soft spoken

i am an original 

sais the quiet girl 

who gets a bit lost in a crowd of unique faces

i am what i am

sais the girl

as she does her best impression of the sailor man

but at the end of the day 

i must be happy 

and ok with the fact that most will never know me

most will never have heard of me

and most will continue on unaware of what was never presented to them

and so i am unique

sais the girl

in a proud quiet voice

that was heard only by a few

the few that mattered 

to her

.......

carry on

still in motion..

theres more here then i can see

what and where

and lucky me

and why oh why

who knows 

dont ask

just be glad

smile

bask

in all the things you were given

all the things that now are

and be thankful for new

and for healing scars

and be hopeful for future

when no one else will

and be strong for you all

when your moving up hill

tunnel vision

sometimes you might not be able to see 

where it is you are going

so make sure to enjoy the ride..

SEASONAL WREATHS

at littlepapoose

Custom orders being taken now

while supplies are still in stock!

stockings

ok folks... the stockings are starting! This guy to my left is forrester. Supers soft flannel on the outside and a great cotton on the inside.(see my etsy for details) Im working on some more flannel ones due to the fact that i absolutely loved how they turned out. soft a cuddly, yet warm and stylish...

Then we have indigo.. She is a great stocking.Lined with this awsome cotton ive been waiting to use. And i just got this wool in this past week and cant wait to make some hats and more stocking ect. out of it. So im taking orders as well. embelishing them as much or as little as you want. beads, trees, snowflakes, holly, flowers, the list goes on. Whether your looking for a traditional look, or a bit more .... fun and silly, i can do both.

the model model

my latest works... hats! yes ive been sewing away to make these adorable little baby hats. (and adult) this ones size is @ 3-6 months.



so of coarse when it comes time for the photos, my model is an obvious choice. my little plum!
of coarse lately (with homeschooling and all) my projects dont get a chance to be worked on till evening. and my model lately is starting her daily meltdown around 4:30pm-6pm. which seems the absolute latest i can keep her up. usually i give up around 5:30pm, and put her to bed.



But not this particular night. no no, plum you must stay up to model my hat!..... it was 6. dad just got home so i grab the camera...."smile baby"!


she was not having it. It started off with a drooly face and a blank stare. so i try for that big winning smile, no luck. I make funny noises, daddy even tickles! still, no luck. only now the blank stare is a frown...there goes the lip! awwww, dont cry...

too late! shes tired. moms got her in this hat, dads holding her up, theres bright light and a flashing camera!
no way that was gonna work. so i admit defeat. take off the hat. comfort my poor baby , who has been forced to endure some sort of child labor by modeling for me....



and im stuck with the winning shot.......

wreaths

This is an example of the wreaths that i make.
Though not that big, they do make quite an impact! They can be hung from doorknobs or just on doors. This one is made from glass balls....

I have also used other materials in making them such as red berries (fake of coarse), candies, bells....ect. Each wreath is handmade, and the base is wrapped with silk ribbon, which can be seen from the back .


I have also made more springtime wreaths. Made from silk flowers, and again the base was rapped in ribbon.



I hope to be making some this yr. especially for the holiday season. I am also taking custom orders on these too!
