Sneak Peek

The fundraiser items have started to arrive. I got a box of squishy soft Malabrigo yarn today that will become a couple newborn sets. I plan to have one girly set, a boy set & hopefully a gender neutral set if time allows. This yarn is so unbelievably soft & absolutely perfect for wrapping a newborn in.

Here's a couple of my recent knitting projects:

This hat was knit from the Truffula Tree yarn I kettle dyed.

Part of a custom order for Shane. Still have a couple matching dresses to finish up.

Fundraiser

In September, I will be holding a fundraiser on my hyenacart shop to raise money for Operation Smile. All monies will be donated in honor of sweet little Carter. I am currently looking for donations, if anyone is interested in donating a handmade item, yarn or a knitting slot, please contact me at pinkebody@yahoo.com or simply leave a comment here with your contact information so I can get in touch with you.

It only takes $240 for one operation, which will change the recipients life forever.

You can also donate directly via TeamCarter's One Smile page.

Custom Updates

I know I've said it a thousand times....I'm going to be more organized & keep my blog updated, yada yada yada... Well, this time I mean it! No, really. I promise. I'm also going to be regularly updating my etsy shop :)

Blog updates will be coming at least once a week & the shop will be updated the first Friday of the month (at least to start out). I also stock at Capella the third Monday of every month, along with several other talented ladies.

I'm also working on a new blog header & have a few patterns running through my head that I hope to finally get written up to share with my fellow craft junkies.

Now, to the custom list.

Shane ~ started 7/22

Melissa ~ starting Monday 7/26

Stacie ~ starting after Melissa's (should be Tues or Wed of next week)

Dye job

Anyone that knows me, knows that I cannot sit still. My hands are always busy. When I was younger, I was always drawing or writing. I absolutely love to work with color & I still sketch out clothing ideas as they pop into my head.

Lately, my creative outlet has been yarn. Knitting mostly, but I decided to dabble in dyeing & I.am.hooked.

These are a few of my attempts & I see a LOT more in my future. I am taking a couple along on vacation & will hopefully return with finished garments......depends on how well the fish are biting ;)

I will share my creations in two weeks when I return, until then I leave you with some yarn porn.

I have a new addiction

Carter Needs Our Prayers!!!

If you could spare a moment & say a prayer for sweet little Carter & his family, they could sure use it right now. This beautiful little boy has had a special place in my heart from the day he was born & he has touched so many in his short time here. I truly believe he's not finished with his journey, but still has a long way to go.

Craft Show Booth & Custom Update

Please excuse the cell phone pic, but I wanted to share some of the fun from my first craft show. I shared the booth with my friend Kelly(the cutie in the pic) of Megan's Musings & we had such a blast! It was a first for both of us & we can't wait to do it again.

I'll be listing my leftover merchandise in my etsy shop this week & Kelly has her extra bows up on facebook ;)

I am going to use my blog to keep an update on custom orders from here out. I am so thrilled with all the requests I've gotten recently, and look forward to seeing all your little cutie pies in their pinkebody gear :)
