Latest projects

I know...I haven't posted in a while.  I have been extremely busy though.  Here are some pics of some of the things I have been working on.

Learning how to make rings with wire and beads.  Here's one of them.

Gardening - Easter lillies opened right around Easter.  Kumquats were full.  Finally got pears this year and was able to share with family.  Post pics at a later date.

Front and back of a can kozzie that was embroidered.

 My appliqued fleur-de-lis wall hanging.  This was an interesting piece to do.

Travel towels for the hubby and me for our vehicles.  They open up into full bath-sized towels.

A set of three "hot hat" lid covers for the lids of pots when hot on stove.  They can be hung on wall and taken down when needed.

The following is some of the jewelry I have been working on.

 And some of the sewing projects I have been working on.

Small zippered bag to keep jewelry in.

Embroidered purse with matching wallet.

Went to PPCC yesterday for crocheting classes with my senior ladies. Ms. Alexis has been extremely busy. Look at what she's been working on.

Lost Track of Time - Again!!!

Good morning, people.  I see just about three months have passed since I last posted -- AGAIN.  I'm sorry for the lapse, but I have been working on soooooo many things that I have not had time to take pictures or do videos.  Hopefully, this year, I'll do better (she says tongue-in-cheek).

Some jewelry, caps, shawls, and an embroidered, personalized baby blanket have all gotten by without pics.

Instead of taking individual pics, I have gathered some of the things I have completed and/or am working on and have done a video.

Check it out below.

Thanks for stopping...bye!!!!

Update on the Sweater!!!

Still working on Christmas presents for the joys in my life.  Finished sweater for granddaughter and a sweater and cap set for a lady who is expecting a grandchild.  Also, finished a prayer shawl for a neighbor undergoing surgery.  Made a couple of birthday cards, with bookmarks - one a crochet cross and the other tatted. 

Still working on my sister's birthday present -- will post when done.

And, lastly, have been tatting - whew!!!

Here are three other videos that I posted earlier.  Hope you enjoy!!!

Hope you enjoy!!  Leave me any comments, should you have any.

Crochet Sweaters and Tatted Lace

Hi, guys!!!

Have been working on Christmas gifts and "just because" gifts. I am making crochet, knitted, beaded, and button bracelets for the granddaughters and daughters, and embroidered and knitted bracelets for the grandson, son, and nephew.  I am crocheting beanies, slouch beanies, and purses for the granddaughters and daughters.  And for the two youngest granddaughters, they are getting crochet sweaters.  You can see them in the video.

I have also begun to teach a crochet class at the Center, with my ladies.  Can't wait to let you see what they have been working on.

Almost forgot, I still have to complete about a dozen travel pillows as part of the Christmas packages.

Have a couple of birthday cards that still need to be made for the months of November and December and will be working on those this weekend.

I also began teaching myself to tat.  It has been an undertaking, but I am not giving up.  The tatted pieces are so beautiful and I thought it would be nice to make some myself.

Hope you enjoy the video!!!
