Leap of Faith

LEAP OF FAITH!!!!!

I am gonna learn to use a sewing machine in 2014!!! I have this long standing fear of sewing machine failure-Thanks to my middle school home ec. teacher!!!! and I decided its time to move on!

 ok- its still in the box- but I will conquer my fears and take that leap of faith into my future- so much i want to do!!!!

 AND HERE IS AN AMAZING PLACE TO START:

Happy New Year with featured artist Jamie Griffith

 

 Happy New Year friends! and today, I decided to kick off the new year by featuring an artist whose gorgeous crochet creations, I absolutely love!!!

 

 

Here is the first thing I ever purchased from the lovely JAMIE GRIFFITH. I met Jamie through her equally fabulous Mom- Renee, who is a friend of my own mother-

How cute is this!?!?!?!

 

 

 

Next up, this endearing cup cozy! Which is also amazing for your travel mug- She has 2 different styles and lots of  gorgeous yarns and colors...I fell in love with this soft pink...

 

 

 You can see why I had to have this grey hat!!!! I love everything about it!!!!

and the black infinity scarf was a gift from Jamie- since you cant  feel it, I will tell you it is made from the softest most lovely black yarn I have ever seen!!!!

 

 

 Last but not least....a Jamie specialty- the classic shawlette-

 

 

I just happened to have this cool vintage pin that fits perfectly with this sumptuous chocolate brown shawlette Jamie custom made for me!
