KNITTING NEEDLES Eclecticpelican

I do not knit. Really wish I did and would like to learn one day.  I just have always wanted to say..
knit one, purl two.

 1958 NEEDLE CRAFT MAGAZINE  MADEBYDEE

I do crochet.  Actually, I'm just getting back to it after many, many years.  I enjoy the feeling of peace and quiet crocheting brings with it. Unfortunately, my not so peaceful cluttered brain keeps butting in with "what ifs," making  it very hard to follow patterns.  You keep wondering what if you did it this way or that way instead.  Needless to say, I have some unfinished projects sitting in my bag.

 

Vintage Tapestry Knitting Bag

I did find some beautiful items that other wonderfully creative people have manage to finish...
thought I' d share them with you today.

a little etsy whisper

while I paint the kitchen walls ...so we can install the banquette ..which started from opening up the sun room wall...which started from ripping up the floor in said sun room & installing heat...

yes..it's the unending project which I hope to have time to blog about...

in the meantime a little etsy eye candy for you...from some of my soft favorites that whisper lovely things to me....

this treasury ..soft as a whisperrrr..will be live until this Saturday am
go visit...when you need a calm little hug...they really are lovely!
Enjoy!

etsy finds for lisa

lisa.. the ultra talented force behind Portland Child Photography just happens (luckily) to be my daughter in law. among other talents, she is also a dedicated runner. lisa had a birthday awhile back and I thought I'd surprise her and dedicate an etsy treasury to her.

a spot for an etsy treasury is becoming harder and harder to grab and publish as so many people are waiting to create one. a way for me to use some creative energy and also highlight a few of my favorites among the many talented people on etsy. i really enjoy making them!

well..I finally managed to get one! as luck would have it...lisa is on vacation, away from all means of modern contact...yup... think deserted island .....{sun, sand, water}

so..we will all have to enjoy this treasury for her.. until she returns to this cruel, cruel world..

take a peek...you might also enjoy visiting all the wonderful sellers on this treasury..

as this treasury disappears from etsy in a few days i have included links below
