Puppy

This little guy is all finished and shipped out to his new owner. I got it on good notice (the little boy's mother) that green was the owner's favorite color. Also he is getting this new puppy for his birthday. Hopefully he won't be holding his hope up too high for a live puppy. His owner is turning 4 in just a couple of weeks. I am hoping my puppy can provide some love and support to his owner over the years. If you are interested in purchasing your own puppy please go to Mom's Creative Creations.

Some of my new creations

I have been keeping busy at my Etsy store . I thought I would share some of my newest works with you.

This is the snuggle blanket I recently knitted. I am also thinking I am going to make some fleece blankets and add animal's to them such as teddy bears, puppy dogs, kittens, and safari animals. I was also contacted to make a Creeper from the Minecraft games. Here is a picture of my creation:

The young boy also got a mine craft hat that I created. I am currently working on the pig from the same game for this young man. I am trying to keep this from my 8 year old granddaughter because she is a huge fan as well. :) I am working on one of my stuffed puppy dogs in a forest green and off white. I will gladly post a picture once he/she is finished.

Chatabout.com

I have been using a site that allows you to "chat" about many different subjects. For the chatting you earn points towards things such as gift cards or even cash sent to a paypal account. I love this site. While it takes a little while to get enough to cash out it all adds up. I will admit I don't spend the time on the site that would allow me to earn the cash quicker. However, they do have a Bonus Area which allows me to earn more points for doing things such as surveys, entering sweepstakes, watching videos, and listening to music. You really should check it out. Here is a link if you are interested. http://chatabout.com/referral/u/53642

Attempting to make some money doing things I love

As part of the new year, I came back to a site called bubbles.com. My profile on Bubblews can be found by clicking the link. For every person that clicks on one of my writings and either likes it or comments on it I get money in my bank. I can cash out when I reach $50 (once a month). I know $50 is not a lot of money but my plan is to get as many writing sites going and let it all add up. I am also working very hard on my Etsy store. Mom's Creative Creations I would really appreciate it if you would stop by and have a look. I am knit and crocheted items. Also, if you don't see exactly what you are looking for, please start a conversation with me. Most of my work is based on custom requests. I am also going to start looking into Mystery Shopping as a way to add to the income. If anyone has any other ideas, please post a comment below. Happy News Year!

Christmas 2014

It is that time of year again... Christmas. While I love Christmas and spending time with my family and friends it really does become crazy. For example, every morning this week I have gotten up and baked something for Christmas. Today (as I write this post) I have my second batch of banana nut bread in the oven. I do have to admit that I love the smell of baking goodies. Yesterday I spent all day wrapping Christmas presents and only have a few more to go today. Yes we have a very large family! To make things a little crazier this year, I stopped working for another employer and started working full time knitting through my Etsy.com store - Mom's Creative Creations . I have one gift to finish knitting before Christmas. I am staying positive it will happen. Our family got some great news the other night. I just found out that my son and his girlfriend got engaged. We will be planning a wedding very soon. In case I don't get the chance before Christmas, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. If your family celebrates a different holiday, please know I wish you a very Happy Holiday Season.

Chatabout.com

I have recently found a site that you can earn points by commenting on different areas. They also have an area where you can get "easy" points or take a daily poll to earn points. It really doesn't take too much time to earn enough points for such things as Amazon gift cards. You really should try this site! If you are interested in checking out Chatabout.com here is a link to join. http://chatabout.com/referral/u/53642

I have recently started writing on Bubblews.com to get paid for some of my rants. :) I wanted to give you some links to some of my writings so you can read them if interested. The Murdering of Children: Knitted Puppy Dog: Chocolate: These are just a few. Hope you enjoy reading them.

Quiet, Lazy Sunday

Today has been one of those days where I can't seem to get too interested in anything. I did manage to finish the last 10 pages of John Grisham's book "Sycamore Row". By the way this was a wonderful read. I highly recommend it. I have picked up and put down my knitting numerous times today. I can't seem to get into anything on the television...nothing interests me. It bothers me because I am fully aware that we only have so much time on this earth. I hate wasting days! HATE. I do feel like I have completely wasted a day that I will never get back. I also have to admit that the joints are so achy today. Even my fingers feel like they are twice the size as normal but they are not. Well, I need to go fix dinner and then try to force myself to knit some. I am test knitting a hat pattern for someone and really need to get through it. I am enjoying the pattern and hope to make some more. Yes, I am making it in very soft yarns so it can be a chemo cap for Baltimore-Chesapeake Head Huggers Group!
