Sometimes Ya just gotta keep going

 

Being your own kind of happy is all you should ever want to be. Easier said then done right ? of course it is.  We would not call it life if it wasn’t meant to be like that way besides how many years does it take to learn life lessons 1, 10.20 ? It will be different for each of us as it was planned  a very long , long  time ago. What I do know for sure  is…my  life lessons over the years had a very strong meaning and yes, I do believe my personal life changes were brought about as a result. I never knew it then ,but I know it now. Previously, I could care  less regarding life lessons , but be certain I felt the pain deep within my soul always wild with anticipation of  what was yet to come. They say time brings change and I’ve come to believe this to be true. How can one develop through life if you can’t or won’t  see the change you were meant to see and to be the change you were meant to be ?  So today  I open my umbrella and cover my head allowing life lessons to fall like soft rain. After all  life isn’t meant to be easy it’s meant to live !  Listen to your life lessons make the most out of them every single day. Besides, as long as you have an umbrella to open you wont feel so beat up afterwards. Live strong , Be strong.  Sometimes ya just gotta keep going !

Doggy Sweaters

I recently tried my hand at making doggy sweaters. We have 5 awesome cairn terriers all adopted from Col.Potter Cairn Rescue.com

they will each sport a new sweater this winter even living on the South we get cold here.

cozy soft shawl

l just recently learned how to create these lovely shawls I’m loving them more and more 

Christmas is coming

my first crochet wearable

this was my first crochet item to wear other than scarfs , cowls, shawls. I love how it came out so soft and cozy and most of all it’s extremely fashion forward . I must give full credit to Mikey over at crochet crowd http://thecrochetcrowd.com/  it was his tutorial and pattern that made this happen. I changed it up just a little by adding the flowers in the front 

Who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too?

Who ever said that must not have been aware of the  new yarn line called CARON Cakes  . In celebration of 100 years of  making yarn  CARON released these glorious cakes in several different  color combinations .  Colors with names like Macaroon , Royal Icing, Lilac frosting , and key lime to name a few. If you crochet these colors will have you drooling for another cake as soon as you finish the first one there’s just no stopping . The CARON cake yarns have a very soft hand and feel just like the skin on a soft peach and they hold up substantially well in projects . The color flow is amazing its a like a pool and being a  new crocheter  the mere fact that I do not have to weave in ends makes me even happier.  I  wanted to make something really  special  with this  yarn  so I combined the talents of two of my favorite crochet folks.  One  BobWilson123  and her scarf tutorial   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORF8AikHhCw&list=FLI5ugy52YkWi8xSycxf5a0A&index=1

the other,  flowers from  http://zootyowlcards.blogspot.com/2014/06/road-trip-scarves-pattern.html#_a5y_p=2341086

I hope you like my scarf  I’m pretty proud of how it came out – I can have my cake and eat it too!
