Russian Dolls

I love these Babushka dolls that I'm crocheting. 

They take patience and I've had to learn some stitching but the time into them has been so worth it.  

Instructions for these and other cute projects can be found in this book...http://www.amazon.com/Cute-Easy-Crochet-Adorable-Projects/dp/1907563202/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327801376&sr=8-1

Slowly Making Progress

I am slowly making progress on the niece's quilt.  I will get it done.

Every night after Emma and the dogs go to bed I pull it out to work on it.

I am making progress.

Please remind me that on the next quilt, the stitching does not need to be quite so close together.  It would help in getting it done in a decent time frame.  :)

Creative Inspiration

I needed to be inspired to get back into the groove of doing some projects & being creative.

So, I went through and here are just a few pictures of what I finished in 2011.

I've got a long list of things I'd like to make this year so hopefully this inspires me.

Maybe it will inspire you to. 

Working Girl

Emma is my little helper.  

She loves helping with laundry, unloading the dishwasher & sweeping.

What does your two year old love to do?

I can only hope that she still loves to help in ten years.  :)

She loves spraying the vinegar/water mixture.  

I tell her she can do that as often as she likes.  My floors get so dirty here.
