More Christmas Trees

Felted Christmas Trees for my mom's Christmas decorating.

A Felted Christmas tree I made last Oct.

 Two more trees ready to be felted.
I will make a few more since I have leftover
yarn.  Hopefully, I will at least be able to 
make two.  The pattern for these knitted trees 
can be found in the 
Interweave Knit Gifts Holiday 2011. 
The before size of the medium tree is 16 in. tall 
and the small tree is 12 in.  I will post the size after
I felt also.  There is a large size, but that one is 
completely done and packed away in my mom's
Christmas decorations.

 A finished pillow I made for my youngest darling daughter.
I thought it turned out quite cute.
I did not make it "perfect" seeing as that it will
probably only last a few years before it is 
ready for the trash.

 This photo showcases a small blanket that I 
made to match  the pillow.
The pattern for this pillow can be found at All People Quilt.
It is called a Hour Glass Pillow.

Crochet Shawl

Finally finished!!!  YEAH!!! 
I started this about 3 months ago and it worked up quickly.
I thought to myself,  this will be done in no time....
Then I set it down and did not pick it up for a couple of weeks.
Anyway,  I am trying hard to finish the projects I have begun.
 This pattern is from Family Circle Easy Crochet Magazine Fall/Winter 2005.
The name of the pattern is Poncho and Cloche pattern #1.
Would this item be worthy to enter into a contest?
What are your thoughts/ides?





These are the makings of a pillow for darling daughter #2.
She like kitties and we found this cute fabric.  Then I went searching for
a simple pattern.  I found it on all people quilt.  I will add the link later.


This is a blackwork cat that I finished in January.
I made it for my daughter mentioned above.
I thought about entering it into the KY State Fair so I had to finish it
and this is how it turned out.  Do you think it is contest worthy?


The below hobby horse is for a baby gift to a friend.
As you can see, I am still in the process of working on the cording.
I found a great blog that explains how to finish ornaments like this.
Pinwheel Ponders.  It is great!!


Finally completely finished!!!

Happy stitching or crafting!!!!
