What a sweet message, Cassi. Hope you had a lovely, joyful mothers day yourself. Xoxo

You are a Supermom!
I was thinking of you and hoping you all had a happy Mother's Day. I wanted to thank you for coming here every day and looking for ways to spend creative time with your children. Thank you for making that a priority and knowing in your gut that children need quantity time as well as quality tim...
They look fantastic! Love the polka dots. I'd pick the animal themed set, just to have so much variety in your cute kits!

the virtual tea & cake party (and the great big giveaway)
I am beyond thrilled to be celebrating the launch of six new Cupcakes for Clara kits today. As if six new kits wasn't exciting enough, there's a big old virtual tea and cake party going on here too. Grab yourselves a cuppa and a sweet treat and get ready for some loveliness. There's a grea...
Cassi, I hope your dad is doing much better. You seem to be in a healthy state of mind, so I'm hoping you're all fine. Last year was the worst of my life, so I'm trying to take action and stop waiting for the "right" time to do things, as well. I've had a bathroom redo in my sights since we first bought this house, and I realize that come February, it will be 10 years! And not a thing has been touched. Time to take action, now! I will be thinking about you and keeping you in mind as I try to stay motivated. I'll keep up with you here and on Bella Dia, take care!

What's Been Going On...
Hi everyone, I apologize for things being a bit quiet here for the past month. Although I had posts scheduled for most of December, behind the scenes I was occupied with family health problems. My father had a small stroke while he was away from home and there was a lot of traveling, doctor...
Oh, yes, please, my girls would love this. I'll even print on magnet sheets so they can dress them up o their magnetized bedroom wall all season long! Thanks so much.

Freebie time! Printable Christmas paper doll
Hello dear bloggie friends! The last few weeks have gone by in a blur, because I've been working like crazy to finish my new app, Bunnyfur's Christmas. When it's done, it will be submitted to Apple, then I have to wait another week or so for them to approve. My poor little eyeballs are sooo...
I'm trying to make some cushion covers for my really sad couch, to spruce it up! These hooks are just gorgeous.

custom crochet hook giveaway from Polka Dot Cottage
I have a fun giveaway today for all my fellow crocheters out there. A few weeks ago, I received a crochet hook with a custom handle made for me by Lisa Clarke of Polka Dot Cottage, asking me to try it out. The tiny crochet hooks (US#9/1.25mm) that I use to crochet stones are tricky ...
Congratulations! May your hearts always feel so full, yet grow ever fuller. Enjoy your expanded family! Much love to you all.

Then, Amelia.
My heart is so full it's hard to speak. We have adopted a baby girl. We were honored and privileged to be asked by her luminous birthmother and her gentle birthfather to attend her birth. That moment, and the four days we spent in a hospital room with them and their family and friends were th...

I've got a great giveaway for you today! Office supplies from Martha Stewart Home Office by Avery! I don't know about you but I adore office supplies! Besides helping me get organized, they make me feel like I am getting something done even when I'm not. It is so satisfying to thumb through...
I honestly don't know how you could part with even a single one, but I'm so glad you choose to share them with the world. Thanks so much for a chance to win one. May "normal" arrive quickly in your home. Aside from being with my two girls, knitting, crochet and handwork (embroidery, for example, or hand-piecing) makes me happy.

a little pouch pattern (at last)
I was looking back at the post where I mentioned the little pattern for a phone case/seed pouch I was planning to write up. I'd breezily written "give me a few days" but I'd forgotten that as soon as you commit to something all manner of events come together to conspire against you actually maki...
Me, too! I've totally got Olympics withdrawal, and with my kids going back to school next week and work starting up at the same time, I've got the blues! But I wasn't nearly as productive as you, hope that changes quickly...I need to get started on Christmas gifts, I think.

Olympics Withdrawal
I'm missing the Olympics. As you can tell from my absence here, I was really wrapped up in them. I've watched more TV the last few weeks than all the last year combined. And now I don't know what to do with myself. :) Okay, that's not exactly true, but I am feeling myself reaching for the...

New glasses!
My new glasses came in! I have needed progressive lenses for several years and haven't found anything that worked for me. Well, I'm trying again and this pair seems to be okay. They are similar to my reading glasses, just not quite as heavy and a little larger. I am relieved to be able to ...

We love playing games in our house so I was thrilled to try out this new game, Morphology! It's a word building game - you are given little objects to use to build the word for your team mates! It was a little challenging at first, but once we got the hang of it we really had a lot of fun and ...
Thanks for this message. I'm supposed to carry an epipen for bee stings but choked on the $125 it's going to cost... Funny, if it were for my daughters I'd do it in a second. I'm glad you're okay, what a horrible experience.

Yesterday I found out that I'm allergic to insect stings. I'm not sure what got me, but it got me good. I went to urgent care, passed out, and ended up in the ER because they were concerned that I may have hit my head when I passed out. I'm telling you this because it's important for you to ...

Sorry Jennifer, I always reply to emails individually, but I guess sometimes its better to do it on the blog within comments, so other people can see the answers, too. Anyway, I'm sure I used the larger skein. It was actually probably a 7 oz. skein,though. I bought it ages ago (we're talking like 5+) at Michaels... I don't think that make that size anymore but I found another skein of a different color in my stash, and it says 7oz. Hope that helps!
