Finally Posted Some New Hand Carved Rubber Stamps!!

Been trying for over a week now to get these new stamp designs listed but with summer duties calling, you know, those pool side days and running here and there with the kids I just have not had the chance.
But  today it is raining here in South GA and I am on a rainy day schedule!! :-)) The day trip to the beach has been cancelled and I am sitting on my bed posting my stamps and listening to the relaxing sound of rain hitting the sky light, it really is a nice sound. Occasionally I hear the singing of tree frogs calling out to one another, in fact, my son found the cutest frog this morning sitting in a puddle on the trash bin, I mean he is CUTE!! Posted a pic of the baby frog as well :-) 
So, here they are, let me know what you think... I really love comments :-)

Grrrr, I do not know why some pictures load sideways!! :-(



For all of my fellow "hookers" :-)

Is this not the tiniest most adorable little frog ever!!! :-)

A horse and a hook

My daughter and some friends wanted to ride their horses at the local saddle club the other night so I thought yea.... crochet!! I am sure a horse and a hook just do not add up at first, but it really does make sense :-) You see, while my daughter rides horses I have nothing to do!! The nothing to do moments do not happen all that often so when  they do I try to sneak in something just for me. Sometimes crochet is like taking a nice hot bath; my muscles tend to release from stress with every stitch and my mind can just go to that "nowhere place"... you know, the place where all of the " I must do this, and I have to get this done" just fade away into the back ground and there is a temporary moment of peace. Yea, just thinking about it causes me to take a nice deep breath.

I was able to make a quick pair of earrings while my daughter rode, I am totally hooked on crochet earrings, I just love them! I have not yet tied up the loose ends in one of them but the other is ready to wear!

I have been featured again!! Yea!!

I am soooo happy to say that my stamps have been featured on another bolg :-)

An ode to my Chickens... something silly

An ode to my chickens: ( For those of you who know about horses and chickens, you will apperciate this... for those who do not you will get the idea :-)

Oh chickens chickens how I love you,
not only do you spread the horse poo,
but you give me two eggs every day,
and you keep the garden bugs at bay :-)

Been playing around with my stamps and cricut!

Just a few cards I made with my stamps... you can find them in my etsy shop, just look to your right :-)

This is a letterboxing log book I made, I am sending this stamp to a letterboxer in another state for a letterboxing swap! The other boxer will plant this box in her state and I will plant the stamp she sends me in my state! Very Cool :-)

It's been a long time... I am missing my hooks

I really am hooked on crochet... but it has been while since I picked up a hook. I love the way crocheting makes me feel, it has a very calming effect on my mind and body and I do miss it. I really need to get back to the hooks, but for now I am somewhat satisfied just revisiting my past work. Here is a necklace/choker I made a few months back, I wanted to try the crochet jewelry thing, and I really do like it. I made several earrings as well and wear them often.
