Curls of Sunshine

Just checkin in

I have not been active on the blog lately. I was working part time at a craft retail store. Thought it would be fun and I would get to do creative projects. I found out that it was not much fun..retail is retail no matter what your selling.

I have chosen to remain a SAHM(stay at home mom). My duties now mainly consist of running a taxi service, keeping up with orthodontist appointments and running a small restaurant. I am also a soccer mom. That phrase is loosely used in the retail world for the young mothers that shop during the day and week. I really am a soccer mom. My fifteen year old plays soccer year round. I crochet, read, sew and bead in my spare time. I chose to check my Ravelry account and found some project that people have made from my designs and felt very honored. It is so wonderful to see others projects that they have made from my designs.

I have some new designs in the works. Hopefully I will have some finished by the holidays. Keep the photos coming. If you do not already have a Ravelry account sign up. It is a great way to show off your work and I love seeing photos! You can also email me photos and I will put them up on the blog.

Happy Crocheting!!

A crazy week

Well.. we decided to put up a privacy fence.  I spent the majority of the week keeping the three dogs from attacking the poor guy who put up the fence.  The fence was finished last night and now I have three happy puppies.  It is so nice to be able to open the back door and let them run.  I am also looking forward to reading and sewing without anyone starring at me as they walk around the block.  I love my new little space!!

Amazingly, I did manage to make these two little ones.  They are now available in the shop.

 

Mother's Day Bliss

Hope all had a wonderful Mother's Day.  All four of my babies spent the day with my husband and I.  Not an easy thing to accomplish these day.  We had a nice dinner and I did some shopping with minimal grumbling from my boys.  I just had to promise to stay away from any yarn.  I did manage to crochet a small doily for my vase.

Naughty little puppies

They look so sweet and innocent in their new bed.  Notice the toys..untouched. 

Then I step into the other room to check my email.  I hear little patter of feet.  I get up to investigate.  My yarn is strung on the floor.  I wonder who did that?

 

Mindlessly Crocheting

My two little elephant friends (Emmie&Eddie) still need a home. They can be adopted here.

 

I recently started working outside of the home.  A big step for me...I have completely dedicated all my time to four kids and a husband.  The new job is sure opening my eyes to the workforce.  I would rather stay home and crochet cute little animals.

For now I am mindlessly crocheting dishcloths and what-nots...just to relax.   Once all things get adjusted and settled I hope to get back to creating little creatures.

Spring is on its way..I hope...

We had nice mild weather today and we decided to clean our garage.  Now I am enjoying sitting with my computer.  Too much work for me..cleaning out the garage. I would much rather make bunnies like these ones...

Think Spring!!

According to many Facebook updates many friends and family seem to be quite ready for spring.  I guess that has a lot to due with the fact that it is snowing up north again. The weather here was nippy this morning but it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day.

 

Coco was actually still...laying in the sun until I disturbed her.
