Another Power Outage

Hey All~
As I sit here powering up my little battery operated lamp I am trying to figure out the perfect place to put it so I can continue to knit the blanket I am working on for a friend. There is so much stuff I want to do in the next few months for charity (with my groups) it makes me want to start lots of projects all at once. Here's my little bird Maxine helping me with the blanket

Hi

Hello to all my friends and followers here. Sure has been a while!! I said that the last time too eh?!!? It has been a real busy and rough time for me the last year but it is getting better. I am hoping to get back into all my favorite activities. So far I am, but slowly. I am working on a hat for Save the Children's Warm-Up America campaign to help babies live. I am also catching up on my craft group emails. I am reading a bunch lately also. Spent several weeks in va bch this summer as well. I will post a pic of my hat when it is done. Keep up the crafting....

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....

Wow it's been a while!

So I hope all is well in y'alls corner of the world. These booties are for the July AC4C project and going to Oz (Australia LOL) I am making a lap rug (lapghan) and a baby hat to go also. I am almost finished with the lap rug (lapghan) so I will add that picture as soon as I finish it. I have been pretty busy lately with all kinds of regular life stuff but it should slow down here soon. I have a class starting in September that will last til end of October/beginning November. That will be great. I am also going to Virginia Beach for two and half or three weeks at the end of August until the beginning of September. So busy there but will slow down after that hopefully. Well, more pics as I get more items done. Take care....

Here is another lampshade cover for my mother. She had another lamp she needed to have a matching cover for in case she moved the lamp to the living room where the other two are. That makes 3 for her-guess she likes them LOL.

Finished Raglan Sweater YEAH!

Finally finished the Raglan Sweater today. I believe it is going to fit a toddler maybe 12 months to 2 years depending on child size. It did turn out good for my first involved sweater and not just a garter stitch one like in an earlier post. Can't stay on puter long BIG storm coming through. Hope all is well in y'alls corner of the world.

Mom's Crochet Topper

I finally finished the crochet topper my mother wanted to take on her cruise. I made it in homespun even though it called for another type of yarn because my mother liked these colors. I got the free pattern sheet from a Michaels. It worked up fairly easy for my first actual adult wearable item. I wished the pictures turned out better but these are the best ones that I got. I probably should have had a model for this one eh? LOL....

Half Square Kerchiefs

Well, these are the kerchiefs I made for my nieces with different views on my lovely model. They made up pretty easy and I think they are going to love them. I got the pattern free at:

My first ever baby booties

AWWWW! Aren't these just the cutest? These are my first ever pair of booties or anything that resembles socks, booties, slippers-anything. This pattern is free on Bev's Country Cottage website (link at bottom of my blog) called Bev's stay on knit booties for newborns. They are knitted and were so easy to make. I wish I had tried them before. I had looked at many patterns for knitting/crocheting baby booties but this was the one that caught my eye. Love them....
Here is a front view of the same booties. I sure think they are cute....Not a bad job for my first pair. I sure hope that this turns into more of a sock/slipper/booties making effort on my part. So cute....
