Saying Goodbye

I had a dream last night
  That I was trying to write you a letter
On stationary, upon a little hill
  One looking over the green valley that we call home
But a strong gust of wind blew
  And ripped your letter from my hands
Leaving me behind with only a pen
  As proof that I tried at all
The wind left me behind
  With my hair flowing, and dress twirling
Collapsed upon my knees in disdain
  For I had tried to say goodbye

By my darling came along and lifted me
  And even you said he'd be good to me
He held me close and carried me down the hill
  And I remembered what you said
"He's good to you right? Because that's what counts.
  Don't take anything less."
So while you're there and we, your friends
  Remain behind, know that we're all safe
Please don't worry about us, we'll worry about you
  Just remember me in that sundress
  Dancing out on your summer lawn

World, Meet Baby Hettie and Momma Hattie!

I made Baby Hettie for a paying customer who is giving her away to a friend who is having a baby shortly after Thanksgiving! I wish her friend the best and happy travels Baby Hettie!

Momma Hattie needs a nose-job (my fault entirely) but it doesn't mean that she can't be less loved! If no one buys her, she might be going on the craft table in a few weeks! Well, yes I have been offered to place items on a table at an upcoming craft fair in December! I'm so excited!

I'll post a picture of who else will be joining us on the table, in the meantime...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

Scared

The youth of today
Know more than us

They can whiz by us on equipment 
That we built
Survive sicknesses
That once killed us
Solve crisises
That once plagued us
Understand problems
That once confused us
Invade in private places
That we didn't dare to go

The youth of yesterday
Know less than us

They can't understand technology
That we built
Survive sicknesses
That we found vaccinations for
Solve crisises
That we now find child's play
Understand problems
Which we have now solved
Avoided Private places
Which we dared to explore

The youth of today
Cannot teach the youth of tomorrow
As the youth of yesterday
Were not able to teach us

Can we learn from our mistakes
And teach the ones that come after
Or will we wallow in our mistakes
And refuse to learn again

Never

If I were yours
There's so much that you'd say
Or what you should say
Rather, what I wish you would say
If I were yours

If I were yours
There are so many places that you'd take me
Or places you should take me
Actually, more like places I wish you would take me
If I were yours

If I were yours
There are so many things that you'd do for me
Or things you should do
Perhaps, things I wish you'd do for me
If I were yours

But I'm not yours
So you won't say these sweet nothings
That I wish that you would say
Instead I've found another who will say
I am his

But I'm not yours
So you won't take me to somewhere new
That I wish you would take me
Instead I've found another who will and will say
I am his

But I'm not yours
So you won't do simple things for me everyday
That I wish you would any day or night
Instead I've found another and in this way he says
I am his

This Little Piggy ...

Business is booming on my end! Someone asked me if I could make a piggy themed hat, and sure enough I can! This little piggy is staying home for just one more day, then he's heading out to his new home! The best part about him is that he is really warm on those really cold days that we have out here!
Enjoy your new home Piglet!

Monkeying Around

"Let's Monkey, Let's Monkey Around!" 

My friend is having a baby and her theme for the little one is Monkeys! So to welcome the little one into the world, she asked me to make her a monkey hat that went along with the theme. I hope the little guy likes it! (And I hope that I made it big enough! The doctor says he's getting bigger by the day!)

Minions

"It's So FLUFFYYYY!!!!!"

Couldn't resist! A friend of mine sent me a picture of one pattern and from there I took off with the minions! I've made quite a few (you can't have just one minion!) and as you can see here they came out pretty awesome!
The best part is, Christmas is coming up and these are great stocking stuffers!
