Baby Bottle Cozies

The picture didn't turn out great, but these are the baby bottle cozies I've been working on to sell in the shop. Again, it's a pattern I made up, using Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn. I crocheted around a stretchy hair band for the neck.

Little Bags for Mothers Day

I made these little bags to put Mary & Nicole's gifts in for Mother's Day. I made up the pattern and used Lily Sugar N Cream cotton yarn.

Earrings

I made these two pairs of earrings this weekend. I made up the blue pattern myself. The pink one I found here.

More Bookmarks

Here are more bookmarks I have made recently, using this book: Three Dozen and One Bookmarks. I use the scanner for these photos instead of a camera because I just like the effect.

Bookmark

This was my own invention - not an original design, I know, but I didn't use a pattern. I did up two plastic canvas crosses and whip stitched them together, so that the back looks neater. It's a little too thick for a bookmark, but there you go. I used Lion Brand Homespun yarn, which is nice and bulky, but soft.

Embroidered Birthday Card

This is my latest brainwave. I have been embroidering birthday cards. It seems a little bit silly, since most people just throw them out, but I'm hoping maybe they will use them for book marks or something. :)

3 Pink Bookmarks

More bookmarks! Yay! I got the patterns at FreePatterns.com except for the pink heart, which is a pattern I've made a lot in various versions. I used size 10 cotton thread. :)

"Beret"

This was supposed to be a winter beret, that I made for a friend of mine. I swear I followed the pattern, bought the right weight of yarn, etc etc. But it turned out not to be a beret! That's what I get for not doing a swatch first. I hate doing swatches. :)

My friend likes the hat anyway, so I am going to send it to her the way it is. She's in Washington DC and wanted something warm and colorful, so at least it fulfills those requirements!

I got the pattern here. The yarn is Lion Brand Homespun, which is a chunky yarn that I love and have been using a lot. It comes in lots of colors. This color is Fiesta!

Birthday/Thank You Bookmarks

Making more bookmarks these days...

Hat, Mittens, Scarf for Kari

This is my model, Skye, wearing the scarf, hat & mittens I made for my sister, Kari. The yarn really changes more gradually than this picture makes it look in the scarf...
