Dear Santa . . .

~ image via etsy ~

Santa, I've been so good this year!

Finding this little guy in my stocking would NOT upset me!

Rediculously Cool !

Ok, I know I have all I really need,

so I always say, "If I can't make it, I don't really need it."

because I NEED to make stuff.

I'm loving these paint rollers from 

THE PAINTED HOUSE by Clare Bosanquet

VERY COOL!

Another Southern Crush !

{if you are an email subscriber, your video may not show up, please visit the blog to see the video}

I teared up when I watched this video!

It's an overwhelming feeling when you watch

a video on someone who is EXACTLY who your dream ME is.

I love how Natalie Chanin is putting people back to work.

I love how it is producing things that are handmade.
I love EVERYTHING about this line!

I've gushed over them before, HERE and HERE.

but I just had to share this video from Etsy's Handmade Portraits.

Natalie, YOU'VE BEEN CRUSHED...AGAIN!

I recently ordered the color cards for their organic cotton.

My needle will be in this soon... Maybe I can figure out a way to

get to a workshop and actually meet her! 

Anybody wanna go with me?

I Need a Money Tree !

I have a little antler thing going on, so while trying to educate

myself on pricing, I stumbled onto Aspen Mountain Vintage on Etsy.
She also has an amazing online marketplace @ VandM called Alpen Antiks.

This Chamois Trophy is dated 1908.

Very handsome, and I love the pine cone carving.

...out of my price range @ $490...

The Collectible Monarch Popcorn Tin is dated 1919

and measures only 3.25" x 3"...adorable!

...out of my price range/inch @ $100...

AND THIS!

A Rare Folk Art French Country House BEE HIVE!

...not even in the discussion range @ $6,750...

BUT IT IS AMAZING!'

YES, I NEED A MONEY TREE!

Does anyone know of an online bee hive pattern

for a handyhusband and a knitting blogger who can swing a paint brush??

My Cup of Tea !

I just read about Jennifer Rizzo on Jeanne Oliver's Blog.

This picture had me smitten and I was already

blogging it forward before I even read...

Just Loungin' Around . . .

Whoooo Do You Love ?

...I love this little felted owl and...

...these tiny little acorns...

In the mood for felting after this weekend at the Knitting show!

I got some handspun curly mohair with tiny beads.

What in the world will I do with that? hmm

Sister - In - Law Crush !

Handy Husband has a Handy Sister!

And I love her so much!!!

She lives on the coast of Maine and makes really cool stuff!

She too has replaced sleeping with knitting so you know we get along great!

Especially in the middle of the night!

It's about time she opened the doors of this ~ ETSY SHOP ~

You've seen her glass and pottery in my jewelry photos for years,

and I've always wished she had her stuff on Etsy, and NOW SHE DOES!

I've always wished she lived next door too, 

but I'm gonna have to move to Maine for that to happen!

xov, love you jam!

Cute Right ! ?

~ Bird Trouble on Etsy ~ 

I'm only showing you guys this because it's not big enough to 

cart my big ol' laptop around, but believe me, if it was, it'd be SOLD! 

It's only $70, but I really need a BIG bag to consolidate my Bag Lady look! 

It's getting unsightly to watch me leave the house! 

I should probably just get a cart. 

Sweetest Baby Mobile EVER !

Still Spinning !

I saw these handspun yarns on Etsy this

morning and I'm still spinning!

~ Magnolia Handspun ~

They will create custom colorways too!

...I have got to find my drop spindle and try again...

Woolie Little Crush . . .

I think these would make the sweetest little

somethin'-somethin' for a nursery.

...used in a garland maybe...

ADORE!

Need . . .

Equestrian Bucket...hmmm...I'm thinkin' Yarn Bucket...

These are so great looking from

...seriously, I NEED THIS...

...or this one would do...

...love the square market bag...

...ummm bulk discount...

...heavy sigh...

Now that's a Pair of Bookends !

Oh My Word . . .

...These are the cutest Crocheted "House Shoes" I've ever seen...

I have no doubt you'd catch me sneaking out in them.
