Too much to do, too little time.

I really was excited about this Christmas. I was going to make all my cards by hand. I was going to crochet gifts for my family instead of buying them. I was going to make and stock all kinds of adorable somethings for my business.

Um, not so much. What I didn't take into account was the fact that I am a busy mom of six children, I am a provider to two daycare children, and am married to a just-as-busy husband!

So, the gifts will not be crocheted. The cards will be store bought (though I am definitely writing in each one personally -- that's the plan, anyway!), and the fabulous items stocked will just have to be spread out over the coming year.

As my youngest grows (she's 15 months now)older, I remember anew that toddlers don't like it when they want to play and mommy wants to craft! So, I'll be stocking a few things here and there, but until Christmas is over, I'll be a little scarce, just enjoying my family, and the season.

Merry Christmas, and I hope to have some fun things newly stocked in January! See you then!

Bella Tesori

I am proud to announce that as of Tuesday, December 8th, Gillyweeds will be a part of Bella Tesori Congo on Hyenacart!

There I will be stocking crocheted items, and dyed yarns. I am very excited! I have admired this congo for a while now, and am very happy to be a part of it!

For my new stocking, I have a couple of newborn pairs of longies finished.

I love these sock monkey longies. I have been wanting to create something along these lines, but wanted to try them on a smaller scale to start. I hope these go to a good home!


And another pair, made from some beautiful Blue Faced Leicester I got in a swap.



Join us every Tuesday for new items, and a new themed stocking every month!
