The finished product

It seems like it took me FOREVER to finish this scarf.



 I really wanted to make it, but I just couldn't get it it in gear. Well, I finished it last night with what looks like a pom pom edge, but it's a cluster stitch. Like I've posted before, I used Cascade Yarns Cherub DK IN natural, silver, ruby and peacock. I ordered my yarns for the last two scarves from Craftsy. They run awesome sales, a lot, so sign up for the newsletters.  The delivery seems to be pretty efficient. I've not had any issues with anything except ordering colors. They don't always have all of the colors listed, so when you find them, make sure you order plenty for your projects. 
Now, I used just a hdc in granny stitch, and I didn't chain one between each set of three hdcs.  I figured that might take care.of my curling in on the ends, but it didn't. I think it's my chain threes. I'll figure it out. Either way, this is absolutely one of my most favorite scarves. If it doesn't sell, I might keep it, or give it as a gift. It's just really pretty and soft. I hope you enjoy it! I'll be getting back to work on the blanket for my Momma, and the blanket for Paul I'm in the middle of. It's not very pretty, but I'll post it when it's done. 
Until next time,

Update on the scarf!

This is the edging I'm using on the latest triangle scarf. I found it on Pinterest. I knew I wanted to use it on something, but couldn't figure out what I wanted use it on. I also couldn't figure out what I wanted  to finish it up with. So, I was looking and looking, going back and forth on what edge I wanted, didn't know If I as going to use an edge, I just wasn't sure. Then I tried it out, kinda liked it, and decided to go with it. =) I'm not finished yet. But as soon as I do, I'll post it. I really like this scarf. It's soft and drapes really well. It's kinda thin, but not too thin. I used Cascade Yarns Cherub Dk yarn. So its still going to be warm, but to too bulky.
I will be getting back to my other projects once this is done, but I do need to be taking some serious etsy time, and post everything I've got to post. It's a lot. I'll post and share when I've done that.
So, have any of you been working on anything crafty this year?? If so, tell me about it and post pictures. I'd love to read about it! Maybe we can work on a washcloth swap or something of that nature.
Until next time,

Its a new year, folks.

I'm not making any resolutions! Nope, because I always break them. It's pointless. So instead, here's what I will do! I will live life to the best o  my ability. I really do need to get off my ads more often. I want a bike! But I'm not counting on it. I will be working on my craft more. I've already said that. And I've been doing that. I'm going to be getting out of my pajamasalmost every day. =)

Here's what I've been working on this week. It's taking me FOREVER. I don't know if it's because I haven't felt good, or because I have a few other things I've been working on. I ordered some yarn for myself for Christmas, from Craftsy. They've had some awesome sales going on. So I've taken advantage of that a couple times. So here's a look-see


I highly recommend this yarn. It's Cascade Yarns in Cherub DK weight. I'm using two natural, two ruby, two silver and one peacock. I LOVE the peacock and wish I had ordered a bunch more. Now it's not available through Craftsy, and I don't really want to pay any more than the sale price. So I'm just using the peacock sparingly through this shawl. I'm obsessed with triangle scarves/shawls. I like that there are so many ways to wear them. So I've made one already. I posted it a couple weeks ago.  Now I'm working on this one. I will probably be selling this in my etsy shop. I've been neglecting it lately, an  I have plenty to post. So one day this coming week will be a complete etsy day. I'll post that when I've done it. Maybe you'll see something in there that you can't live without, or want in different colors or something. I'm willing to work!!!!! Just tell me what you want!!!!

Oh, by the way... I've been collecting Lalaloopsy dolls for a bit now, as I've posted before. And there's so many that I love, and my collection has grown a LOT since October. So I will be starting a new blog about my collection of dolls. It won't be just lalaloopsy dolls. I have a couple of other things I have, and different from th  lalaloopsy dolls. I'll post about that here to. It will include the clothes I'll be making for them, and hopefully selling, and customizations to them and other dolls. I'll take you on the journey that brought me to collecting dolls. So as soon as I get that going, I'll let us know. And even if you aren't into dolls, you can see some of the projects I'll be working on. So I hope you'll read and follow both of my blogs, and shop my etsy shop when I get it all posted!!!!

Until next time,
