Caromie is back in town,

I know I've been gone a long time.  Work has been insane and keeping me away from many of the things I enjoy doing.  Crafting and writing being two of those. Now things seem a bit calmer in that space, so I am sincerly hoping I get some time to do the things I enjoy now.

I'll be back soon

I just recently recieved a bunch of new supplies, so I'll be busy crafting away again soon.

I've been busy lately with my regular job and haven't had much extra time to do much else.

Short Scarf

I finished this one a while ago, but only now got to listing it.

This is short scarf, is fine for an adult, but probably better suited for a child.

Its fun, and fluffy.

New Bookmarks

I made a couple more new bookmarks this weekend. I really enjoy making these, a. because they are functional, and b. because they are just fun to make.

I generally make them out of left over bits and pieces that I have and don't really know what to do with.

This one is made from some left over scrap book paper, some ribbon and some cute little bee stickers. Finished off with a tassle, to make it even easier to find your page.

Martin Luther King Day

Today marks the day that Martin Luther King was born, each year, observedthe third Monday in January, close to his birthday (January 15th).

King was the chief spokesman of the nonviolent civil rights movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. He was assassinated in 1968. His most famous speech is no doubt, "I Have A Dream"

Valentines Cards

Here are a couple of the cards I have made for valentines. They are listed in my shop. I haven't used ribbon before on my cards, so I thought I would give a shot. I think it actually worked out rather well, works like a border. I need to get some better colours though.

Caramel - Long Scarf

Took me a while to do this one, I kept stopping and starting, but finally I got there. Its the longest scarf I have ever made. I love knitting with this yarn, it's so soft, and fluffy.

Its ribbed, to make it extra warm for this cold winter, and also makes it skinnier so you can wrap it around a couple more times.

I just listed this item in my Caromie's Knitted Items Store

I just started another scarf with the same yarn, but different colour and different style of scarf, its going to be a shorter fatter one.
