Creating

I have the itch to make things...not sure which direction to take this itch. My sewing machine is looking pretty dusty these days & I'm feeling more & more like knitting is more my thing. But in the back of my mind, I'm designing my own wardrobe & the kids too. Does that count for creating...imaginatively??
I shopped for yarns this weekend & came back with a handful of inspiring colors that I'm not sure what will become of them just yet. I definately want to make myself a pair of wrist warmers & more sweaters..maybe even a pair of cool legwarmers.

A Cat & A Hat!

I wanted to make Jack a new fall hat to match his wrist warmers & I finished it today..minus the ears he wants added. It turned out great. Here he is with Lou:0

How many creams do you use??

I have to admit, when I first saw this link I was hesitate to open it, http://storyofstuff.org/cosmetics/
Since I am already aware of the many toxins in our world & can feel my anxiety level rising just thinking about it, I wasn't really sure if this would be helpful or hazardous to read. But unable to tame my curiosity, I clicked on the link
http://storyofstuff.org/cosmetics/
& was really blown away at the info given about the world of cosmetics. If only I was brave enough to go "au la natural" & throw out all the crap in my bathroom cabinet. I am however going to go forward buying products I trust & feel safe using. Definitely leaves you thinking...
