I'm sharing a card that I made this morning for a granddaughter's friend.

Hope you enjoy.

Time

Time has a way of getting away from you.  This is my first post for the new year, and we are already in February.  Well, here goes.

I have been working a lot in wire, trying to hone this new skill.  I was able to complete this bracelet and earrings.  I love taking wire and ending with a piece.  Both pieces have been totally constructed from 20 gauge wire, including the findings.

I also completed a card for a very special neighbor.  For those interested in knowing what I used to complete this card, please see below.

To construct this card, in addition to the silver, lavender, and light purple papers, I also used:
Cricut Explore and the Art Philosophy (numbers) and Forever Young (hat) cartridges
Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots folder for the inside mat
Hero Arts' Operation Write Home stamp for the "Happy Birthday"
White Gelly Roll pen for letters on outside hat
Stickles silver and clear for the hat
Stamp N Stuff Embossing powder in silver and Darice Heat Tool for the "Happy Birthday".

Hope you enjoyed.

Crocheting - Bob Marley

It took me five weeks, but I finally finished the Bob Marley afghan I was working on for my son's birthday.  It turned out to be approximately 220 x 220.

I am extremely glad this one is finished.

As usual, feel free to leave any comments or thoughts.

Just Couldn't Wait for Christmas!!

I was supposed to do glass cutting boards for my daughters and sister for Christmas.  Unfortunately, I just could not wait for Christmas.

The white piece of paper on each cutting board is the cleaning instructions.  They were thrilled to get their "Christmas" presents.

Hope you enjoyed.

Completed Afghan from Video

Earlier, I posted a video of me crocheting.  I was working on an afghan for the 14th of September. Well, here is the completed afghan.  It took 10 days of crocheting, 2 days of embroidering the fleur-de-lis, and another 2 days to put it all together.

I was able to complete it the early morning of 9-14-15.

My hubby really loved his anniversary present.

Hope you enjoyed.

Finished Christmas Blanket

Earlier, I showed you pics of blocks that were being crocheted as a crochet along.  Here are all of the completed blocks.

And here are all of the blocks connected together for a throw.



Hope you enjoyed.

Embroidered Key FOBs

New love!!!  I have fallen deeply in love with embroidered key fobs; so much so, that I have made initialed key fobs for the entire family, and then some.  I think I did about 20 initialed fobs in all.  These are just a few that I was able to get in a picture.

This was the start of it all.

Did a Jeep fob to sort of match my son's Jeep.

Sister-in-law saw and wanted one for herself and her daughter.

Start of the Saints sensation.  Haven't added the snap yet.

Granddaughter loves dinosaurs, so had to make this one for her.

Tend to like the two-initialed ones with the football.

For the football season, thought I would do some footballs and the Saints.  Then thought I would add the fleur-de-lis.

Above, I did some more Saints and fleur-de-lis in a deeper gold color.

Below are the latest two off the machine.  I like the hurricane with Katrina and the year of its occurrence.  The pistol was one I thought I'd try. Not sure about that one yet.

Hope you enjoyed.  Don't forget to leave your comments and let me know what you would like to see.
