Want some hat with your bow?

No Monday Crafting Crew this week. Everybody's out of town for Thanksgiving. Not me though. We like to stay close to home for Thanksgiving. The kids are done with sports for a while so I celebrated last night by staying home, watching T.V. and knitting. (I am a party animal!) Here's the result:

And worn by the recipient, Ashlynn...(how sweet is this?)

Name Signs

Today was all about color and polka dots and ribbon. So much fun! Finished up these name plaques today.


This is for a friend's new baby.



These two are a custom order for a set of twins (ordered from e-bay).


This is for a trade with another artist friend.


And this one is for my brand new niece!

Monday Crafting Crew

Here's what we did today. There is no stopping us with the Mod Podge! We began by painting the wood blocks black. Then added the paper background and letters. Then we had fun adding ribbon, buttons and bows, oh my! Now if we just had a Bedazzler, we could change the world! :-)

Cousin Socks

I made these socks for my daughter and two nieces. I've made the crocheted edge with thread and beads but never tried the crazy yarn. They crocheted up A LOT faster--3 pairs in one night. And they turned out really cute!

Haley's Hat

Got the JOY blocks done and mailed this morning. I love commissions, but it's also so nice when they are done.

Here's my latest knitting project. A hat for my niece Haley. Got the pattern in  Itty-Bitty Hats by Susan B. Anderson which I highly recommend for all knitters. The stuff in there is so cute!

Custom Jingle Blocks Order

I've been busy working on a custom order for 10 JOY block sets. They are almost done. Just need to sand and bag them.
