Another Jean Purse

I made this for my friend, Marsha.  It was the first time I had to make a lining, and it came out pretty good.  A quick trip to Joann's and I found the perfect straps.  Put pockets in the inside.  I keep learning as I go along.

My first shrug

I made a shrug. I thought it was a tad small for my body. I gave it to a dear friend (she looked absolutely gorgeous in it); she took it home and blocked it out, and returned it to me! It fits wonderfully now. What a sweet, sweet lady I am blessed to have as a friend.

Never dare the Bonewoman!!

In September, I got an email with the cutest picture of decorated cookies.  The girls thought I should make some for the upcoming bake sale for the Sunday School classes.  Well,  never tempt me with something "ornery".  They aren't fit for a bake sale, but the ladies will be surprised when I bring them to knitting in the morning.

Hey, I never said I was an artist!!!!!  My husband thinks I'm nuts, but he did have a BIG smile on his face!!

First, the scarf...

                                     Finished this gorgeous scarf and showed it to some friends.

Then, a friend suggested making matching mitts to go with the scarf.

SO I DID!!!!

Thanks to A.M. for the pattern, and GerryArt for the suggestion!!!

Luv ya!!!



I did it!!!!!

Okay, I'm a few weeks late for 4th of July, but I made my FIRST drawstring bag.  I used a bandana I got really "cheap", and it was my practice one; not too bad for the first one.  Thanks, GerryArt, for the helpful tutoring!!

Also, thanks to Anna Marie and her granddaughter, I made this little bag out of a washcloth and duct tape!!!  I found duct tape sheets and they worked well for this.  With the help of hubby, we got the grommets in.  What fun it was to put together!!!

My return to creativity

Okay, time to show some creativity. Last year, I bought this size 18 month jean skirt at my neighbor's garage sale. Then, last week, went to Hobby Lobby and got the denim bag...came home, sewed the skirt on to the bag, and viola!!! A small purse suitable for church. How fun!!!!

It's a new day

Good morning. The fireworks were amazing! Seeing them from 10 stories up really made an impression. After all these years, fireworks showed me how soldiers must have seen the attacks coming. It was really a new perspective!
Dad did much better last night and we hope to move to a rehab center tomorrow. Pray they have a room available.
P.S. I hope Gerryart gets this in her google reader now!
