Busy Girl

I am busy knitting and crocheting....redoing old pieces with new photos. Took a class and am really happy with my newest batch of pics. I am also starting my fall collection which is going to have a lot of new pieces in it. So excited.

Here is a sneak peak. I just posted this new piece. Wasn't so sure about it in cranberry....but am pleased with the finish. To see The Banff Cowl pop by the shop for a visit. www.grizzlie.etsy.com

Spring is in the air

Spring is in the air. The old, tired snow is melting. The birds are singing and so happy to be back. Cleaning is getting done, heavy winter coats are being put away. Windows are being opened, letting cool breezes flutter from room to room. Everything feels hopeful again.

Organizing my little one's work space

Besides knitting.....I love to organize! Before children I was the type of gal who labeled my label maker. But three kids later...I had to let go. (Just a tad). Recently I reorganized a lot of my house and boy is it working! I thought I would share with my lovely readers.

Here is my little girl's work space:

This is tucked neatly in the corner of the kitchen. I purchased the table from Homesense a few years ago, along with the white, framed cork board. Now she can pin things that are important to her.

This bin is from Michaels. I labeled it homework caddy and it can be on the big table while the kids are doing work. It holds things like a calculator, scissors, pencils....

Here she is 'encouraged' to file her belongings in the slots. It is keeping her from 'piling' stuff on her table and having  trouble when she can't find something. She is an art and crafts mad woman, and this table looks like a hurricane past over it every night BUT it only takes us a few minutes to get everything back since everything has a home. Everything else should be in the garbage.  I house her arts and crafts supplies in a low down cupboard so she can get everything herself.


Thanks for looking!

Fall is coming......

I listed a few new pieces in my shop over the past few months. Today I spent a lot of time redoing my pictures.

I love nature as a back drop. Especially, since Grizzlie is so rustic.

On tomorrow's to-list....Grizzlie tags. I have my stamps, tags and string all ready:)

The Maple

Even though the kiddos went to school in their shorts, tomorrow we will wake up to a fall chill and frost.....soon the leaves will change.....and again we will be amazed.

The Maple.....see it in my shop :) www.grizzlie.etsy.com

Playing With Colour

Getting a new colour chart together.....these are some of my favourites....to knit with and to wear.

There is no sight more exciting.....a pile of thick yarn in so many colours. Endless possibilities.

I love my new colour chart. Which is your favourite colour?????

Busy knitting my first fall/winter collection.  Come and visit www.grizzlie.etsy.com to see this piece. Stay warm...stay cozy....

Hats...and more hats....

I have been busy knitting slouch hats lately....

Hoping these will sell and keep people's heads warm for the upcoming season.

Happy Wednesday

New Shop GrizzliePatterns!

I have decided to split my knits and patterns into two shops. GrizzliePatterns opened up on Friday. Now you can find all my knit patterns in one place. www.grizzliepatterns.etsy.com

Happy Knitting!

Good-Bye Summer

As summer comes to an end we wonder where it went. Ours started rather late this year and we had quite a few chilly days mixed in with the sun. And boy did we have rain. I love the change of seasons. Next up fall. My favourite. A feast for the senses......

Grizzlie will be going through some changes also. I am going back to my original look. Woman's clothes and accessories. I am taking off my baby things for the time being. Taking my love of design to the next level. Not sure what I will do about my patterns....we will see.

This is a new piece I knit out of a lovely recycled cotton in a sandy beige. I am thrilled how it turned out as it is my first piece like this....

The New Brunswick Scarf

This is my new yummy pumpkin orange scarf. It is so big and thick. I just love it.

I am trying to add more colour to my natural shop. I think this is my new fav.

A Knitted Garland

I have always wanted to knit a Garland or Bunting of some kind. I fished out my cotton and knit one for over the fire place. The knitted squares are actually a pattern. I adapted it from one of my favourite baby blanket patterns I got a long time ago. The cord is just two rows of crochet. I love how it looks over the fire place, but I think it may look too wintery for this time of year.

If you would like the pattern, just let me know and I will do a post for you.
