Lucy's Shawl

Little Bit made a shawl for Lucy. It's crocheted in a peach and mint green color. Good job Little Bit. Lucy is one lucky dolly.

Lucy's New Dresses

Little Bit finished up her dolly dresses. She sewed the dresses all by herself with me sitting next to her directing the process. Way to go! They came out super cute. I love the fabric choices. Lucy is a very loved little doll.

Handicrafts Once Again!

It has been too long since Little Bit or I have been sewing or knitting. Today we are doing both. She is sewing new clothes for her doll Lucy. I am sitting next to her assisting and knitting. I haven't had needles in my hand for a month or two. It feels really good. I am finishing up a little doll sweater I am making Lucy. As always I am loving my Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece.

Wine Charm

This gorgeous wine charm was given to me by a very special friend. She made it herself. The words "Love Life, Live Life" are very meaningful to us both. Life is much too short not to live it and love it. Thank you for the beautiful crafty love gift.

Mini Pouch

Here is a little mini felted pouch I made out of the leftover scraps from the larger pouches I made. This one will hold a deck of cards. Also made with the Lanoloft yarns. I think this one is my favorite, I really like the striping.

Purple Pouch

No matter how many times I retake this photo it is not capturing the color right. It is a very deep purple and very pretty. Another felted pouch for art supplies. Love the deep purple color. Wish you could see it too. It's also a Lanoloft yarn.

Gorgeous Colors!

Before felting

Here is the little orange pouch before felting!

Orange Pouch

My newest felted pouch. For our art supplies. I think this one is going to the little boy. Made with Lanoloft yarn by Brown Sheep. Yarn color is called Confections!

Short Socks

Here they are! My first pair of socks completed! They are ankle sized socks being that it's summer and I want to wear them. They fit great and are super comfy. I can see why folks love hand knit socks.

Hooked on Socks!

Well it's official. I'm hooked on socks. I pulled out another ball of sock yarn I had because I wanted to try a different sized needle. The grey pair of socks I'm making on size 1 needles, but they seemed a bit big to me. This pink pair I've started on 0's and they feel much better already. I will be sticking with 0's from now on.

Sock Number Two

Sock number two started and working up a lot faster than the first.

Sock Done

Here it is! One down and one to go. And it fits! Now that I've done one I am no longer afraid of working on the second half of the pair. I'm especially motivated and want to start wearing them.

Short Socks

I have decided to make these ankle high socks. It's summer now and then I can start wearing them right away. I'm partially in to the ribbing, only an inch or so to go.

Sock Progress

I've turned the heel. I'm almost done with the gusset. Then it's a straight shot from there up to cuff. I feel like I'm making progress.

Finished Zipper Pouch

The pouch is felted and dry. Only needs me to pop the zipper in. It came out really nice. I'm still loving that yellow color.

Hat for Lucy

A little crocheted hat for Lucy to match her little yellow sweater. Cute!

Finished Box

Here is the finished felted box out drying in the sun. Looks good. The sides are nice and stiff and the colors felted together nicely.

Box Before Felting

Here we go! Off to the washing machine.

Felted Box

I am making a felted box. I'm using Lion Brand Fisherman wool I had on hand in two colors held together. The pattern is from a Mason Dixon knitting book I own. These little felted "crates" are very cute. I've made them before.
