Ahhh we made it to Saturday!

Happy Saturday everyone! I am a busy bee today, after sleeping in and watching a movie, its time to get busy! (This is when Olivia Newton John comes skipping in with her 80's leotard and sweatbands..Let's get physical, physical!!!)



I'm so sorry, but I had to do that! Wish me luck, I have a few crochet orders I must finish today, but they are going to some AMAZING people! I'm finishing up headbands, hats and flowers. I am also trying to make some hats for a very dear friend who works with a bunch of roughnecks. He is always cold at work and needs a hat, but doesn't want to look "gay" in a crochet hat! I don't care who you are, you will always look good in a hat. And I can make you look good in one of my hats! I think for fun, I'll put a huge rainbow flower on his, whattya think?


Maybe I should change my name to busy as a bee!!! bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..






Til next time, Bees Buzzin!

Is it a cell phone holder... or a business card holder?
Either one!! I used it for a while as a cell phone holder, but now using it to hold my business cards! I love it, they are cheap and easy to make! Can change color, size and buttons...

gettin' out there...

just a cute pink hat I made for a customer, I love the flower in front with funky buttons! yellow headband is great to wear on a bad hair day and to keep your ears warm. Very popular! I can make it with or without a flower, or can make flower a clip on to use in other ways!
Doo and I were hammin' it up in the bathroom (has the best light!) The brown brimmed hat is so fun and easy to make! I can make in all sorts of color combos! Pattern was created by Megan published courtesy of her etsy shop "add some stitches"

I got my new business cards in the mail yesterday, I'm very excited! I have a little business card holder I crocheted and I want to put it to good use! I visited with a friend today in Newberg at a little coffee shop called Coffee Cottage. It is so cute and cozy. I have never been there before and so glad I went! I am not drinking coffee anymore and I got a mexican hot chocolate. IT was AMAZING! I didn't even miss my coffee! I wore my cute brown hat that I, yes, crocheted and got a lot of comments on it. I was able to talk about my business and give out a card. I invited the barista to check out my blog and keep in contact. I just love meeting people and sharing my work with them. It makes me happy when I can bring a little sunshine into peoples lives. And if my little stitches do that, so be it. Please enjoy more pics of my work and some new things I am trying out. Again, anything you see is for sale and just drop me an email and we can get talking on price, color size and style! xoxo aimee

Taking a road less traveled...
















I decided to start a blog to preview and talk about my new lil' business I am starting up on my own. I love to create things and with recent changes in my life, going on disability for some health issues and not bringing in enough money to support my lil' family, I decided to incorporate what I love to do and try to bring in some money doing it, and with that, lazy as a daisy design was born. My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was 9 years old and I have loved it ever since. Starting with my first project was a baby blanket made of granny squares for my new baby brother or sister. Having no idea that baby was to be a boy, he received a multi colored blankie with pinks, blues, greens and yellow. Safe for any newborn to be seen in...Fast forward 20 years later and I still get help from my grandma and hope to pass on that little piece of love she gave me so long ago. I love my grandma nonnie so much and hope she is proud of me and my little creations.

I have since taught my daughter daisy (Doo) who is 10, to crochet and has become obsessed with making amigurumi style dolls. What the heck is amigurumi you ask? It is translated as, "japanese crochet dolls". Doo has created several animals in the last couple weeks. A very curious octopus, a square dude called, "dude", a petite tiger and in the making of a wiener dog, named Mr. Wienie. I hope you enjoy my blog, my photos, and a little snippet of my life. Please offer your advice, stories, memories and joy as we settle on a road less traveled..
