Welcome to my blog

If you enjoy finding a lot of different outlets for your creativity, then we may just be kindred spirits.
This blog is an outlet for my interest in miniatures, crochet, plastic canvas, and many other various arts and crafts.

I also love walking, taking digital photos, and most recently, have rediscovered an old love...bike riding! I purchased an amazing new bike, a comfy Townie by Electra this summer, and have been having a grand time exploring the area as though for the first time. It's like being a kid again!

If you enjoy any of these things too, pour a cup of coffee and tea, sit down, and join me.


Take care!
Kat

My Needle felting kits are in!



Check out these cute needle felting kits; aren't they adorable?  I ordered them from Living Felt, about 2 weeks ago, and have been waiting for them to come in ever since.  I'm so glad they got here!  
I've been interested in learning how to needle felt for a few years now...I'm so looking forward to trying these kits.
I really love the Happy Dog...I wonder if I should start with him, or save him for second, and practice on the bear.
If I enjoy this, I'm going to visit some of the local farms to buy wool so I won't have to wait for the mail.  I've seen some really nice books on needle felting on Amazon and ebay that I'd like to try...but first, i'll try these darling kits.
I'm going to read the instructions and drink coffee now :-).

Memory...hello old friend

Well, I finally remembered that I was a member of Blogger; I even managed to remember my name and password so I could log in; woohoo!

Is it me, or does anyone else have an awful memory?


I crocheted this little Siamese cat last night; I've been wanting to try the pattern for ages and I'm very happy with it.  You can see the actual pattern on my laptop in the pic, lol.

This patten was designed by the very talented Beth Webber.  She graciously posts her free patterns on her blog, By Hook, By Hand.  http://byhookbyhand.blogspot.com/2009/07/one-of-things-ive-really-wanted-to-do.html

It's a great blog; if you like crocheting, you should follow it.  I decided to leave a comment, and in doing so, was prompted to sign into my own account, which made me remember that I actually had a blog here, lol.  I figured it was time I started using it.  I've been putting a lot of my finished crocheted items on my "Ravelry" account, and there's a way to link blogs, so I'm going to try that next.

Wish me luck!
