Forgotten Art

Made these a while back and liked them so much I decided to put them back for a special someone or occasion...Not a good move because I just forgot all about them. 

Well, turns out, I love them just as much today as I did when I tucked them away. 

Hope their recipients like them too ♡

Fall pumpkins

I am still trying to get the hang of zentangle style doodling. I'm not sure if I will ever be very good at it, but I do see the attraction. Its fun!

The little brown dog and pumpkins are headed off to Karen so she can send them to their new homes. 

 

I am my own worst critic. Always slightly disappointed at how my projects turn out. Always far more impressed with others work than my own. But as a new knitter I wanted a great knitting bag and couldnt find one I liked. Solution=make my own.
So I did (with a little help from dear ole mom).
Aaaaand...I LOVE IT!
My mother deemed it worthy of entering in the "begining knitter catagory" at our State Fair. I knew It wasnt that good and expected to embarrass myself - but competitors get a couple of free fair passes, so what the heck.
Well, my little flowered bag won first place! (But you know, even if it had been a total looser, I still loved it. Its so totally me.)
Always learning, growing and discovering. Decided today, I am really going to try to ease up on myself...
I am finding out to just do what I love, enjoy it - and the passion will show through. I think enthusiam can also make up somewhat for lack of tallent :)

Realized today, It's been a while since I have sent something to my biggest fan, constent source of support and encouragement  and just all around moral booster - time to mail a little something to my mom.
