More Unfinished Projects

I have had a special treat this week, my mother has been watching my 3 youngest children.  That is why I have been able to finish some projects.  During this week, I have also made four of these knitted dishcloths.  I gave two away as gifts to friends and the two below, are for my mom.  She likes them.

This is a Barbie Sleepover set I made for my young daughter.  

I am not finished with the sleeping bag yet because if requires some

sewing.  I only used Ken below because he was the only one that 

was adequately dressed.  My youngest daughter likes to take 

all the clothes off of Barbie.  Who knows why?????

My son's new hobby/venture!!! and the holly wreath

 Fresh Paracord Designs 

This is my sons new business making bracelets and keychains out of paracord.

If you are interested in one please email me and I will let you know the cost.

Here are a few examples of some bracelets he has made.

The Holly wreath.  This is another unfinished project that is finished.  YEAH!!!

I like to decorate my home with things I have made.

It is beautiful!!!

(at least I think so...)

Unfinished Projects - DONE!!

Two Completed Projects

I am in the process of finishing unfinished projects that I have strewn about my bedroom.  I have no extra rooms in my home for a craft room, so my bedroom has become office, craft room, family room at night and lastly bedroom.  I am getting old and all my projects are getting on my nerves.  I want a clean room and only one or two projects going at a time.  Is this possible????

I have been trying to stay on target and work on one project and see it to completion.  It is working a little.  I have two projects that I have finished. YEAH!!!!

I made both of these projects for my daughter.  I am not sure if she likes them at all, but I wanted to make them for her.

 

Craft Fair and Curtains

Another weekend Craft Fair.  It has been a busy month for me and I am done with craft fairs for a while.

This craft fair was held at Northeast Christian Church in Lexington, KY.

Maybe I can participate next year.  Now to get busy making.....

I also made some curtains for a friend of mine's daughter.

It was a huge job, but they turned out so nicely.

Happy Crafting to you!!!!

My Fun Weekend

Fun and Relaxing Weekend

This weekend I was invited by a friend to attend a craft fair.  I went with her and we had a nice time.  The traffic for the fair was not what I was expecting.  I made enough to replace my fee.  Below are pictures of my table at the craft fair.  The fair was called the Kirksville Community Center Craft Fair.  It was an old school that is no longer used that has been turned into a community center.  

 

 I made this lovely little pillow for my mother.

I purchased this kit at my LYS. 

This kit is produced by Pine Mountain Designs 

and is called Thoughts of Mom

 It came with the pre-made pillow

and then you stitch the inside part and insert it.

The pillow came out quite well I think.

A wonderful Mother's Day gift for a wonderful person.

I am still in the process of making these items.

My daughter likes Barbie dolls and I like to make items for her Barbie.

I have done all the knitting required, but now I need to do the

sewing part.  I need a zipper to make the sleeping bag and buttons

to sew up the small pillows.  So fun...

February - March 2012 update

Hello to all!!!  I have made or finished a few things lately, but just cannot seem to find the time to post.
I finally finished my 3rd Santa Pillow.  I am not sure of its future yet.  Would you like to buy it?
I might try to sell it or keep it for one of my children. 

Below is my recognition of St. Patrick's Day.  I made it into a necklace and then forgot to 

take a picture of me wearing it.  I want to make another on like Marilee Rockley did

on her site with beads.  Maybe soon.....

This is a free pattern.

 

 Another tatted bookmark I made from Lisbeth thread.

I did not design it.  It came out of the book Tatting Doilies & Edgings 

edited by Rita Weiss on page 23.

A doily for my daughter.  It ended up very UK looking.

Such a nice blue.  The pattern came out of a Decorative Crochet

Magazine and is called Small and Lovely on page 13.

This last project I have made lately is for Easter.

Small barrettes made into bunnies for little girls.

Such fun.  I bought one of these from someone

who had made one and then made some for myself.

 Happy Crafting to YOU!

Jewelry Pouches for My Daughter

I made these for some Christmas gifts last year.

My daughter wanted one so here I am finally getting around 

to making her one.

I had enough fabric so make several extra ones.

They are easy to make.

Enjoy the steps of making a jewelry pouch with my

pictures below.
