Christmas Afghan

Christmas Afghan. Used Lion Brand Homespun Yarn in Christmas Colors. Here is the Free Pattern. I used the recommended colors, but I made it a little bigger by buying one more skein for each color (so 3 skeins per color instead of 2). You use a huge crochet hook - an S. It is a nice big thick afghan.

Cheryl's Bookmark

This is a book mark from the same book I have been using (see previous blog posts for link). This one I did for my sweet sister-in-law Cheryl's birthday.

Craft Room Before and After

My craft room was a hideous flat orange. This picture actually makes it look nicer than it really looked.

This is how it ended up after I painted. It looks much better. I've added a lot more shelving but haven't taken any new pictures yet. Will update soon.

Cross for a Friend of Bryce's

This is a cross bookmark I made for a friend of my nephew Bryce. It's in his new school colors.

Various Bookmarks

More book marks from my current favorite small project book, 3 Dozen and One Bookmarks. :) Going to use these to put in birthday cards.

Timmy's Tic Tac Toe

Made this plastic canvas tic tac toe board for my great-nephew Timmy. I just made up the pattern (it was pretty easy).

I put velcro on the backs of the markers.

Another bookmark

Another birthday present for a friend. From my current favorite small project book, 3 Dozen and One Bookmarks. :)

Book Mark for Theresa

Another bookmark. This one for our good friend Theresa.

Attempting Gloves

This is a picture of a pair of gloves a friend wants me to make for her daughter for Christmas. It's gloves that leave the finger and thumb tips open for texting.

This is what I have done so far. I am using a generic glove pattern and just leaving the tip of of the index finger and thumb off.

Using gray Caron Simply Soft.

Book Marks

I sent this daffodil bookmark to my friend, Patty, for her birthday. I used 3 Dozen and One Bookmarks and mercerized cotton thread.

Also made this bookmark for Loyd's brother, Scott. Also a birthday present, also using 3 Dozen and One Bookmarks:

Ok, well, this didn't make it into the envelope when the card got mailed. Oh well. :(
