White Baby Afghan and Bunny

Afghan I made for Leslee's baby shower at her Dad's house.

I've used this pattern a lot. It's on the wrapper of the Pound of Love skein of yarn that I use. It's easy, fast and pretty, a good combination!

I got the bunny pattern off of another wrapper. This isn't the exact pattern but it's pretty similar.

Birthday Bookmark

Here's another one that I will use for a birthday card. Once again I used the scanner to take the picture. I like the black background, but the picture came out a little fuzzy. I'll try upping the resolution next time.































Pink Cross

I made this for a thank you present for my hair stylist Nancy. I also was experimenting with the picture. I actually took this on the scanner with the lid up. I was pretty happy with the way it came out - the pink stands out well with the black back ground.

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.
