could anything be more perfect?

isn't she a doll?

head over to her blog and enter for the giveaway.

coming soon.

a new store

with lovely things

for all your crafty needs.

i am oh-so-excited

and cannot wait for it to launch.

but, i have a lot of work to do before then

so i best be off

loving : a good read

i may or may not have purchased myself a little birthday present.

i did. heeee

i adore this book, cover to cover.

its full of inspiration, projects, and goals.

On page 19 i read my new 2012 motto:

"A new start enables us to go on our way encourages,

reinvigorated, and determined to dare and do."

-Gustave L. Weinss, 1920

every day is going to be a new start for me

and each day i will dare and do all my dreams and desires.

i think there's something so exciting and perfect about a new start.

i think that's why i love a new year or a new month so much.

but really, each day is a new start.

lovely layout : playdate

did a layout for the studio calico sunday sketch challenge.

i do love how it turned out.

it makes me smile.

Pendant Project page update

i've updated the Pendant Project page 

so you can keep updated on what everyone is creating.

go take a look 

meet Kinsey

she's my newest crochet pillow

 Kinsey is made up of the Little Lady Puff stitch

she's a quick and easy pillow to make.

i started her last year

but didn't get around to finishing her

until these past couple days.

she's full of bright colors

and sports 3 polka-dot buttons to boot.

my pillows are getting better each time

and though she has a few flaws

i adore her and so do the littles.

Little Man rolls her across the family room floor

and even Rescued Dog has snuggled up next to her.

what can i improve on next time?

i'm still perfecting button holes.

her buttons are too far apart

and the white of the pillow shows through every once in awhile.

but i'm enjoying her oh-so-much.

round pillows are so fun.
