Hand crocheted hand warmers made with rice, lentils and lavender.

Nuke for 30 seconds and stays warm for 40 minutes!

Slacker

So recently someone pointed out that I am a slacker at posting to my blog (yeah, you know who you are), and to be honest they were totally right. All this social media stuff really takes time though! If you do not sell things online it may not seem obvious how this can happen but you can spend a whole day just updating your sites. You take pictures to upload, but then the lighting is off and you need to retake them just to find out that the pictures don't fit in the online template so you take them again and guess what, they come out blurry so you retake them again and finally it all works out so you are about to upload and be done but then it's time to pic up your kid from school and rush back home to download….and that's just one site.! Me personally I use Blogger here for my blog, Facebook for personal use and for The Lemonade Shop, Tumblr, Twitter, Etsy and my actual website as well so it can take a whole day just making sure you are current on everything! I would not change it for the world though, so I will again promise to keep my blog current at least weekly. For more of the daily stuff going on I would encourage you to "like" The Lemonade Shop on Facebook by hitting the big blue f on the right! :)

Talk to you soon and will post some well overdue pics very soon!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Hope you all have a fun and safe holiday!

Cozy Up!

I made these a few years ago and I just love how they fit and how cozy they can make a cold night. I think I may make some more pairs in wool as gifts and for myself. They are called the Oma Slipper and they are all kinds of happy…here is the pattern!

Harvesting

We grew sunflowers this summer and you will not believe how fast they grew! We got a ton of really tall & big sunflowers. When they started to dry up we cut off the heads and as a family we harvested the seeds from each one. Now next year we will be able to plant a lot more!

I have been a bad blogger but I promise to get better. 

Exciting things have been going on and have taken me away from a few things! I started my online shop for my handmade knitting stitch markers and have started doing crochet hooks too. For the most past it is done and I plan on updating it was new things become available.

In addition to starting the website have begun trying getting into local shops as well. As of now I have things at Stash in Castle Rock, CO; Fabric Bliss, Denver, CO; Fancy Tiger, Denver, CO and Cake Crumbs, Denver, CO…and working on getting into more as I type.

So, that's what's going on! Take a peek and I promise to write again soon! :)

Cupcakes!

I am a little behind on my blog! Yikes!
Thought I would post a little of what has been going on. A few months ago I started working with Cake Crumbs who also run The Denver Cupcake Truck. The owners, Denon and Sean Moore, are the nicest of people and they happen to make the most most amazing cupcakes. The chocolate chocolate is my favorite. The frosting reminds me of my grandma's fudge and it is as thick too. How can you not like a cupcake where you have to bite off the frosting? If you are ever in Denver you must stop by (it's a hop, skip and a jump away from the Denver Zoo) and it is also where you will find the little cuties below. Cake Crumbs sells my cupcakes and lattes which happen to make really great gifts. It's a win win, a cupcake to eat and a cupcake to keep! 

Pretty Gloves

This is what happens when you see a pretty project and make it easier so that you can actually finish it! I have to say I LOVE the way they came out. Don't you? I foresee these being under a lot of trees this Christmas as well. Ho, ho, ho….
