I use several different patterns from pattern books I've purchased at 123Stitch or from yarn stores. Some I've found online...like from Valliekids and Stitch of love. Some are a combination of what I've learned.

I love the crafter community...everyone is always sharing like Shari and Debi ...to name a few.

Words, Words, Words

On my previous post I guess I must have worded it incorrectly and it seems as if I have moved back to NY. I apologize for this. I recently drove to NY to visit with my family but I am still here in FL. As much as I love NY...my life is now here in Florida and I am happy to be back.


Isn't it crazy how we can word something incorrectly and it can take over a whole new meaning! We must be careful with our words. This was just a small thing on my blog but it has me thinking about a lot of things!

The words we say to one another..good or bad...can have a real affect. I recently read a blog where a wonderful person had some not too nice words said about them. I joined the blog world to to share with others, not only my creations but also a little piece of me. Let's face it, friends....when we blog we are sharing a piece of our lives with others. Let's be kinder and nicer to each other...let's enjoy each other...encourage one another...


"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;" -Romans 12:10


The most powerful words in my life is God's Word! He loves us all so let's love one another as He loves us!


For more encouraging words...check out this awesome blog!
I love you all!!!
