Pocket Notes

The perfect little notepad and pen holder. Before you throw away those old jeans cut the pockets out, add magnets and stick to your fridg. I also made a pocket pot holder but forgot to take a picture, they didn't turn out as well as I'd like but may have to try one more time. If I do I will take a picture...

Shawl

When Keni and I went to the hospital just before Christmas one of the ladies asked us to not wait so long to come back. So I told her I would be there for sure for Valentine's Day and I would bring her a chocolate. She told me her birthday was the day after and she would for sure eat the chocolate. So I made this little shawl to take to her. Keni can't wait to see her in it. I hope she likes it...

Rag Rugs

The first rug is my first attempt. As you can see I needed to connect my strips differently. I ended up calling it my butterfly rug from all the ends sticking out. The 2nd one turned out much better. These two are made with sheets cut into 1 1/2 to 2 inch strips and a Q hook. Takes about 5 hours to cut up the strips and another 4 or 5 hours to make the rug. I need to get busy and get a few more made. By the way if you make any rugs, yarn or rag, you need to be very careful of them slipping on the floor. So to solve that problem lay a strip of shelf liner under them to prevent the slipping. until next time...

Rug

This rug was made with Red Heart yarn. My sister sent me a box of year that she got at a yard sale. The postage cost her way more than she paid for the 2 boxes of yarn! There was 12 skeins of the gold color in this rug. I never have been able to use that gold yarn in any of my projects. It just didn't go with anything I have done. But it worked great in the rug. I actually made 2 of these and sent one to each of my sisters. And I still have more of the gold yarn left!!! These rugs are made with 2 strands of yarn and a size L hook. They do work up fast and I love making them. until next time...

Christmas Rug

I saw the kit for this rug in Herrschners catalog and just had to make it. I think it looks much better in person than in the picture. The yarn has the metallic thread through it, I wasn't really happy with that but in the end the rug turned out nice.

Fun Fur Scarf

Keni asked me for a red, black and white fun fur scarf to wear with her red hoodie with a black and white design on it. So I just happened to have 2 skeins of each color, here is the finished product. With the little bit left over I made one to match for her little weeny dog. She just had to have it for Monday morning and then she didn't even wear it! lol love and hugs...

Hats and Scarves

I have made 10 hat and scarf sets in the last month. Have 2 more to go and should have all the nieces, nephews, my sister and even brother-in-law covered until they get tired of them and want a different color! lol Until next time...
