I have decided to try and do more photography and the first step is to participate in this challenge by fat mum slim.  i have dragged my mom into it as well, you can check her pictures out once the challenge starts over at Oldentimes.

I hope you will enjoy the pictures we post and feel free to jump in and join us!  it is always fun to challenge yourself with new ideas for your hobbies /obsessions 🙂

Not a craft but something else i love to do

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Tara Jo

i enjoy many crafts, knitting crocheting, quilting etc. but my real creative love is photography… so i have decided to throw some of my pictures and picture taking excursions here, partly to have more post subjects since my crafting has slowed way down and to share more of my work with friends who aren’t on facebook (yes some people have resisted the draw) 🙂

so to begin!
Saturday Feb 18th a trip to the Safari Park

Tiny little stockings continue… Finally

So finally I am getting some more done on the stocking.   The Kitchener stitch used to finish the toe is a challenge and i didn’t really ‘get it’ until I was almost done so the toe looks ok but it doesn’t look as neat as it should…   I think I have it now though and since it is also used to finish the heel I really hope I have it right. 🙂

Tiny little stockings

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Tara Jo

it has been awhile!  but i am back on the crafting bus 🙂  last night i went to an awesome class for Mini Christmas Stockings.. SO CUTE!  here is the top cuff and the leg of the sock so far.   another 6 or so rows and it will be time for the heel.  once i get that far, i go back to knit night for more direction 🙂   it is a challenge to work on such small needles, but it is a lot of fun once you get going 🙂  the toe and heel will be the red/white/green and the rest of the foot will be the red.

i will keep you updated!

Amigurumi night!

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Tara Jo

So…. Monday night was Amigurumi night… we gathered at Michelle’s house now that JaziCrafts has closed its doors. (don’t worry www.jazicrafts.com is still there)

we were working on Hedgehog part 2 having completed, well ok, mostly completed the homework assignment of ear & arm making 🙂

so there we were… talking about politics and current events and other very important things, when someone mentions that we should have taken pictures of the before hedgehog and the after hedgehog… and it just went down hill from there…

so with no further adieu, feast your eyes on the first public advertisement for our NEW business venture….

Feeling left out because you have no fur?

there is hope for everyone!

don't take their mockery any longer!

you will see improvement practically overnight!

take it from me, I'm not just a client.......

I'M THE PRESIDENT!

HAIRCLUB FOR HEDGEHOGS!

WE CAN HELP YOU!
