Best Of Knit Accessories - 40 Quick Projects, Mitts, Scarves & More


It's that time of year again! I LOVE knitting, and thanks to Leisure Arts, Inc. I can easily do so. I taught myself to knit while I was pregnant with our middle child. I needed something to do with my hands to pass the time and I've always enjoyed sewing and creating things. Knitting is the perfect thing to pass time and can easily be interrupted and picked back up again. With little kids, this is necessary for projects I take on!

The newest book I've received from Leisure Arts, Inc. is their Best of Knit Accessories, with 40 quick projects that include mittens, scarves, headbands, and even handbags. (+more!!) I wanted something quick and something I don't have yet so I decided to create the Lacy Headwrap on page 56 of the book. It took me less than two days to make and is super cute!

My favorite part about this book is the General Instructions starting on page 120. It tells you about the abbreviations used in the book, symbols & terms, and all the different techniques used in the book. With the headwrap I used two techniques I had never done before - the Left Twist and the Right Twist. With the directions given in the book, I was able to easily figure out how it was done. There are illustrations to help guide you, along with the instructions.

The book is gorgeous and I am SO happy to own it. I can't wait to start my next project out of it. 

Here are pictures of the actual book and the headwrap I made:

Dance With Me, Momma

Sometimes one day in our life is just what we need to keep on moving forward. A little inspiration, encouragement and hope entering into our sometimes dismal worlds. Today just happened to be one of those days for me. My family and I went on a short hike at a new park my husband found. We climbed up steep hills meant for mountain bikes and followed small trails intended for wild animals. We were able to explore the woods and enjoy God's beautiful world and enjoy the peace and serenity only that can bring. What touched me most deeply was when Benjamin stopped me about 3/4 of the way through our hike. He pulled my face close to his and whispered in his sweet voice, "Dance with me, momma." So right there in the middle of the woods with only Lawrence looking on, I danced with my 4 year old. He hummed a sweet tune and spun me on the forest floor like we were in a ball room and I was a princess and him a prince. Then he grabbed my face and kissed my lips and said, "

WINNER ANNOUNCED! Forskolin Coleus - An All Natural Weight Loss Supplement Review & Giveaway

Image
Hosted By  Beautifully Poor Sponsored By Nourishing Well Nutritionals I am a skeptic when it comes to weight loss supplements and have never gotten into the fads. Lately though, I cannot seem to lose weight very well. I won't take anything that isn't natural and I know it takes work to get into shape and lose weight. As we all know to well, body fat is extremely stubborn! I exercise regularly and eat healthy, so this supplement was just the thing to kick start my fat loss journey. I started taking this on April 8th of this year. At the same time, I started doing 30 minutes of strength training in the morning BEFORE I ate breakfast. Also, having a glass of something caffeinated like black or green tea or a cup of black coffee FREE of sugar and creamer, can help kick start your body and give you energy. After the half hour of exercise, I wait about 20 minutes and then take 2 Forskolin Coleus pills. Within 20-30 minutes of taking those, I eat a well balanced mea
