National Craft Month

Hey crafters, how are you enjoying this years craft month? What are you working on? I have been making a crochet hat on and off since January. I saw this beginner tutorial with Melanie K. Ham on YouTube, Click Here to see the video. I hope to finish it this month. It's been great to try a different craft and learn to use other skills. Fingers crossed my hat will at least be wearable when I am done! LOL!


If you aren't a crafter, give it a try! There  are all sorts of relaxing arts and crafts to explore out there. I have even seen craft kits on Amazon which is perfect for a beginner.

With all the stress going on in this world right now, using your hands in a fun and distracting activity is a great way to cope.

So get to crocheting, papercrafting, sewing, baking, painting or whatever floats your boat.Try something new. You might be happily surprised with what you discover! Thanks for stopping by!

    That hat is your colour, Kelly. Bet it will look great on you when you are done. Hope you share a photo. My mother knitted and crocheted and embroidered, but sadly I never picked up the skill. Good for you going out and learning new ways to use your creativity!

    The only craft I am working on this month is scrapbooking, but I am getting lots of pages finished.

      Who knows, you may get into crocheting at some point, Dee. I had know plans to get into last year. All the ladies were all into it and I was not interested. Then, the fun bug hit me and it was a nice option for me.

      Thanks Lisa for stopping by! I love the color too. I went over the directions again and my dimensions were all off. So, I took it apart and started again. Still working on it and can't wait to finish it. :)

Relaunch of Our Business

Kelly & Ron Roberts Today, Ron and I are announcing the relaunch of our K. Simone Designs business. For those of you that are new to our work and site, click   ABOUT US   for more information.   In short, we started our business selling my handmade greeting cards in 2011. We sold and donated lots of cards and enjoyed bringing smiles to our customer's faces. In 2019, we took a long break.

Art has been a wonderful outlet and joy for me and I have loved encouraging others with these creations.  So now K. Simone Designs will focus on our Inspired Art business.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...
