New Year New Goals!

Well hello 2011 nice to meet you!

Please work with me by adding about 100 days to your self to help me stick to said schedule when I get sucked into my vortexes of procrastination! Thank you in advance!

So yes I'm trying to be better about laying out my plan of attack so I can better balance my work and play and get things on my shop in time for people to actually buy them.
I'm also making it a goal to post on here once a week EVERY week! Plus keep my facebook page and blog frog page also updated on a weekly bases (at this point facebook is the only one weekly to daily updated) I don't twitter (have no clue how to) so that will be next years goal I think.
So now it is time to show you whats new in the shop.



This is my pom pom ear flap hat I can make it any size from newborn to adult and in any color (I made a supper cute Santa one you can see here I made a pink one and a brown and cream on for a brother and sister here and a light blue one here and I have a purple one for sale here)






These are my 3 white eggs. Great for playing with in your play kitchen. (I'm also making a set of 3 brown eggs as well) I also make them with catnip in them as cat toys.





This is my set of rainbow eggs. Great for little ones to learn their colors and just have something soft to grab throw and chew on.










This is my be my anti valentine stuffed heart. I make them as cat toys as well with a little catnip added.

first year coming to an end!

I cant believe my shop is about to have its one year anniversary!
So to celebrate I'm having a special!

wow the time just gets away

Well here I am letting months go by with out updating.
I'm already getting bogged down with holiday orders, it seams to be coming earlier this year. Not complaining I had a very dry spring/summer in the sales department.
I took a brake from knitting today to go to the pumpkin patch today with the kiddo and I was sweating! Really it was 70! how is that possible in late October! I remember always freezing when picking out my pumpkin as a kid cause it would be raining and 60 degrees. This has been one strange summer/fall.
I have a new line of Halloween cat toys thought up but never got them made :o( oh well always next year!
I have a CRAZY Christmas tree hat with real Christmas lights, pattern thought up that I'm hoping I will have enough time to put out this year.
And lots of new play foods that are coming.
(I know I should have been better about making my stock in the summer but I just didnt want to knit then)
Ok enough talking back to work!

two in one day

Well after being away from the blog for a long time I'm back twice in one day!
This will be a quick photo update post to let you know what I have done and taken photos of finally!

Ok this is my large market bag












This would be my small market bag












This is my travel lovey









Here we have my cupcake with removable wraper
















In the wrapper








What is this?





Its poptarts!

Crazy where does the time go!?

Well we just had Moira's 3rd birthday photos taken (yes her Birthday is in September but we like to have the photos to send out with the invites).
I put the last 3 years photos together and just cant believe the jump from year to year! How is it possible to grow that fast?
Here it is 3 years in a flash

I love watching you grow but wish it didn't go so fast!

Amazing!!

I know this is random and totally NOT the purpose of this product but I just have to say that Woolite pet stain + oxygen carpet cleaner is amazing!! It just took barbie pink nail polish out of Moira's fleece pajamas!!! ( yes nail polish + 2.5 year olds equals mess!)

yarn intervention needed

Wow I went to JoAnn's today just to pick up a yarn that I needed well that was a bad idea!
I ended up getting the yarn I needed plus 7 others!!!
I just found this yarn and cant wait to try it out.
Full o' sheep

Have any of you used it?
Dont you just LOVE the colors! Thats what sucked me in couldn't stop picking them up and having to put them in my cart.

there is no place like home

We are back at home after two days at the beach. I love the beach I love getting out of the house but there is a reason I like to do just day trips.
Moira is CRAZY! I mean out of the head crazy when we are not in our house at night. I'm not talking non stop crying I'm talking running around jumping on/off everything. Touching EVERYTHING! That girl was running around the hotel room till 9:30pm when she finally passed out, but don't think all is well no at 3:30am I get woke up by Moira running around the room saying "Morning mommy lets go to the BEACH!" Well it took till 5am to get her to go back to bed, then we were back up at 8am!
Yes I love my daughter but I love her more when we are in our own home at night! ;o)
I have a new "car knitting project" I created while on the trip I'm calling it a travel lovey I'll have photos up soon plus 2 market bags that are done and waiting for photos!
Well hope you all had much more sleep then I did :o)

Happy mothers day

To all you mothers out there, I hope you have someone in your life to spoil you rotten for all the mothering you do for your children and everyone else in your life.

Ok so that wasn't what I expected

So I went to the dentist today. And the pain I have been feeling is not from a bad tooth (but they did find a bad filling on the other side that I have to get fixed tomorrow). He (and btw very cute) said my teeth are fine but he thinks I have bruxism which is just a fancy word for I clench my jaw a lot. So don't really know how to stop doing that being that I do it mostly in my sleep and when stressed.
So tomorrow I get a filling just not on the area that has been causing me the crazy pain I have been going threw.

Soon but so far

Well I got a good phone call this morning from my Dentist, they had a cancellation and wanted to know if I wanted to take it and I was very happy to do that. But its not till tomorrow morning! Ugh still in pain, but at least I will get in tomorrow instead of Wednesday. So one more sleep till I get to find out the damage. I know its my fault because I haven't been in 4 years! But that's because the last time I went was very traumatic! I went to a dentist that I had never been to before but was the only one that my state insurance would pay for. I had 4 cavities (I have very very thin enamel) and they filled them with out giving me anything to numb me! Yes thats right they drilled into my 4 teeth with out Novocaine no laughing gas nothing! So yeah I was terrified to ever go back! Well in the 4 years since I went, that dentist has gone out of business and the insurance has given me a new place to go. Now hopefully they will be kind with me but the only reason I am overcoming this HUGE fear of the dentist is because I'm in soooooooooooo much pain! I'm telling you I have been living on tylenol and using ice packs 24 hours a day!

Moira's first solo ride!

Skunket

So I finished skunket last night (was up till midnight because of the escaping child).
So I took a quick photo of her she already got loved on and I'm not happy with the pattern, they have you knit it flat and I HATE to sew seams if I don't have to. So I'm going to tweak the pattern and knit it in the round and show you skunket 2.0 ;o)
We went to the birthday party today, and the kettle with veggies and a chicken was a HUGE hit!! She has been caring her broccoli around all day ;o) I'm glad she liked it as much as I liked making it! She inspired the designer in me! Next up I'm going to design a fruit salad kit.
On other happy but makes me cry a little inside news, Moira road her tricycle all by her self today! She is growing up so fast, first escaping the crib and now riding a bike! I feel like she is going to be asking for the keys to the car next lol.
They can't stay little forever no mater how much we wish it.
