Rae of Light Photos

I'm 29 years old,and live in Joplin, MO. My work pays homage to subjects and life left unseen or forgotten. They demonstrate the passage of time and the beauty of unaltered minimalism. What started as a way to slow down and take pleasure in nature, swiftly turned into a perpetual zeal to capture the unobserved spirit of daily life.
While examining these pieces my aspiration is that individuals take a moment to look at the details and observe the charm and enchantment our world has to offer.
My images are a blend of archival digital photography and film. I have been pursuing the creation art through film for three years and am self-taught.
I am also the owner of the cutest Bassett hound out there. His name is Ralphie and he's still getting over the click of the camera.

Pink Pups Designs

My name is Pam, shop owner of Pink Pups Designs on Etsy. I started my shop in January 2011 after making banners for some friends, and got great feedback! I create most of my items in the evenings after I get home from my day job. I would love for Etsy to become a full time job for me. I started just making banners for anything - weddings, showers, birthdays, sporting events (like the Superbowl), holidays, etc. Now I am working on expanding the products I offer to include confetti, favor tags, centerpiece decor, cupcake wraps and toppers, and signs. I always welcome custom orders to change colors, designs, or wording on my products! I want my customers to be happy with the products they purchase from me.

Eskimo Pillows

Hello everyone, my name is Angie and I am a stay at home mom to two darling kids. Ava is 2 and Ethan is 4 months. Living in the Arizona desert I am always trying to figure out new ways to keep my family and I cool. My car seat coolers are the perfect answer to keep my little ones car seat buckles cool while we're out and about running errands. I am so happy I don't have to hear my little girl scream "HOT, HOT, HOT!" every time I put her in her car seat after spending a couple hours shopping.

I am a full time teacher, with a Masters degree in administration. So, for fun I craft. I have crafted as long as I can remember and my first love was paper and glue. I could be entertained for hours. As a teenager, I had a natural attraction to anything made of glass. It could be glassess, stem wear, sculpture, I had to reach out and touch it. My mother was constantly telling me to stop. So for my 21st birthday my parents gave me a single lesson on lampwork beads. Since then I have been reading books and teching myself to make glass beads and jelewary. My love has only grown for glass, I own three sets of dishes and at least 4 different styles of everyday drinking glasses. Which is way to much glassware for my husband and I. Currently, I have been inspired by bright yet simple designs and pok a dots! Being that I live in the South, I am beginning to play with ribbion in my jelwary designs too! My shop on etsy just opened, so I am new to the business world and am looking to network and promote!

2 needle fingerless gloves

This is an easy pattern that can be adapted according to your skill. I used worsted weight yarn and US 5 needles. You need just over 50gms of yarn. I also found that knitting them both at the same times ensures that they bout turn out the same ! Cast on 42 sts Knit 20 rows in k2 p2 rib on the 20th row place markers this way: k20 place marker, k2, place marker, k20 the 2 sts between the markers will form the increase for the thumb. Switch to stocking stitch (1 row K - right side- 1 row P - wrong side) Knit to marker, (20 sts) knit twice in the next stitch and in the one after that (the sts between the markers) K20 next row and all wrong side rows, Purl Knit 20 sts (you have reached the marker) knit twice in next stitch, K2 (till next marker) and K twice in the stitch before the marker K20 Continue this way, always increasing a stitch at each marker till you have 16sts between the markers. k 2 rows then with right side facing, k20, CO 16, k20 (shaping the thumb) nex

Hand Knitted Baby Cardigan Pattern

By Popular Demand! This is in one size only - takes for ever to figure out other sizes! For chest 10" - finished measurements about 14" Sleeve 3" You will need: 2 balls of a soft yarn that woks with 3.25mm (US 3 Needles) A button tension is 25sts and 50 rows for a 4x4 inch square If you are a beginner you may not understand this pattern - for more experienced knitters, I am sure you will see the 'pattern' of the decrease rows forming the raglan) I think this was originally a Debbie Bliss pattern i had written down somewhere so please forgive me if there are any mistakes - as i keep saying, I am hopeless at writing down patterns and i just had some notes on a scrap of paper! Back cast on 45 sts knit until back measures 3" ending with a wrong side row cast off 4 sts at beginning of next 2 rows leave remaining 37 sts on a spare needle sleeves (I knit both at the same time) cast on 29 sts K 7 rows increase:* k3, m1, k to last 4 sts m1, k3

An easy shawl pattern

I wrote this as i knitted it so if you find any mistakes let me know! The cast on sts are the top of the shawl, the cast off will be the bottom. This is a very basic pattern that you can then embellish - i used an eyelet pattern on random rows.(k2tog YO) The first stitches should not be slipped (as i usually do when knitting) but knitted. You can use any yarn you like with its corresponding needles. there really is no gauge You can also knit it to any size. Just remember that the final amount of stitches you have will be its width and the number of rows you knit will be the length. You can check that on a swatch and calculate accordingly Cast on 7 stitches. Row 1 (RS): k2, yo, k1, yo,place marker k1 place marker, yo, k1, yo, k2. Row 2 (WS): K2 , P to last 2 sts knit last 2 sts (and on all WS) Row 3 (RS): k2, yo, k to marker, YO, k1,move marker YO, k to last 2 stitches, YO, k2. and so on So to give a quick recap. The 1st 2 sts of every row are always K followed by YO Be
