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.

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!

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!

St. Patrick's Day

Well, it is St. Patrick's Day, but, the fun is not in it. My brother-in-law, on my husband's side of the family passed last night and we'll sorely miss him. He was a kind hearted guy and a great uncle to my kids growing up. We haven't seen him since he was diagnosed with lung cancer, so I guess it is a good thing, we can remember him as his former healthy self.

My daughter and I are trying to work out our thing together, and so, we have started another blog and it is www.owlishlycute.blogspot.com. Give us a visit and see what you think. We want to make unique one of a kind items that are great for babies and new moms. Hope in time you'll find something that you'd like to have made. Our etsy shop is there, but, we don't have any items listed yet. I am big too into Amigurumi and will hope to upload some photos of the characters I make. I just finished a puppy yesterday and will get his picture taken soon so that you can see him and maybe he will go into our shop.
