I just received a picture of the infant whom I had crocheted the blanket and hat for. Thought I would share how adorable he looks in them. I was actually relieved to see that the hat fit. His name is Sylas and he was born on Jan 19 weighing in at 8 lbs 7.4 oz and was 19 1/2" long. I understand mom was a champ.

I hope soon I will be able to pop in on mom and Sylas and meet this little guy. Is'nt he just too cute?

I also thought it was time I showed you the pics of the antique goodies I had on hold for about a month at the Keepers Corner Antique store while I was waiting to get the craft studio completed.

Even after finishing the studio our weather was'nt cooperating for a bit but eventually I was able to bring our trailer into town and four men loaded the items up wishing they had not been in the store on the day I decided to pick them up. Needless to say, men don't realize that if they only took out the drawers, the items are not near as heavy to move.





Once I got them home it was a piece of cake to get them into the studio. Thank God my daughter is strong. Love you. :)




This piece I call my Hobbit cubboard. I just loved how it was shaped. Yeah, it was a bit heavy, especially since it is made of 3/4" plywood, but it was just the kind of piece I was looking for. Something different.
It is filled with things I have been making and I have put my smaller scraps of materials in the drawers.

The pink bear I had purchased also because I just knew she would fit in to my girlie theme. She even plays music. I should give her a name.....hmmm. What do you think?

The other piece I purchased is this desk I now use for my sewing table. I really thought it was a metal desk because it was also heavy with the drawers in it, but it looks to be oak that had been painted. I felt this would give me a little more room rather than the smaller childs desk that I had been using.

All in all, I think I made a couple of good purchases which helped complete the last of the large items to go into my studio. Now it's just material, materal, material, and everything crafty I can use.

I know there are still things to do in the room, but I am enjoying it anyway. I have started several different projects. That's kinda how I work sometimes. I just finished another apron, a couple of sewing animals and this crocheted market basket I just finished this morning.

I used up bits and pieces of some yarn I had laying around. I think it turned out okay. If I just keep practicing, I hope to some day crochet much nicer.

Now it's off to see what other things I can get into. With so much snow on the ground, I won't be doing anything outdoors any time soon.
Hope you all are having nicer weather.
