I had a silly little accident the other day. I slipped on a piece of paper on my dining room floor. Yes, I’m a klutz but it didn’t help that I had my fuzzy, wuzzy, comfy socks on. My toes were freeeeezing so I had to pull out the socks-o-death. You see, I’ve had more than one incident whilst wearing them. Anyway, as I did a less-than-graceful split across the dining room, I twisted in such a manner that I pulled a muscle in my back. Grrrr.

Needless to say, I’ve been on the couch ALL weekend. I couldn’t just lie here so I asked my daughter to grab all of my needles, crochet hooks and yarn. And a couple hours later….ta-da!!!:

cozy neck warmer

...another neck warmer with vintage button...

floral lariat/necklace...

...can be worn several different ways

So, even though the laundry is not done, the house is not vacuumed, all is not lost because I got several little winter projects underway. Check out my etsy store soon as I will be listing some of these goodies!

I first learned about Cora here (a wonderfully creative, talented and giving blogger). Sadly, baby Cora went to heaven on February 8^th. Please keep all those that knew and loved Cora in your thoughts and prayers. I cannot stop thinking about this precious baby girl and her parents and feel so helpless…but…there are ways to help.

A playground is being built to honor her life. What can you do? You can make a donation by directly visiting http://corapaige.blogspot.com. You can also click the Pink Cora Playground button to the right and purchase one of the many beautiful hand-crafted items from etsy shop owners - who have banded together and are donating the profits from these special Cora Paige items towards helping build Cora’s playground.

This is such a wonderful way to honor an amazing little life. Please do what you can.
