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...

Pumpkin

A pumpkin I made for Halloween. There is a smaller one that looks exactly like this one. Only smaller. :)

Here is the pattern.

These hats were mostly made by me, except for the very cute pumpkin hat and the equally cute little pillbox hat in the back. All hats are for sale at Little Bird!

This is where I got the pattern.
