Embroidery

First time embroidering. I used my journal duck as a template.

Pinks

I'm lovin' the pinks these days. Very feminine and fun!

Alpaca hat

Livy's new hat made from Grandma's special alpaca yarn sent for Xmas. Livy started it but had me finish it for her.

His and Hers

Connor and Livy's new water bottle covers in coordinating colors.

Red bottle

My next cover in a deep red, pink, and tan color.

Bottles Galore

The brown cozy is a fabulous organic soft cotton. The peach is from a ball of dishrag cotton. Both are great and cover my Kanteen's nicely. I have one more of my Kanteen's to go. I'm thinking a reddish color on that one.

Tree sweaters

Here is a picture of my little knitted Christmas tree ornaments. They are getting packed away for another year today.

Birding Journals

Watercolor homemade birding journals. And yet another hobby fills my life.

Xmas yarn

The kids got me new yarn for Christmas. How fun. I'm happy to report to my very special friend in CO I will finally be making my socks. Now only if she was here to help me.

Wine Accesories

Little wine accessories. These were a special request for a very special friend. I love them. They came out really cute.

Pooh

And for the little woman I've got a Winnie the Pooh apron. I took the pic on my phone and can't seem to flip it. Sorry.

Batman

Here is a batman apron I whipped up for the little man for Christmas. My kiddos love their aprons for cooking and crafting.

Bye-bye

Well our snowman moved on to a new house. Ashley really wanted to give him as a present for a gift exchange.

I'm happy to report I've got white yarn cast onto my needles and I'm making another one. He's too cute not to have one sitting in the house.

Frosty

After my dishcloth madness I needed to change things up a bit. I found Frosty online and think he is adorable. The kids think I need to make a Mrs Frosty to go with him.

Lacy Edge Dishrag

Here is my new favorite dishrag pattern. It's a single crochet square dishrag with scalloped edge. (CH 4, sk a st, sc in next st) repeat around entire dishrag.

Dishrag Frenzy

I have been knitting and crocheting up a storm. I pumped out so many dishrags this month, but have forgotten to photograph them..... Next time. Most were gifts for birthdays. I made myself up a handful to go in my stocking for Christmas. I usually gift out everything, so decided Santa owed me a gift. They are made with that fabulous RED color and will be such a joy in the kitchen. The kids have been complaining our rags need an upgrade. Can't wait for Xmas morning! Silly I know, but with tight funds, this was one way to upgrade my rags. I'm thinking Santa may even drop in a few balls of Dishrag Cotton for the mama too. Imagine my delight to find even more cottons to work on after the new year.

Texas Tea

A common occurrence lately.

Love in a dishrag

I found a new dishrag cotton this week. A new color is always so exciting. This is my favorite color I've found as of yet. I love this red and can't wait to send some to a special friend in Cali, who has a red kitchen theme. I will however make several for myself as they are just to fantastic to part with all of them.

Scrubby Lady

I've been named the Scrubby Lady. Lately everywhere I've been I've had either a dishrag in hand or a dish scrubbie. I am in love with these fabulous little nylon scrubbies...... My grandmother loves them too, I'm mailing her some for her upcoming birthday and I'm keeping some for myself.

Dishrags Galore

I've been on a fun dishrag frenzy. I'm trying lots of different patterns with both knit and crochet. I do wish though I didn't have all these ends to weave in.
