In an earlier post I made mention of my craftiness.
I now have a shop on a web site to sell my creations.
(most of the stuff I do is designed by others and I always make a point of giving full credit to the individual who is so much more talented than me)
My stuff can be found (and purchased, hint .. hint ..) at www.amarietucker.etsy.com
My shop name is Tying Knots in String With Sticks.

I was absolutely thrilled last week to find that I had sold my very first item.
Here are a few pictures of what ya'll missed out on...



Its called Flowers for Eryn Wrap designed by Tracy St. John and the pattern can be found in the Winter 2007 Interweave Crochet magazine.
Thank you to my lovely brat gurl for modeling it for me, and thank you very much to the wonderful person in Michigan who has managed to justify my yarn stash.
I hope you love the wrap.

My newest project is to rework the pattern with crochet thread as a table runner.
So I have to run now and stress my arthritis in my hands so I can try to make something beautiful.

Wish me luck. :)

We have moved.
We now live in Tooele, UT
Bought a house, got the kids in school, and I am looking for daycare for the younger two and a job for me.
This area is beautiful.
We are completely surrounded by mountains and Salt Lake City is only 30 minutes from here.
Here are some photos of our view

birthdays

My middle son will turn 5 on the 28th.
I don't remember telling him that he could get older. His dad must have given him that permission.

Anyway, this kid has decided that he needs everything he sees on the TV.
His big brother got the HavocHelis for Christmas and now he has decided that he needs a yellow one for his birthday.
He also regularly tells me that he needs a PSP and a Wii. He needs a DS, and more Moon Sand.
He has even told me that he needs more ink and paper for my printer so he can print more pictures that he creates on my computer.

It's actually kind of cute to hear him get so excited over so many things. Its also nice to know that he wont take it too hard if he doesn't get everything he needs for his birthday. he didn't get everything he needed for Christmas but he was perfectly happy with all of the things he did get.


Oh dang another commercial, now he needs Mighty Putty...
