Christmas Purse!

I finally finished something!  I'd hate to think how many ufo's (unfinished objects) I have right now.  But here is my Christmas purse!  It turned out really good!  The receptionist at the ocologist's office is paying me $20 to make one for her!  Woohoo!  I can buy more material!

I made this for a friend that wants it for her mother's 88th birthday.  I'm pleased with the way she turned out!

This was just fun.  Fun to make and will be fun to carry.  At least until October when I'll make a Halloween purse!

Outfit for my granddaughter Danai


I made this for my granddaughter Danai who is 4. She went to the fabric store with me and picked out the material. Her mommy picked out the pattern. It was fun to make.

New Granddaughter Brianna's outfit and teddy





I made this to match the receiving blanket I made for my granddaughter Brianna Leigh that was born 7/17. I will post a picture when I go up there in August. I forgot to take a picture of it before I mailed it.

Birthday Bed Doll


I had so much fun making my first bed doll I made a second one for a friend's 80th birthday.

My first bed doll




This is the first bed doll I made. I read somewhere about a woman that went through her mother's things after she passed away. The mother was always crocheting or making something or other. She said there was almost nothing handmade in her mother's home. So I started looking around my house. There was almost nothing handmade here either although I've always got one project (or two or three!) going. So I decided I wanted to make something for myself and found this pattern for a pretty bed doll belle. I needed something to put on the plain blue bed in my guest room. I think she turned out beautifully!


I've been crocheting for about 40 years, but haven't done anything but afghans. I finally decided it was time to start doing different things. This is one of the first I've done. I enjoyed doing it so much I have decided to make each of my 4 granddaughters one for Christmas. Oh wait! That's 5 granddaughters now! My newest was born 7/17!
