Owl Love You Continued...

I saw a photo on an online blog of a girls living room and there was something on her wall that stood out to me!

See the owl!? Oh I LOVED IT! I wanted it- I didn't know where in the hell she got it and there was nothing on the blog that said anything about it. So- I was going to TRY to make my own version! I knew it wouldn't be exact, but what the hell- I was going to give it a go!
I'm so glad I did! It's not exactly the same, but I love it! Here is what I came up with: 

YAY! I just finished painting the wooden bars last night and let them dry. I had to toss the paint tho- it was too old to use again and it was more watery than I wanted- excuse to buy new paint tho! 

Hope you guys like the new owl of the family! <3

Some things I have been doing!

      Here are some of my mug warmers and coasters I have been working on for Christmas Gifts! I am so happy with how they turned out! I will be making some for the store opening soon!

 They have a cute little button that goes over the handle for easy use!

 and one of the coasters! 

 I even like them without the face, don't know if I will put one on this one!

 and I have been making tea cup candles as well! 

I purchased the wicks at Pat Catans...

      I read that using a double boiler was hard to clean and the wax never really comes out so I purchased a few pretty sented candles and just waited until they melted and poured it around the wick!  Much easier even though I had already purchased a huge block of wax.  I do have a tip tho, make sure you blow it out each time you dump the candle wax into the tea cup... if you don't the flame burns the side of the candle and makes the wax...black. Poo. I learned and if you blow it out each time, it works wonders! I love how it turned out and I wanted to really just keep it! Damn crafts!

Handmade Scarf

    This is my first infinity scarf! I learned a new stitch and was using a bigger crochet hook so I decided to do a "bigger" project than normal! I am so happy with it! I am making all of my Christmas gifts this year so I have been crafting away!  I will hopefully, after the holidays, start working on my Etsy store! I will be working on stocking up on products and crafting away! I really hope to do well with the store and I have some high expectations of myself along with my photography! Would you guys like to see anything in particular in the store? Mug warmers, hats, scarves???? I'd love feedback- but for now, this is the scarf I made for one of the gifts this year and I will make more to sell- if you have a request on the scarves, color, etc., please email me at Sswift583@aol.com! I'd love to custom make it! I may be selling these for about 25-30dollars depending on the amount of yarn used! <3 you all! I will also post non cell phone photos of products- I promise lol!!!

and of course, when I crochet, I have this little guy right by my side! If he had fingers, I bet he'd help! <3
