Hey everyone! So I finally have some crochet-related news. If you have been following my facebook then you already know what it is. Kitty Cat Hats are now up in the store! There was a preview of the orange tabby cat hat in my Whisper Challenge video that I posted in my last blog entry, but in actuality there are FOUR different types to choose from. Clockwise starting in the top left corner you have the black cat, the cheshire, the gray tabby, and the orange tabby. I really love how these turned out! They are wacky good fun and most importantly comfortable and warm. I've already started the planning for a video involving them, now all I need is footage. So that will be one of the things I will be working on the next couple of weeks. I love animals and I will most likely be designing more furry and not so furry friend themed accessories. Owls and definitely raccoons will turn up at some point. =) Until then... Ciao meow!

So I've been feeling a little down lately. It's partly the weather, it's partly a lot of other things. Those of you that have been following me know that I had a lot of health and anxiety issues when I was working at my previous job and was fired for no reason at all because of it. If you don't know my history you can check that out: Anyways, as much as I've found my happiness with my crochet, blogging and videos it is going very slow. So much so that I can't devote my entire time to it anymore. I've got to find another place to work. Which of course makes me very sad and anxious. I'm am trying my best to stay positive. I hope that you all will stick with me in my (hopefully temporary) struggle. This won't mean that I am giving up. It just means that I may or may not be able to update the site and my media as often. I sincerely hope not!! I do have some good news though. The weather is supposed to be warmer this week, so guess what that means? I can take pictures and videos of the cat hats! Look for them on the website soon! In the meantime, I did something with Sylvia to try and cheer myself up and it was quite fun! If you are in need of a severe case of belly stitches, watch this! Not much happening on the crochet front as of now I'm sorry to say. Though I have finished the cat hats, the weather has not been too cooperative as far as photos and filming. Let's hope for some warm weather soon! Speaking of which, I've had spring on the brain and when I think of spring I sometimes think of clover. Which then got me thinking of St. Patrick''s day and a pot of gold. Haha! So, unsurprisingly that became the focus of today's art journal. When I think of a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, I also think of dreams. Not sleeping dreams but real dreams. And unlike sleeping dreams, real dreams don't just come to you. You have to follow or build them yourself. My mom Sylvia was working on a few art projects of her own today and was using these interesting pastels. Since I wanted a sort of dreamy effect to my page I thought I'd try them out too. I felt like I was working with eye shadow to be honest! But they turned out really nice. Today's page kind of has a childlike quality to it. Which is rather appropriate because as children we often have a lot of dreams and things that we want to accomplish and as we get older we get wrapped up in responsibilities and forget all about them. If you've forgotten your childhood dreams see if you can find them again. They may not be very obvious but they are still there somewhere!
