new bags finished

I just recently finished these bags and wanted to show them to anyone who would like to see :) They are all for sale at my "shop" at The Stone House in Ossippee, but they can always be pulled out and shipped out to anyone interested. They are all hand knit and felted. Some are embellished with other yarns I feel are interesting or a great match and others I embellish after they are done and some I do both. Let me know if you like them, I am always looking for feedback. They are so fun to do and keep my hands busy while I wait for my boys, soon it will be waiting for my boys to call me from college. So I will enjoy the time with them now.

I love the buttons on this bag, I think it makes the bag, and when I bought the yarn I knew I would be using these buttons with it somehow. I almost had to keep this one!!

I think this is the cutest little "clutch pouch wallet" thing I have ever made. It seems though that the last one is always my favorite!!

This bag started out all together different, but I love the finished project!!

This bag photographed more purply than the cranberry it actually is. You would think I could get it right!!

I have also ( as seen above) started doing felted pillows. I had some trouble sewing the buttons to get them on the right way, but for first time, I really am pleased!!

Photo editing ?!?!?!

So I see I still have no followers, but that's OK, there's not much to see yet. I did start to teach myself  how to use PICNIK to edit my photos. I am a slow learner at best with all this technical stuff but I keep trying. I figure if I have a son that is going to go to college for computer programing I should be able to learn something!! So I did some work on this picture, and I wasn't really happy with what it looked like before but now I think it's kinda sweet. If you're stopping by to check things out let me now what you think of it.

I love train tracks, to me they are such an expression of life. These represent how I feel now; uncertain and sort of all over the place, but there is a lot out there for me, just need to get on the right set of tracks!!



Talk to you soon!!

checklist

So it looks like the sun may actually come out today and that is exactly what I need to get motivated!! I made a list of all the projects I have going and need to finish, and I am hoping to get lots checked off of it today!! I will try to post some pictures of my "store" in the next couple of days and I am hoping to do a linky party soon to get my blog out there in the blog world. So with lots to do I think I should get started. I hope to enjoy some sunshine today and the boy will be on vacation starting today!! No more getting them up for atleast a week, I hope!!
PS Waking them at noon does not count :)
We'll talk soon!!!

So I need to find time to go get this printed this week ... I sold it!! Well actually my Mom sold it for me!! Thanks Mom!! The buyer has a office that they are going to hang it in, so I asked if Icould hang another with some business cards and he agreed!! So I am not sure what I will put with it, but maybe I will have to wait until I get there and see!! Wish me luck and let's keep praying for spring!!!

So I thought I would start a blog myself since I am always looking at every else's blogs and I am fascinated by them. I love crafting and couponing and hope to share a little of both with people. Leave me post if you have any advice for me or something you'd like to see.
