A couple quilts I've made lately

The blue and pink one is a baby gift that I made in one day. It's made up of 6" squares and the squares are tied at the corners. Love this one!

The Blue, Yellow and Green quilt is my son's Froggy Blankey. It's a rail fence quilt and it works up really fast.

The Steggie Sweater in Progress

This the first knitting project I tackled. I've since finished a few other knitted projects (hat and scarf for Sam, 3 or 4 baby hats, a couple pairs of booties, among others) and this project took a back burner. I had the back and 2 fronts done and stopped because the sleeves were beyond my comprehension at the time. I figured out the sleeve pattern and now I've started it up again! First Picture is whatthe sweater willlook like. Second picture is the beginning of the 1st sleeve amd the last picture is the fronts and back!

Peasent Dress


While looking at gorg peasent dresses for my princess I stumbled upon a blog that mentioned a specific pattern. Low and behold, hidden in my stash is this pattern! Of course it was a 1/2 - 2 pattern so I had to resize it with a pencil and a roll of paper. This was the end result!!!

Craftiness at an All Time low!

I have been woefully uncrafty as of late. Busy with kids, and the unexpected death of my beautiful Grandfather has kept me feeling uncrafty. I do have a couple of projects on the go, a shaggy quilt for my son (bigger project then I first thought!!), a fancy dress for my daughter, a generator cover for my hubby, but it's all at a stand still. I need to work up my oomph for crafting! Hopefully I'll get something new done to show you.

On another note. I completed a knitting project just before Christmas!! It's a Kitty Helmet (like a balaklava with ears) for my son and if I could find it I'd get a picture of it to show you. That's all for now!! BYEEEE!

Hello!!!!!

You crafty internet people!

only 3 days until Santa Day and I am set to jet! Presents bought (check), Baking Done (check), Wrapping of said presents (*clears throat*). I'll admit, I have yet to wrap the presents. I don't like wrapping the presents. I prefer to buy them and distribute them but wrapping them??!!?? UGH!!!!

Oh well, I have 2 more nights to wrap them. I still have plenty of time!

Insert Shrug Here

I have been not particularily Crafty as of late. It's been a busy stream of kids, school, shopping and travel so no time for excessive sitting and Crocheting. I did make 7 sewn hats in the last week and helped my MIL draw out the pattern for said hats and for mittens as well. There are cute little ear flapesk hats that my kids are going nuts over!! So I made one for each kid (well 2 for the boy child) and the others will be included in the gifts for my nephews and other small children in my life.

Sorry no picture yet!
