In a Blink of an Eye

And just like that, in a blink of an eye the Holidays are over. Our Christmas tree finally went down yesterday. I was kind of sad that the tree is gone and yet relieve that my living room is back to normal. Looking forward to December 2020.  I felt that I did not enjoy the tree enough this year, since we were in Maui for the Christmas Week. So you could say we had a Hawaiian Christmas :), it was windy and raining for the first 2 days but the rest of the week was sunny, we had to remind ourselves that it is December. We stayed in a property very close to the Kamaole Beach Sands in Kihei, I love that I could just walk to the beach. There was so much to do in Maui,  we did the Road to Hana,  Whale watching and Snorkeling, Luau, Sunrise at the Haleakala Summit, Lavender Farms and of course shopping. However if I ever visit Maui again, I will spend most of my time in the beach just relaxing. The sunrise and sunset we're amazing, I have 2 of my favorite pictures below that I personally took and of course I also included free knitting pattern with a Sunrise and Sunset design. Have you ever been to Hawaii? What is your favorite thing to do?


Below is the photo from the Sunrise at the Haleakala Summit!

Who loves Dragons?

Who loves Dragons?  Dragons are the most popular of the world's mythological creatures. They are a symbol of courage and strength, also of joy and happiness. Dragon tales are known in many cultures around the World. Do you believe they are real? I think they are cool, full of mystery, whether they are real or not. I do however have some pretty awesome Knitted Dragon pattern and they are Free  that I found on Ravelry , and of course Gift Ideas from the store. Check them out:)

Have a nice day!

Gift giving jewelry pouch

Happy Monday! Have you started your Christmas shopping or are you all done ? I'm  not quite done yet and still need to do some gift wrapping, I think that is the most fun part for me. I feel that gift wrapping a gift is a gift in itself, does that make sense. For me when I see a gift that's beautifully wrapped, it makes me feel special, it doesn't matter what is inside. Now, beautiful does not mean all glitters,expensive wrappers, big bows and all that jazz. It could be as simple as wrapped in a recycled craft paper. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I try to make my gifts festive and colorful. This year since I had opened an Online Store, I have bracelets and bangles, that I thought would be nice gift wrapped in a cute gift pouches, look up some online but could not find anything that I like so I decided  to knit one instead, since I have so much left over yarn from different projects. So I just started knitting, tried several times, below is what I came up with.Simple but looks pretty enough to put some jewelry and any goodies in it, the pouch can be used for something else by the recipient. I have included the pattern, so you can also make one or two.Also some gift giving ideas from my Online Store, I would greatly appreciate it if you visit and check it out.
