A Sea of Alpacas

The sweet alpacas have returned to the pasture that I often drive by.

The field no longer looks empty. Instead it's quite full.

Full of grace and beauty.

Full of poetry and motion.

They're like a song.

Soft and graceful.

And of perfect harmony.

I can't tell you how much their presence warms my heart.

P.S. Hubby took these pictures for me as I've been feeling a bit under the weather. xoxo

Tea Rose Home Link Party No. 6!

Welcome back to the Wednesday at Tea Rose Home link party! I sure enjoy visiting each one of your blogs and seeing all the projects everyone has been working on! I just have a difficult time leaving comments and for that, I am sorry!... my time on the computer is limited each day, I hope you will understand.

I am not sure if I should keep doing the link party or not, I am still trying to decide. There are so many of them out there, and I am not sure if my readers are interested. Please let me know what you think, your opinions matter!

I am still taking it easy, but I have something I would love to share with you today.
Ta-da!


The picture of yo-yos. I meant to do a post about this a while ago, and I never had a chance. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you would know that I have a hard time throwing away scraps. If it is my favorite fabric, I would have an even HARDER time doing so. Usually, they end up in the scrap basket, but if I feel like it, I use them for making yo-yos or making grandmother flower garden peices. These are a great way to use scraps, and to spend time at the martial arts studio or the car pool lane at shcool.

I have a few ideas about what I am going to do with those yo-yos. I can't wait to start on it! I will share what I came up with when I am done.

Well it is your turn to share what you have been up to! The rules are the same as always...

1. Please post something YOU made. It doesn't matter if it is crochet, quilt, clothing, anything would be fine. I want to see it! If you use someone's idea or patterns please give them the rightful credit.


2. Link to your specific post, that way it is easier for everybody to find and read it.

3. Please grab the "Tea Rose Home" grab button, and link back from your post. If you can mention the party in your post or place the button on your side bar, that would be great! I want more people to have a chance to come and show off their creation.

Hope to see many of you here, have fun!

New Hair Accessories

Thank you all for leaving comments on the "What made you happy lately" post. I really enjoyed reading them. Your comments made me happy! I actually needed them last week.

Two days after my husband got back from Norway, my body decided to crash. I started having fevers (it lasted for four days, so I had to cancel the procedure I was scheduled for), I had side effects from the medicine I was taking for that, so I started taking different medicine. Since then, I have developed massive headaches... I still did things around the house, but it was a rough week for me.

However, that didn't stop me from sewing and crafting. I didn't do anything major, but I was making some new hair clips and brooches. I will share some of them...

This is one of my favorites. On the back, it has a hair clip and pin. I love things that have multiple uses!


I made this for my little girl, who is going to start kindergarden this fall. I thought, it would look nice with her uniform. Guess where I got this ribbon from... It was a handle on a paper bag from GAP. I loved the color combination so much that I had to use it for something.


I was playing with this ribbon, and came up with this. Totally random.


This is one of my favorites; I love how the flowers look so round and full!


The last one, that I LOVE... is a little different than my usual color scheme. Don't you think these colors are so yummy?


I also, started working on a tutorial, If you liked the Ruffle shirt tutorial, you might like this one as well... hopefully, I can share it with you all at the end of this week.

I am planning to do a link party this Wednesday! So, make sure to come back and link up. It will be fun!
