Tatting and Crochet

Cori | January 27, 2010

My friend Coretta makes the cutest little tatted headwear that she sells as Tatties, and at a very reasonable price, I might add. Tatting is a disappearing art that I think should not disappear! There are so many lovely and fun possibilities with tatting.
My Great-Grandma Mae tatted beautifully and endlessly, I understand. Since she [...]

Bel-a the Ball

Cori | November 20, 2009

Despite having a headache yesterday, I was able to finish my Granddaughter’s scarf and hat set. I love these colors! They seem very Arabela-like to me. Arabela (or Bela, Bels, or Bela-Bug, as she’s known by us) is quite the little imp. She is the happiest little thing! Unless she’s hungry. Do not let this [...]

Camouflage

Cori | November 18, 2009

Things have been a bit hectic at our house the last few weeks, but I am managing to keep up with most of my projects. Many of them are Christmas presents, so I’m hesitant to post them on my blog just yet. But I’m also working on little hat and scarf sets for my Grandchildren [...]

I didn’t feel this until a couple of years ago when I was sorting and organizing the closet in our office/craft room. Suddenly [...]

Latest Progress

Cori | June 17, 2009

Once again, as I look over the last week, I see that I accomplished more than I thought I had. It’s a real blessing to me at this time to see that I am making progress in many different areas. It’s so easy to get mired in the day-to-day and feel discouraged. If you don’t [...]

Track Back

Cori | June 11, 2009

Okay, you caught me. I was trying to ignore the fact that I had not posted a “Workin’ It Wednesday” post. Quite frankly, I didn’t feel like I had made much progress. But after going around and looking at my projects, I can see that it wasn’t as bad as I feared. Plus, there are [...]

Workin’ It Wednesday

Cori | June 3, 2009

I got the idea from a couple of other homemaking blogs to have a “Workin’ It Wednesday” post each week wherein I report on my current projects. This is a great idea for many reasons, but mostly because it will force me to make progress on long term projects. If I have to actually post [...]
