Hello world

What happens when life just takes off? It's been a crazy few months and I have been busying being a working single mom. 

With spring finally here it's time to let the hair down and get the motorcycle moving. She has a new heart ( battery ) installed in her!

There is nothing like two wheel therapy! I know there are people who don't understand why I ride, I ride because when I am on my bike it's just me and the wind. I feel freedom when I ride, like there are no chains of life. 

In the past month we have added a new member to our family. Her name is Dulce. She is a long haired dachshund. She is a real sweetheart, and feels like she has always been apart of our little family. She is a rescue dog and slowly we are teaching her how to be a dog.

Here she is  like one of the cats ;-)

Adele is growing up so fast, it's hard to believe that she is 6 1/2 years old.. I have asked her to stop growing, but she laughs at me. 

Our little skating adventure

and lastly on the creative side... I have been working with dragon scales.. yes that's right dragon scales!! I have taken up knitting and have been adding the scales to fingerless gloves. I am pretty happy with the outcome! My sister and her boyfriend will be selling my creations at the Calgary Comic Con in April.

I love wearing them, and the scales are so soft! I have been stopped a few times asking where can one get a pair, then explain I made them! I'm pretty proud of these.

So that is a very fast update of what has been going on.. I plan to do more blogging again, so much to share!!!

Inspired by Adele x 2

Most of you know that my website and blog and well pretty much everything that has to do with my life is for my mini me 'Adele' and that she is also my reason for learning to knit and crochet but what you don't know (and neither did I) is that a few thousand kilometers away from me is another lady who also has a daughter named Adele and is also her reason for learning...NUTS!! Tessa (she has the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/inspiredbyadele by Adele) her and I have been talking for some time and we have decided we are going to start work together:) The things we have in common are just ridiculous and We both truly believe this was meant to be:)

We now have an etsy store front http://www.etsy.com/shop/InspiredByAdele where we will be placing our combined efforts in crochet and knitting. You will be able to find photography props from newborns and up, as well as everyday wear. If you don't find what your looking for, drop us a line.. at info@inspiredbyadele.com

So come and join Tessa and I for our union and celebration, as well come and like our joint Facebook page!

Cheers

Happy New Year!

Wow I can't believe another year has passed..

The holidays was a much needed break from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 

I was able to play around with my crochet hooks as well as some knitting skills. My love for knitting hasn't changed, for those who don't know.. I'm being very sarcastic. I'm a crochet girl.. but I have also come to realise that there are just some projects that require two needles not one.  So I'm learning... please Don has asked me to make him a pair of socks! I love the challenge!

We also have a new member to the family.. Buttercup
