Yellow Rose for Kaitlyn

My sister Kaitlyn was was quite descriptive about what she wanted for her birthday this year. In fact she chose exactly what I was to make.

Apparently smitten with Jessica's Ruby Red hat, she wanted her own. But in yellow. She chose the yarn and loved its softness (as I do!). It has this little halo of fuzz around it, that makes it seem like it is blurry. I love the finished product, as well as making it. This pattern is so great, even the second time around.

Happy Birthday sissie, glad you liked your gift.

XOXO, Callie

Have a great weekend!

(P.S. Sorry for my continued absence, I can't seem to get back into the habit of blogging... don't worry though, I will be coming back full force!)

(P.S.S. Here's a little song to enjoy, Someone Like You by Adele. Love!)

Rainy Days and kitties...

Its been raining on and off... and whilst doing homework, cleaning the house, and working on some one's birthday gift I was happy enough to enjoy the company of the the trio of sweetest kitties around.

The view from my room has been rather foggy, and rain splattered. When it rains like this I long to be in Germany.

It actually felt a little bit nippy for a few hours and so what did I do? Whip out my cozy handmade socks of course :)

Stay cozy!

XOXO, Callie

San Antonio Botanical Gardens

I've been spending alot of my free time here at the Botanical Gardens.

It's no wonder why.

I love it!

Especially this lake and the Rose Gardens.

Can't wait to go back again! So relaxing :)

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend and enjoys the break! I know I will!!

Vintage Treasures

I was lucky enough to find this sweet little vintage doll while on vacation. She is so wonderful!
I also found this old millinery rose which I plan on making into a pin. Both great finds!
