Time to Stitch......Who has it?

Sometimes when you think about all the time you have, lol, what time?  Sounds funny doesn't it.  I love to stitch and most days if I get to it before 10pm at night consider it a blessing.  I have three children, three and under at home and I am a business owner and a stay at home mom so finding/making time to stitch projects for sale and pleasure is a challenge.  However, it needs to be said that I do believe that God has given me these talents and therefore I press on.  I have gifts already lined up to make for the holidays and if I do not get started soon, it will definitely be considered rushing to the finish.  Thanks for listening if there is anybody out there......Here are some pics of things I have made.

Intro to Sanity

This blog is being created to provide an outlet for the crafts I have taught myself and hone in order to sell or produce wonderful handmade things for friends, family and strangers alike.  I have known how to knit and crochet since I was a teenager however it was not until I was pregnant with my first child that I started to take the skill a little more seriously.  And then, after having 3 children in 4 years it became an outlet and something to calm my nerves at times when the sit in the bathroom tactic just did not work.  As I go forward there are so many things to show you but it needs to be said initially that I am noooooo expert at this and everything you see here I have either reproduced or wrote my own pattern for.  As I cite others work, I will post the links where it came from and of course I will do my best to post the patterns for the original work.  Enjoy and if I can answer any questions or help someone along the way I am more than happy to do so...
