      Hello fellow friends!!  It has been quite a while since I last posted anything.  I am always working on something, but have a hard time taking pictures and posting.    My husband was out of state for the past 7 months with his job and that limited my time even more being a single parent.  As a new year resolution, I would like to finish some UFO's at my house and not start anything new.  I doubt I can do that, but I will try.  So here are some things that I have finished in the past months, weeks and days.  Happy Crafting to You!!!

Supplies

 The above supplies are for a gift for my mother.  This yarn will make at least 3 of the 

trees you see below.  Since I have made one, I only have 2 to go.  This is one of my 

UFO's lying around my house.

Knitted Christmas tree

This crocheted ball is one of my favorite things I have made in a long time.

I made three and tried to sell them at a craft fair, but sold none.

So, I decorated my house with them.  Isn't it lovely!!!

 A quick project for my kids.  I am using this big yarn so that it is working up quickly.

The yarn is Bernat Baby Blanket.

 my work in progress

This is a blackwork design I got out of the Just Cross Stitch magazine.

I changed the design slightly just because I like it better the way I did it.

The above project is a work in progress and below it is finished.

I am planning on finishing it myself and making an ornament out of

it for my youngest daughter.  She likes cats.

I think it will be a nice addition to her Christmas tree someday.

Hopefully, she will appreciate the fact that I made it for her

because I love her and that is how I can show my love for her.

Happy Crafting to You All.

p.s. - I will try to add the books I got the patterns out of 

as I can.  None of these are original designs from me.
