Hand Towel

This is one of the hand towels I make to go with the pot holders. I make a dress to cover the dish soap to match and it all makes a real cute set for a gift.

I have had a long day so will make this one nice and short. Bye for now...Hugs Cindy

Pot Holders

These are my favorite potholders to make. You start at the top and cover the cabone ring and just work in rounds until finished. Close the bottom and you are done. Nice double think potholders.

I make a hand towel to match. I will have to look and see if I have taken a pic of any of them before sending them off to a new home. I really do need to organize my pics and get them all together.

I think Spring is here!! It was 64 yesterday and we saw our first pair of Robins in the yard! That must mean Spring is here!! I hope you all are having as nice of weather as we are . Hugs Cindy

More Lucky Pennies

I found a few more shiney pennies, adjusted my pattern and made these. Now I am happy with the pattern. I will have to stop at the bank tomorrow and get some nice shiney pennies. For babies it could be the year you were born penny! I was thinking of doing a state quarter too.

I have had trouble all day trying to get on here to post. Sometimes I think blogger wants me to disappear with all the trouble I have with it. Oh well just try, try, again! Hugs Cindy

Lucky Penny

I have been thinking of things for Teachers' Appreciation. It's not until May but thought I would get some things lined up. I did the Lucky Penny a few years ago and since these are all different teachers I thought I would do it again just a different little touch. So this is my first one. I need to adjust it just a little but I do like the way it turned out. Now I just need to dig out some shiney pennies so I can make about 14 more!

I hope everyone had a wonderful week end. It was kind of chilly here today. We are suppose to get rain the next few days but will just have to wait and see if it happens...Hugs Cindy

Ark Baby Blankie

I made this baby blankie a couple of years ago for my sister to give to a friend. It is the second time I made this pattern and the second time I said "I'd never make another one!" But knowing me I will probably make another one someday. The making is easy it is just the putting together of all those little squares that take the time. But it is so cute when finished. George still has the one I made for him when he was about 12 years old. It is a farm scene. I will have to have him get it out of his closet one of these days and take a pic of it.

It was so nice yesterday. Even Keni commented about the nice spring day. It is suppose to be the same today. I hope so! Then we are suppose to get rain again. We need the rain I just hate all the MUD! I hope everyone has a wonder day...Hugs Cindy

Christmas Again

These are the ornaments I made for the ornament swap in December. I was pretty happy with the way they turned out. I really am excited about the ornaments I have decided to make for the swap this year. It will be so hard NOT to share them before then! I will tell you it will be another snowman but that is all you will get out of me! LOL

I cut the top of my thumb so haven't been able to stitch for the last couple of days but may have to break down and try a to do a little today. It is so hard to not pick up a needle or hook. Tried to read last night but kept thinking about what I wanted to make so had to keep reading the same page over. Finally gave up on the reading! LOL Well gonna go and get some laundry and stuff done. Hopefully I can work on something later. Hope everyone has a great day...Hugs Cindy

Another Scrappy Scarf

This is the 3rd Scrappy Scarf I have made in the last few weeks. Keni says she "claims them all!" They are each so different but so cute. I just love them. For now I am out of pieces of off white so no more Scrappy Scarves for a while. Now I am off to find a new project. That is always a hard decision. Wish me luck...Hugs Cindy
