Birthday gift for my daughter

As you can tell I’m not a very good blogger but I will try to do better.
My little pumpkin just had her birthday and I wanted to make her something
from mom. She loves Dora the Explorer so I decided to make Dora’s backpack complete with map, a star pocket and a star. I think it came out
cute and she loved it. I’m pretty proud that I did it with out a pattern.

Artfire

I signed up to sell on Artfire as well as Etsy. I have added new items to my Artfire store that I thought turned out great. I love the little piggy potholder. I learned how to make the korker bows for my daughter but had no where to put them so they would not get smashed. I have had an idea in my head for a while to make a crochet hair bow holder. I think it turned out cute! Take a look at my shop. http://www.artfire.com/users/throughtherainbow

Texas Bluebonnets

Every year I take my daughters pictures in the Bluebonnets. This year I also took my niece's. They did a great job since it was so sunny outside and they wanted the flowers more than they wanted to do the pictures. My favorite is them together. I made it black and white and added the color back to the Bluebonnets.

Finished my first knitting project

I finally finished my first knitting project. It’s just a simple
Scarf for my little one. It is made of soft yarn in a mix of pink
purple and black. The colors are hard to see in the picture but she
love’s it.

Learning something new

I finally learned how to knit. I have wanted to learn but have never had time. Last week I ended up out of town because my transmission went out. I had a lot of time on my hands so I bought a book some needles and yarn and sat down and learned the basic knit stitch and purl stitch as well as how to cast on and cast off. It is harder than crocheting. I am making a scarf for my little one to use next year and than I will try a new project.

Spring is in the Air!

Ok so I take my daughter outside to play with her two rabbits we got her. She was petting them and she turned around to talk me and daddy and wham there they go at it. She tells Midnight the male to stop it and leave Shelly alone. It was too funny but what do you say? So I had daddy put them up and we start to play in the yard and there are the mayflies going at it as well. I told hubby that Spring is in the Air!
