I have been the biggest Blog slack....I'm terrible! My life is so different these days. I've been at my parents house getting ready for the holidays. I made 42 sets of hand warmers....they took a long while but I really like how they turned out! Hopefully our dinner guests will enjoy them too.
I had some left over feed corn so I made my big fat cat an extra EXTRA large pillow size one for her cat house out on the back porch. She loves it! I pop it in the microwave for 2 1/2 mins a few times a day and she's in heaven : )
U hope everyone's having a great holiday season thus far! Only a few more days!

Shabby Miniatures

Golly you can tell I'm really not into blogging lately...not becasue I don't want to but my computer died again! Finally had to get a new one.
Anyway, been busy on Etsy and adding new things like this cute little confectionery cabinet full of shabby goodness!

Have a lovely day everyone!

I'm Back - and with a NAME change!

Hello All!
Yes you could say I really did fall off the face of the planet but I'm back. In all honesty I was sparing all of you from my up and down roller coaster of a failing marriage. I'm finally ready to go public with the news.....but I'll still spare you from the details. Just know that I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of blogging, creating and finding happiness again
I changed my Etsy shop name from GigiMinor to PinksAndNeedles which feels really good. My ex-husband called me Gigi and my married name was Minor so I'm going back to my God Given name of Annie Kight. I don't expect any of you to keep it straight but I thought I should at least make the effort to turn a fresh leaf so to speak.
Thank you to all of my friends and family that have seen me through this very intense past year. I don't know how I would've survived any of it without the late night phone calls and mid day rants to boot.
I'm still picking up the pieces and getting my head straight but I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. 
I'm really looking forward to reconnecting with all of you. If anyone is going through a hard time right now please feel free to leave a comment and let it all out! I'm here to listen.

Peace,
Annie
