In A Little Bit

There are new items in the Etsy shop I have online. I am making new items to sell and going outside the yarn box a little and making some cheerful mugs. Just like the one in the above photo it is like a little reminder to "give grace." Just some sweet words to start the day off with a hot cup of coffee or tea. This one is a little toy truck that I made for a customer who is expecting her new son in October. It was an idea from her and she was excited when I sent her the photos. Even more when she received the toy in the mail. She also ordered the green tractor too. I believe once that little boy gets old enough to play with those toys he will be very happy. This little guy is brand new to the plushy animal family I have created in my Etsy store . He is a crochet kitty cat made with black and white yarn and comes with a crochet red heart on it's tummy. Loves to be cuddled and needs a good home. Also this item can be customized in colors. Even message...

It just seems like life gets in the way sometimes. I have been super busy with a lot of things. My last post was back in February of this year and now here it is September... sorry folks. I really have been super busy. I have good news though... My husband and I are going to have a baby. Yep that's right a baby girl.  I have been busy working at the full time job and also getting the Etsy shop going again. We also moved into a new home and everyone knows how crazy that can be. I just now found my recipe box. I have lived in our new home over a month now. I hope to share some new things like new recipes I have tried, new ideas, new items I have made, and so on. Keep up to date with some of the things going on by checking us out on instagram. https://instagram.com/katscrochetmore/   There is more to come. Basically this post is to just let everyone know we are still alive. So stay tuned. I hope to have photos and info of what we have been up to.  Have a gr...

Get on the mat. It is just that simple huh?      No, sometimes it is hard. I love yoga, and I really love to practice. Even if I only get five to ten minutes of yoga stretching in a day I can at least say I tried. I don't necessary have to roll out the mat. I do some stretches in bed as well. Some just like these. I have found that over the years that yoga has really helped me. It has increased flexibility and strength. Also it has helped me with my aches and pains. Not to mention it also helps me reduce stress. I know I can use a whole lot of that.  Here are some reasons to do yoga. I hope you get to get on your mat today.  Follow me on pinterest to see the many ideas you can follow to learn more about yoga and its benefits.

I really love this recipe . It was so good and my family really liked it and has been asking me to make it again. You can cook it in a crock pot and by the time you come home from work, church, or other activities at the end of the day you have dinner served. Just serve it with a side of roasted broccoli or carrots and you have a meal.  Check out my pinterest board here for other one pot meal ideas.

This month my daughter is going to military ball with a friend of hers, and I want to make her a shawl to go with her dress. I have looked all over pinterest to see what type of shawl I would love to make her and this style is perfect for her. Although, I did get a little carried away and I found other ones to try out too. So this weekend this will be my project. Photos will be uploaded soon...so stay tuned.

Hope you have a fabulous Friday. Enjoy your weekend and have fun.

For valentines day my daughter received many small boxes of chocolates from her boyfriend. Our cat Sam saw one of the boxes sitting on the coffee table. She scooted the box that close to her and wold not let me touch it. It was her box and no one else could have it. For those who do not know Sam is the one who loves to get in boxes and just sit. If it fits I sits! She also likes to look FABULOUS for her photos . My cat Toby loves to get up close and personal with you. He cannot see very well so he gets up in your face nuzzels your nose and then head boops you. That is his way of telling you that he likes you a lot. Other than that if you cannot find him anywhere more than likely he is probably sitting in a bag somewhere in the house. In this photo he thought that it would be great to sit in my ThirtyOne tote bag that I use to carry groceries in the house. It can tote a Toby too.  I like to post a lot of updates and things about the cats on my Instagram p...
