Almost Finished!


Here's the last group of things I needed to catch the world up on. I'm experimenting with a few new purse styles and whether or not they would sell if I made them...

More items to post!







Here are two bracelets and a necklace I made. The green bracelet is for an auction at the school I used to work for. The robin's nest was an Easter present to myself.

OMG! Has it really been that long since I posted!









Here's all of the items I have recently crocheted.

Baby Star Afghan


In all of my crafty time, I have never crocheted anything larger than a scarf. Then I fell in love with pattern I found online, Beth's Little Star Afghan (http://www.angelfire.com/va3/heartfeltangels/littlestarafghan.html). It turned out better than I ever thought it would. I will probably keep my first one but I am already planning to make them for family and friends who are expecting. On the next one, I am going to crochet a row of white in between each different rainbow color.

Arggggggh! I'm home with the family going stir crazy!


Happy Snow Day from the Midwest!

Cell phone charm


I actually made this before Christmas but am just getting around to showing off a picture of it. A former coworker of mine contacted me and asked if I would make a cell phone charm for a relative of hers as a present. I had made one for her as a going away present when she left where we worked and she loved it. I really like how it turned out. Where you see the square soldered charm I have blocked the personal information but it had the person's name on the front and her phone number on the back.

Priceless!


My husband Greg left yesterday for London on business. He'll be gone a week, and today my son Gabe and I find ourselves taking it easy. While I was perusing around on my laptop, I found this picture that I had downloaded from Gabe's flash drive of a trip he took to the WWI museum here in Kansas City with my brother, David. Tanks and airplanes, guns and helmets usually bore me so I had not looked thoroughly through the pictures when I came upon this. Gabe says he must have been talking when my brother took the picture. His expression is priceless!

With the husband gone, I needed something to make me smile.
