About Time!

Remodeling of Kitchen underway----What a mess! I will show after pics, but, I'm afraid that is going to be quite some time from now!

This is my sewing machine mess! I really really have been busy, honest! Amidst the remodeling going on and the Craft Fairs and sending dauther #3 off to Russia for a mission, I'm not sure if I'm coming or going!

This is a new little dog I've created. he's about 7 or 8 inches total length including ears and legs. I thought he was kinda cute....??

Giraffe a baff went to a baby shower in Columbia, MO. Hope they liked him.

This little monkey also went to the same baby shower.... He's hanging around over there now. I think the swing got to him!

Climbing out of the box.

This is only the beginnings of the sewing I was doing for the Fall Craft Fair at Church on the 30th of October.

I was really busy the whole month of September and October! Not really sure where the time went but, I can attest to being super busy! How people find time to post and do all that they do, I'm not sure.

Hope this Monday finds everyone in your world doing a-okay.

Gotta love a Monday.... wish it included some zzzzzz's...

When I wake up

I'm going to get back to the living. I've only been asleep for a while. Let me mourn for the loss I have suffered. It isn't asking too much to allow me some time. I will come back and probably pick up the pieces of what is left. I only needed some time. This was a hard one. I have to admit. Took me a while to get used to the idea of him not being there anymore. Still have yet to return and feel the emptiness. I'm going to get that opportunity next weekend.

The stuff I've been working on and keeping myself busy is not for sale. It is a whole host of Krinklekids(my creation), to give away to children 0-12 months in our church nursery for baby day. I've also crocheted 5 sets of 10 fish (all the colors of the rainbow), to go to children 2-3. Now, I've got to create 10 patchwork stuffed balls for the 1-2 year olds can play with. That should be awesome fun for them, don't you think? While I work on this stuff, I forget.

Someone wants to know about my etsy shop. I've not figured it all out yet. I'm a little slow. Bear with me. If you have a need for the things I make, or if you'd like to see the things I've been working on, check out my facebook fan page: owlishlycute. I also have a flickr account. Right now, most searches there can be done by typing in Amigukid. Those are my crochet amigurumi pals. I really do need to get a new camera to start taking better photos of my work! Ugh! It's all so overwhelming to me.

Contact me by email: byhisgrace61@yahoo.com or you can join Facebook, and become my friend there: Martha Harwell Adams. Owlishly cute will take you to the fan page I created.

Have a great week.

MIA...

I've been missing in action lately. My dad is in his last time of his life, and I've been trying my hardest to get down to see him every chance I get. It breaks my heart to see him slipping away. But, I also know that "all things work together for good". So I believe it is God's timing in his life, and I'm just going to have to "let go" and let God have his way with my daddy.

It's not like I haven't been making things, I have, but, I don't have pictures to post. I am going to get my daughter to take pics of the last sets of things that I've been working on and get those up here for you to see. If you read this blog, it would be greatly helpful if you'd shoot me an email so that I know you have seen my work. Let me know what you think of it. I'm wondering if I should get these things up on my etsy so that I can begin to make some money on them?

Keep watching for me, my time has not yet come where these Amigukids and Krinklekids are concerned. I'm waiting on the Lord to lead me to the next step.

God be with you all on this fine SUNNY! Tuesday morning!

Thursday makings

Here it is another Thursday already in the new year! I have this to post today---

Well, today I hope to get to a few more projects. Yesterday, I made a trip wallet for my daughter's 25th birthday. I of course, forgot to take my camera to get a picture of it. What I did was take my new little portable tiny sewing machine that I got for umhmm, Christmas, and wanted to see how it would work. Well, I wasn't too impressed with it, but, it was handy. It makes carrying my normal machine around a little less cumbersome. Has anyone else had any kind of thoughts about those little mending type of machines?

So sad to see what is going on in Haiti! I hope they can get things back together before more quakes come along!

Have a super duper Thursday everyone!

I made it! I made it! Whoo Hoo!

I made it to the Big List of Sewing Blogs! Yahoo! I am clear down at the bottom of the list, but, hey, I made it! I'm so proud of myself! I never thought I'd ever get out there with my sewing! I think I'm just beginning! Look out world! Here I come! I am so excited!

You won't believe all that I'm working on right now, and no pics! LOL! Here is the list:
1. 2 Cloth Dolls
2. 2 crocheted Amigukids (those are my amigurumi)!
3. Purse
4. A watercolor landscape

All this for my daughter's Silent Art Auction to help her raise money to go to put on VBS at a Russian Orphanage! I'm so stoked to be a part of something bigger than myself!

So, I'll post some pics as soon as possible! In the mean time, keep checking out my flickr pics and my other blog post! You'll find me up to something!

Work in progress

Today, I'm back! Here's my work in progress tonight:
Enjoy! This is little bear

Will post more pics when I'm finished with him. Questions? email me! byhisgrace61@gmail.com

Since I haven't made any of these in a while....

These are some things I made earlier this year, but never posted. The mouse went to my grandson, Bryton, and the owl, was a design that I wanted to make for my daughter's nursery, but, she didn't care for the fabric. So, we have him hanging in the sewing room. The monkey---he's here somewhere! Probably in the toybox!

Barney is my very own creation! I love him, he's just hanging around playing with his pet mousey: Mikey. They just kind of took over the counter, I think they wanted coffee or something.
Now, really? Hide and Seek at midnight? What's up with that? Those crazy critters! What will they think of next?

Sandy Lou just happened to find the mug cupboard....
Oh...so, she was playing hide and seek too? What will they think of next?

This is what I've been working on and has kept me pretty busy. My brother in law is doing fine in the hospital. He was released in fact this week....

Good Morning!

De'Colores to you! Here it is Tuesday, April 8th! Where does the time go? I just wanted to share with you what I made last week and posted to the Softies Awards page....

Finished product

Here it is, all finished. I had no clue if this would turn out. It not only did, but, I like it! I hope Angie enjoys it too. Bryton's little "Hoppy" is here showcasing it.
