The Last Sunday in 2007

This really has been a fantastic year! I hope 2008 is even better. Here are a couple of my new creations. They are just begging for a wrist to call home. I have made matching earrings to go with so you will have a set.

The red and yellow cha cha below was inspired by the crazy fun Kansas City Chief's Fans!

Almost a New Year, New Obsession

Okay folks. Let's just say I'm a little nuts, but being a little nuts is better than not being nuts at all. Me and my A.D.D. have finally met a suitable hobby... introducing the A.D.D. Dream....... Cha Cha Bracelets!

I can sit for hours and look at the charms on my bracelets that I wear each day. LOL! It's like eye candy.

Here are a couple that I recently finished, this does not even include the ones I made as Christmas Gifts but did not photograph.

Would you like to feed my obsession? These amazing creations can be purchased! You go it... go to my Etsy Store!

A Very Merry Christmas!

With love,

Victor, Gabe, Katie Lyn and Mark

Have I got a SIRIUS treat for you!!

This is a fantastic picture of my personal Physical Therapist, Cheri. Cheri has worked on my poor joints and seen me through 5 surgeries on my spine so far. She is a miracle worker!

Yesterday, I was being treated after a long long week of tutor'n for finals. After sitting over a desk for 12 hours a day, my neck is usually close to falling off and my hips, I'm sure, will become detachable as well.

So as Cheri is doing this trans-tendon achy breaky massage on my quad muscle right up by my hip bone, she tells me this most amazing story of two Weimaraner puppies named Charlie and Parker.

Charlie and Parker were thrown out of a car on a bridge. Upon impact below, they suffered serious leg breaks and lived there scavenging. They were eventually rescued and were rehabilitated by several organizations, vets, and Cheri who all donated their services to save these two beautiful dogs!

I was just amazed at the whole thing! Now, after seeing Cheri in action with me and a couple of my other loved ones, I am just in awe at her ability to make people feel better mentally and physically. When a person lives with chronic pain, it takes a toll on every aspect of their life!
I speak from experience here!

Anyway, if you are anywhere near Kansas City and you have a dog in need of rehabilitation, contact Cheri through her website: www.siriustherapy.com. If you are a "people" in the Kansas City Area, Cheri can be found at Modern Physical Therapy!

She is amazing, thorough and just a wonderful person. I am grateful that she is able to spend the time with me that I need to feel better. Thank you Cheri!

Holy Ice Balls Bat Man!

Kansas City MO! 12-11-2007

Everytime it Snows

Cookie Exchange and Clipoard Night

Every now and then I get an idea... let's get together and eat and make something cool! I originally planned on making Christmas Cards, Gift Boxes and Gift Tags and as I was getting ready for the party, I realized... I could surprise the dickens out of my guests and we can make clipboards!!!

So, presented with over 24,000 pieces of paper to choose from... here are the highlights of the evening!

Warm Tootsies!

This little piggie went to market,
This little piggie stayed home,
This little piggie had roast beef,
This little piggie had NONE,
and
This little piggie went weeee weee weee wee
all the way home to wear his new SCHOOL
SPIRIT SLIPPERS hand made by my
fantastic mom!

These slippers are custom made to fit any foot. She makes them in any color combination to suit your favorite team, school, college or even your favorite colors. I've had a pair of these slippers given to me each year since I was a baby. They are double thick, incredibly warm and are machine washable.

They can come with or without a pom pom. The pom pom can be solid color or confetti colored using both the yarn colors in the slipper.

My mom's favorite slippers to knit are the Denver Broncho's and the University of Oregon Ducks! My school colors when I was at Humboldt State were green and yellow, so I wore plenty of pairs of those.

I have started an Etsy store for her, but I have YET to list anything. I wanted to let you all know before I do her grand opening. My hopes are to have samples listed on the etsy site and start letting her take orders by the end of this week.

Now, this might be too late for this Christmas delivery, but think about the Super Bowl, Graduation, Father's Day, Mother's Day or any occasion!

For the most part, she knows shoe sizes (especially for little kids) but if you want a true custom fit, you can send in a tracing of your foot and she can make extra long slippers, extra wide, or if you are Shrek, extra wide and short!

The cute slippers shown here are 6 blocks long---- that equates to approximately 7 inches long with plenty of room for the piggies!
Prices: Baby/ Toddler Up to 4 inches long: $8.00 pair
Child Sizes Up to 7 inches long: $12.00 pair
Adult Sizes : $20.00 pair

Shipping/ Handling for up to 5 pairs: $6.00 includes USPS Priority Packaging.
