookies. And no kids, I'm not ready to make cookies just yet...
