Hello to all!! Just wanted to stop in and show what ive started! I love this time of year, the weather, the colors, the candy! Pattern chart here (for free): Halloween cupcake I had to change a few of the colors, due to not having them. I am very slow at cross stitch.. but after finding that deal on the floss the other day, i knew i want to do a cross stitch project immediately! Since im here, might as well share some patterns im thinking of making, and some cool videos ive ran across lately...

Hello to all!!! I know i havent been around, but been really busy with bunch of health issues with my boys... but.. hopefully i'll be back and having more than ever to show! First off, I was surfing dA (an art community that rocks!) and found unusual candles that are great for the coming season! FALL!! Acorn candles! my son collected some outside, and then we had a family project of melting wax and putting wicks in. i used the scented wax squares (by in stores) and some pariffin wax. doesnt take much!! and i also refilled some tea light candles to finish using the wax! Use in a bowl/container with water and they float perfectly! ( be careful not to burn yourself while putting them in!!) I have been digitally color lots of pictures drawn by other wonderful artist on dA lately, that  is why i do not have much crafting to show... but i did draw this and digitally lined it, hope to color it soon! How cute? i used several tutorials...

Been a busy time lately.. between son's minor surgery and my husbands back surgery... Here is an update of projects ive been working on! My Mother in Law just had a birthday, and here is what i made her: A sashay scarf in pink. Used J hook and 4 stitches across.  And instead of making her a card, i drew this picture for her, also digitally colored it and printed it out. This is a dishcloth pattern i tested in one of the groups on ravelry. a really nice texture to it!! Not sure if i mention what i made for my mothers birthday, but hand drawn this card and colored it. Also made her a sashay scarf. I drew this picture for my hubby.  And here are some pretty pictures i have taken lately around outside Thats quite an update!! Hopefully i'll be back regularly now!! Thanks! ~hazel

Hello!!! Thank you for stopping by! I just finished my 3rd welding hat sewing project. (first one, a disaster, second one better but till not happy with, but it did fit!) Found the pattern online for free,  had the pieces lay out and instructions, but for me being a semi-beginner sewer, i couldnt follow them.    so i made the second hat using a blog that had some tips. turned out good, but needed another hat made, and i found another blog that had a tutorial. really awesome,  but, still some parts i didnt like.. so i winged it just a little.. and added elastic.  the hat my cousin gave me to use as a guide had elastic but all the ones i found online havent had it... but i did add it to both hats i have made so far. this one is reversible and completely 100% cotton. :) now on my to do list: crochet tigger crochet monkey sashay scarf that is my must do list within the next week.. or two. Have to run and get b...
