Oh Mr. Postman…..
This past few weeks I got some pretty cool things in the mail:) I just had to share!!!
I have been very blessed in this life with some really amazing friends. And lately in my journey through Etsy I have had the Opportunity to meet some extremely talented people who have fast become dear friends…
One of these fabulous people is Bonnie
She made me this beautiful “Robot Family” for me in a trade for my book Nikita’s Journey:)
So she was walking along the beach with her son talking about my book…and along that walk they picked up these two beautiful rocks shaped like angle wings. She said that she thought they belonged to me….and so she sent them to me:) Now so everyone knows these shape of rocks are really rare there and she also sent me a vial of the pebbles that are usually found there on that beach…So these are truly “Special” to me and it just makes my heart smile… like we were sent a sign from Mazzy…a truly special gift. Here is a pic of what she sent me…
Please visit her SHOP as she has so many wonderful creations that would make truly meaningful gifts for the upcoming Holidays:)
I then received this box from my friend Maria 
She knitted me two pairs of socks for my Mom and Dad and then she was so kind as to add a pattern, needles and a ball of yarn:) Such beautiful colors….made from Tofutsie Yarn
and the yarn itself is also made with “Chitin” so it’s naturally antibacterial:) I’m going to make her a beautiful bag to put all her knitting stuff in!
Then I got another package in the mail from my lovely Aunt Jean:) She sent me a CD from the Cherokee Nation and this cute collection of earrings!!! Check em out!!!!
And lastly I have an update on my Landfill Art project! I went to hang out with the girls in my art group last night and got the chance to do some work on my hubcap:) I got a lot of feedback and so here is where it is at today…
I hope you enjoy!!!
~Cheers~
Cozzy Gloves and Jingle Pups!!!
So this is what I knitted up for my best friend Crystal to keep her warm and cozy in upstate NY…they were a true joy to knit!!! 
Fingerless Gloves
If anyone is interested in having a pair of these knitted up to keep their own hands or hands of someone they love nice and warm this year just email me!!! I will also have these up on my Art Buy Us and Etsy sites in time for Valentines Day!!!! They will be priced at $25-$30 range and are all washable. I will add decorative details such as beads and hearts!!!! SO be on the lookout or contact me with any custom orders!!!!
I Made these cute little guys for Christmas and everyone really enjoyed being "Santa's Helpers"....by the end of Santa's Workshop we had quite a large litter!!!
If any of you non New Mexico residents didn’t get in on this litter (I had such limited time and quantity to go around that I did not get a chance to post till now) …don’t fret, just let me know and I can hook you up with the few that I had still un-stuffed from the ones we were not able to finish…whew!!! Everyone was so shocked at how unique each one turned out!!!
Because it was Christmas and the bum economy I let these pups go at $15….yikes, I know but it was such a good deal that they all were able to find homes for the new year!!! I have the few left to adopt out and ready to ring in this years countdown to Christmas!!! Just email me me with your requests!!!
Ok well I must go for now but will have the latest on my winter travels and upcoming events!!! I would love to hear back from you all!!!
XXOO,
Selina
