WOW-it sure has been a long time

Hello to all my blog readers!
I have been so busy through the holidays and I went back to school so my crafting has suffered a bit. I have made 2 pair of baby booties, 6 washcloths, 1 pot holder and 1 knit hat. I am working on a crochet reggae hat and another knit hat for a friend of my husband. School is going well just seem to be never ending homework. I will have pictures of my hats as soon as I am done with them. I am going to also make some dish scrubbies with my mom or at least attempt them. It should be easy enough for me and then I can show her. I joined bev's charity challenge and have made a goal of 100 items for this year. So far I have 10, I better get moving. I had to leave my AC4C craft group due to not enough time to keep up with emails, projects and postage to mail those projects. I did find a charity close to home that I can donate to through that group so I will still be doing crafts for charity purposes. Do you ever wonder why crafting seems to take a back seat when you want it in the front? Until next time....

What I have been up to lately....




Well, I have been so busy lately I almost forgot I had a blog....I started going back to school and also a part time job which of course I am not used to doing so I am exhausted much of the time. But enough about that....Here are some pics of what I have done lately....
The tube socks turned out great. They are knitted and I loved them. The grafting part was a little tough for me but I will learn it. I tried a new pattern for a 7" square for AC4C and it turned out pretty good also-it is crochet. I made this miniature wreath for Ships Projects for the Ornament "drive" they are doing to send overseas. I am going to try to make a neck gaiter to go along with this ornament. The final picture is of my first adult slipper ever. My daughter decided she wanted a pair of slippers since I was making all these baby booties so I tried my hand at making one. I don't have the match done yet but am working on it. I made a mistake on this one so unless I make the same mistake on the second one they won't match so I will be making a third haha. I will post when that is taken care of. I am in the process of making a baby blanket for my cousin's baby and finishing up these slippers for my daughter as well as of course homework and my job. I will post again soon....Sorry it has been so long....Hope all is well in y'alls corner of the world.

Not Exactly My Craft but a Great Gift Given to Me....


This was made for my by my aunt Judy and aunt Julie on the Bevins side of the family-long story-Isn't it gorgeous!?!

FInally adding pics of lap rug and hat for OZ

Here is the lap rug I finished for the elderly in Australia-the AC4C July project for Oz. Here I show the front and back in two of the pictures. One side has lines which you can see in the close up shot and the other two pictures are kinda folded in ways where you can see both sides together.

Here is the hat I finished to go with the booties for the AC4C July project for Oz. My lovely new baby doll is modeling the hat for me.

Hope everything is going great in Y'alls corner of the world. Now off to the AC4C August project....
