Totally obsessed with round crochet rugs. I want to make one for the nursery. I want a thick, sturdy one in white and gold (is there such a thing as gold yarn? I am so obsessed with metallics right now). The one in the pic below is from here and made of an alpaca blend yarn. Absolutely love it... except for the price! $153/skein? No thanks!
I'll definitely be making a trip to the yarn shop soon, and will let you know what I end up getting. Have to keep these hands busy during the husbands deployments!

Also wanted to quickly share a few new pieces of art with you. If you follow me and Instagram or Facebook, you may have already seen them.
I think there's something to be said for living in the moment and embracing your current reality even as you chase your dreams. I am one of those people who feels like they are never doing enough, so this little pieces was created to remind myself all these little moments add up.
This piece was created using techniques I learned in Alena Hennessy's course A Year of Painting. It was exciting to paint a person for once.
As always, my art really reflects messages I need to tell myself. Feeling inferior? Just take a look at this piece and remember you are powerful.
I embraced some more collage type elements in this piece. Absolutely obsessed with the background - it makes me happy every time I look at it. The large black flower stamps are hand carved.
Created this piece while thinking of the military life we live. I am not always gracious about the sacrifices we have to make, but in the end home really is just wherever we are together.
If you are interested in purchasing any of these pieces, please email me at TheWildestDandelion@gmail.com. They are not currently listed on etsy.
Thanks for stopping by!
