When I do vendor booths, I am always trying to think of small affordable items to add. It helps to attract more traffic and it makes sure that we have a little extra inventory. They are useful and great conversation starters (I have yarn balls on mine). What other charms should I make?

…and just like that, it is no longer MY bag. #catsarethieves

I finished my granny square bag tonight. I was going to sew it together diagonally but I like it better this way. It fit perfectly to line it with an existing pink canvas bag too. It took only 1 skein of the red heart granny square yarn to make the 14 squares and the flower too.

Don’t trust the kitties while painting, even if they are being super cute. Not surprisingly, I discovered that Pipp really doesn’t like his paws washed. I am happy that I managed to get the first coat of paint finished on John’s new office this weekend. #cathelpersarenothelpful

We put up this vinyl mural about 13 years ago, but it is time to retire the nursery and turn this into John’s new office. #theyallgrownup #timemarcheson

I am starting to capture the character of this little critter, but I think she needs a few minor changes yet. Stay tuned. #dungeonsanddragonscrochet
