Little Things

Here are various little things I have made for people over the last few weeks:


This is a kitty I made for my great-niece Crystal for her 6th birthday.

























This is a bookmark I made for my sister in law Susan. I like to make these little things to send in birthday cards.



























These are two bracelets I made for my daughter-in-law Nicole for her birthday. The first one is crocheted with popcorn stitches, using gold and silver metallic crochet threads. The second one is also crocheted using stretchy nylon beading filament and multicolored glass seed beads. Both were fun and different.

Mom's Sewing Machine

This is my mom's sewing machine that I brought home from Ohio with me. The cabinet is probably about 60 years old. She replaced the sewing machine maybe about 15 years ago. Here's hoping that some of mom's creative juices will rub off on me. :)



























The old girl still has a lot of stitches left in her!
