it runs in the family

i don't recall if i have posted about my mom's crafting adventures before. it seemed only appropriate today since she just listed the cutest primitive stitchery on ebay that lends itself well to a knitters world. take a peek.


she has done really well on ebay. growing up she did a lot of bazaars and such with her country crafts, but ebay has proven to be a more lucrative option. you can see our styles are very different, me more contemporary and her more primitive. of course with all of her stitcheries, she has hand and arm issues as well. ahh what a sorry twosome we are :)

the crafting world isn't just limited to my mom and i. my dad has his own hobby as well. i'll show you the cutest owl he carved for me this christmas when i remember to take a picture!

Hi... I'm looking forward to the reopening of your shop. I love your stitch markers and thinking ahead to gifts for next Christmas.

I also really enjoy your blog!

Your mom does good stuff (and I love the way she suggests how you set up the display - "place this next to a pitcher of red tulips..." I am severely design impaired, so I appreciate it when people tell me exactly what to do!!!)

Can't wait to see the owl. I'm crazy for owls - always have been....
