Motherhood has always been celebrated. In prehistoric tribes the mother Goddess was worshiped as the creator of life. Female goddess figures are found in many archeological digs. In Egypt, Isis was the Queen of Heaven who ruled over all matters concerning mothering. In ancient Greece Rhea was revered as the mother goddess and in ancient Rome it was Hera, the jealous wife of Zeus, and another mother goddess known as Cybele. Most mothering festivals in early history were in the springtime to cele...
The Liebster Award! Do you know what this is about? No? Neither did I, until today. That I was awarded the Liebster Award! Updating.... I was honored TWICE!! A dear friend that honored me passing this on to my blog, made some research and found a little about it as she states: " I had never heard of it before yesterday. And after doing a tiny little bit of research it seems that the origin of the award is very unclear. This is what I found": 'Liebster' means 'favorite' or 'dearest' in German. ...

There has be no OFFICIAL word from Etsy yet, but it is raging in ETSY SITE HELP(UPDATE, the answer from Etsy is at the end of this post) The most affected will beBNR's and BNS's, I think they are a lot of fun, I've made good friends through them and I've found sellers that I wouldn't have found otherwise. I don't think treasury chatting is a bad thing, because it encourages camaraderie among sellers, who also happen to be buyers. Is something like chatting at a coffeehouse, with the only diff...

Spring is here and flowers are blooming everywhere, even in clothes and accessories. These flowers act as more of a statement detail than a romantic touch. Knit and Crochet flowers are quick, simple to make, and lovely always. I like to sew flowers on hats, headbands and bags . Sometimes I make them into a brooch, using a french barrette, instead of sewing them on a headband. For making them we need very little yarn, and it is a great way to use the beautiful scraps that we always have!
I have been seeing this kind of things in my friend's FB Pages but I didn't know how to make them. Well, today I was playing with some programs and I love the results This one with some character's hats Hats and headbands Hats Fingerless gloves Sweaters, poncho shawls and cowls Ponytail holders and headbands A little bit of everything I know, I know, for a lot of people this is so easy, is something that you do everyday and are used to, but for me, this is simply wonderful!!
