Tiny Mittens

I got the idea to make these after seeing some tiny mittens on a line(they were knitted though) at Anthropologie, which I loved but didn’t want to spend the money. I have a hard time doing that when I know I can make it! I got to work on it, and made four so far, but gave one set away to my mom. I want to have enough to have a line of mittens someday… but so far this is all I have left. I didn’t use a pattern, just made it up :)

I have been thinking about sharing it as a free pattern on my blog someday; just haven’t sat down long enough to do it yet.

I thought I'd leave you with a little photo of lovely little Sheila, inside my drawer, 'hiding'.
She thinks I can't see her.

Silly cat.
Happy Tuesday! I have a huge test I have been busily studying for Philosophy today. Wish me luck!
XOXO, Callie

Mushroom Clock

Hello there!

I have another finished project to share. A little wall clock that I painted with a happy mushroom. I got the wooden form on sale last year at Hobby Lobby, and just now got around to painting it.
All in all I am happy with how it turned up.

And now here it is on the wall in my room, right next to Sam the Mushroom man.

Here's a little close-up of his face.

He's happy to see you!

Can you tell?

I thought I might leave you with a photo of my sweet Sheila, snoozing on my yarn.

What a cutie she is.

:)

Happy Thursday!!

Sheila Kitty Revisited

Why hello there! This is Sheila, curled up on my floor while I was in the middle of cleaning, so please try to ignore the Hancock's bags in the background...
...I swear this cat is the sweetest thing ever, all she has been doing lately is purring like crazy,sitting happily on my lap of her own volition, playing fetch with her string (is she part dog?!?!?), rubbing up against me, meowing when she sees me, running up the stairs and straight to my door :), sleeping in my lap while studying, and the list goes on...she gets sweeter everyday.
Today I painted more, and studied quite a bit for a psychology test I have tomorrow. But never fear, tomorrow I will be happy to show you what I have painted.
Happy Monday!
XOXO, Callie
