Fabulous Find ~ Yarn Project Bags!

Oh my gosh!

Have you ever found something in a store that was made for one purpose, but you saw a totally different and exciting use for it?

Well, I had one of those exciting moments this weekend at Crate and Barrel and the best part is that they were on sale to boot!

I cannot wait to show you what I found...

See these "potato and garlic" storage bags? I took one look at them and saw "yarn project bags" with drawstring openings on both ends to pull yarn from your center pull skeins!

They are bright, cheerful and the pefect size to keep your yarn, hooks, measuring tape and pattern with you wherever you go without the yarn getting all tangled up while you work!

I have always wanted yarn project bags like these but they can be very pricey! Guess how much these are? They are under $10 each even before their current sale price!

Aren't they fabulous?

I got a set for myself and one for Melanie too!

All 4 bags cost less than one bag that I have seen made for this purpose!

Fun Fun Fun!

They can be purchased online at CrateandBarrel.com or you can find them at your local Crate and Barrel store.

Let me know if you get one too. I am still giddy with delight from finding them!

The Berry Farm!

Happy Friday everyone!

Melanie and I had the most wonderful time at the Berry Patch picking farm last weekend!


We picked tons of strawberries and raspberries on a beautiful late summer morning!

How fun!

Fred came too with his camera and took all of these wonderful photos!

I brought my little camera too and captured this huge piggy!

He reminded me of Emmitt!

Look How happy he is!

This video cracks me up!

So very Puggy!

Yummy!

We were so thrilled to pick so many beautiful berries!

What a wonderful day!

Do you have any apple orchards, berry or veggie farms that you like to visit in your part of the world?

Please leave us a note and let us know! We would love to hear all about your favorite places!

Ginger was Spotted in Liberia!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

We have wonderful news to share with you!

Do you remember Ginger, The Mother Bear we made in last March?

Emmitt and I were tickled pink to hear from Amy at The Mother Bear Project, that Ginger was spotted in Liberia!

She is happily showing all of the children the dance routines that Emmitt taught to her!

Emmitt is so happy, all he can do is sing!

It is so wonderful to see her in the arms of a child!

Joy! Joy! Joy!
