Making baby gifts

A friend of mine that is in charge of the bull dog rescue is expecting her first baby. It is a girl! They are big Cardinal fans so I made this little beanie for her. Since I know that baby will be in love with her sibling bulldogs slim and double I made these mommy and daughter beanies for the cold winter. Hope she loves them!

Summer is almost over!

Summer is almost over and we didn't even have time for a vacation. Oh well guess we will take one in the fall. Finished alot of knitting projects and we got our Etsy store up and running. It is exciting to see what sells and comments. I did get to have a few craft days with friends and went to a concert so over all it was a relaxing summer.

Summer is going way too fast!

I am getting really bummed because this summer is going too fast. Pretty soon back to homework with the kid and all my teacher friends will be going back and not able to hangout anymore. We haven't taken a vacation yet or anything yet but my weekends have been quite busy getting together with family and friends. I will be really glad when this humidity goes away! I am going to see Grease (because it is the word!) with nieces and sisters this friday the sing along one. Then the next weekend It is Pat Benatar and Reo Speedwagon totally 80's flashback time. Need to start some projects soon but giving my hand a rest from knitting. Maybe I will finish at least one of my art journals.

My latest cards

I had to make a set of birthday cards for a card swap coming up and I just love my paisley cricut cartridge. I am finally getting to use the nesting dolls for something. I couldn't figure out how to make them open up maybe a friend could suggest something so I just connected them using a brads. They came out very colorful and I hope everyone thinks the saying on them is clever. Oh I didn't take a picture of the envelopes but they have a stamped doll in the bottom left corner of the envelope.

Infinity Scarves

I just got done making two Infinity scarves for a good friend of mine. They were quick to make and only took one skein of yarn to make. I made them 53 inches around and about 7.5 inches wide crocheted. I think these scarves will be very popular this winter along with the cowl scarves also. So we are ready for Fall!

Look what I did!

A friend taught me how to do this fabric/paper journal. I really like it and it was fun to make. Almost everthing was sewn on only a few stickers here and there. I finished it in two days. I think this is the quickest I have finished something.lol Now all I have to do is write in it.
