In A Little Bit

As you all might know my husband and I are having a child. We are having a little girl, and very excited. This is the first part of our home project series to prepare for the delivery of our youngest daughter. So getting ready for her has been a chore because the other children in our family are a lot older. Yes, we are starting over, and it's not easy. So we hate to admit that we are a little bit out of practice of what there is to do to get ready for a baby. James and I have decided to decorate her room and we want to include you all in on it. I really went through Pinterest for ideas for months and so did he. We finally settled on an idea that fits the both of us and also is not too girly but not too manly of colors. I think she will love it as she grows up. You can also follow my baby and pregnancy boards on pinterest. Baby Ideas Pregnancy Help This is the color scheme we agreed on for the paint. Then I found some other ideas that just fit perfectly and ...

Fall is the season for change. The leaves change, clothes change, and to be honest so much stuff changes. I am enjoying our fall weather we are having. I am ready for a change. And..... Yea I did it again. I changed the name of the shop. I did it this time because it is more relevant to what I am doing. M.A.B Toys can be found in the same place on Etsy.  http://MABToys.etsy.com  I will just have toys listed there. Also there will be a shop separately for MAB STYLE which will include the hats, scarves, shawls, clothing items, and accessories. I am working on that one and hope to have it up and running very soon. Hang in there with me. Psst....I will let you in on another secret.....I will be starting a new line called MAB BABY. Yea keep your eyes open. This one I am excited about. Especially since we have our new baby on the way. Parents stay tuned. Cuteness is on its way. Change is good. Also I am learning so much from Etsy Success. It is really helping me to r...

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.

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.
