Ipod Nano cozy for sale!

Here's the ipod cozy that I made for the tiny ipod Nano. I think this will work out just fine. But since I don't actually own an ipod nano it's hard to tell if a button closure would be more beneficial. Anywho, this little darling will be posted to my etsy shop as soon as my good camera arrives and I can reconstruct my light box. Did I tell you? A tissue paper lightbox does not stand up very well to a 3 year old who loves to drum on things. I think the loop on this is just perfect to loop around your thumb for holding your ipod while walking or jogging.

Crocheted Ipod Nano Case #2 for Andi.

This is the ipod case that I made for my friend Andi. Her favorite color is purple. I have been trying to make her one for a while. The first one I made ended up being a map holder for Zay because it was way too big for an ipod case & Isaiah loves Dora the Explorer but they don't market anything for Dora for boys. I will have to add that picture later of Zay & his maps. In the next mobile post I will show you the other Nano ipod case I made. You may have known this already but I was unaware that the nano comes in two sizes. The smaller one will be available on my etsy shop here shortly.

Indoor Hopscotch a great thing to do on a cold day!

This is how we spent our afternoon. Learning our numbers and getting a little bit of exercise. It's bitterly cold outside as we discovered this morning for our daily doggie walk. So this was a great way to burn off some energy. It's so hard to not get bored stuck inside all winter long.

Felt project #1

Made from no pill felt, these adorable little circles can be used for a felt chore chart, routine reminders, or even a memory game if you collect enough of them. I am totally in LOVE with these! They are so cute! And easy for my son to understand & he get a great feeling of accomplishment when he gets a physical display of all that he has achieved for the day. We will also use these circles for learning to count & learning colors! Oh....how I love felt! Now to narrow down all the things I want to make. Should I have the chore felt board be a framed piece? Or a roll up mat that can hang on a ribbon? So many ideas to make with felt!

Happy New Year!

Wow! So far it's been quite the year so far....we have lots of changes that are coming our way. Which seems appropriate that these pictures come to me in this time and season. This pot, is something I made in a ceramics class in Champaign at Parkland College, it was one of the last requirements I needed to fill to get into Grad School for Art Therapy....(long story, I will get back to some other day). Anyway, it has on is Proverbs 3:5-6 carved into the walls of the pot. It's a pretty tall pot....one of the best pieces that I completed in ceramics. Anyway, I love this piece. Is it proudly displayed somewhere in my house? Um....no. God had me give this away. I remember distinctly arguing with God about it too. I was walking through the Vineyard Church, and God spoke to me and told me to give the pot to Emily. She was Emily Hoerr, now Pool....she was moving to another town to plant a church. At the time she didn't have a job, and she bought a house in faith that God would show up. And He did! She got a job, she also got engaged in that house I believe. She's now happily married and has a beautiful little boy! She is also the one that took these FABULOUS pictures. Here we are, just having moved from Missouri back to our home state of Iowa. I don't really know what the year is going to turn out like, or what the Lord has in store for us, but I know that He is there guiding our paths...and I am trusting in Him!
