Crochet Ice Skating Outfit

Hello,

I saw the crochet outfit for 18" doll here.  I tried to make it following the pattern but the outfit came out too small.  I think because  I crochet tightly. So I increased the hook size to 4mm and made my own pattern.   It turned out so cute.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Square String Art Note Cards

Hello,

Last time I shared circle string art cards.  I have a few square string art pieces that I did a few years ago. I thought I put together a few more string art cards.

I like this square style too especially with the corner punch.

Thanks for looking!

Just Because ......

Hello,

Sharing an up date on my craft show over the weekend.  I had a two days craft show, Friday evening and Saturday morning.  On Friday it was raining all day by 7PM it was pretty nasty out.  I would not want to go out if I did not have too.  But the community was very supportive so they went out to see us.  On Saturday the weather was good; however, there was not much traffic (less then the previous night).  The show started at 9AM by 10 AM I sold only $12 (a set of crochet American girl outfit).  Another hour passed by and I sold only a few more dollars.  My friend, Elisabeth, was a return vendor and was wondering what was going on because in the past it was a great show.  By12 noon we were all sad.  Then all of a sudden we got a rush hour traffic.  Elisabeth had to help me.  And then by 1:30 it was over....what a day!  So over all we both did o.k. and looking  forward to next year show already.

And here is today quick and simple card.  The jumbo stamp was from Flourish stamp and the embossing folder was from Darice.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Magic Boxes

I haven't make this Christmas tree and the magic box in a long time.  I even forgot how to assemble the tree.  Thanks to Youtube tutorial I assembled the tree.

I made some really tiny cubes, 1/2 inch square,  to put near the tree.   They were made from 2 x 2 1/4 inches square.

I like the box with the red flowers better but not totally happy with it.  So stay tune for the one that I am really happy with it.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hershy Nuggets Verse

Hello,

I saw this on google  and thought it look cute.  I made 20 of these for last Sunday craft show but didn't sell any.

The kids liked it that the chocolate  craft did not sell because they got to have some.

Hershey Snowmen Wraps

Hello,

This is one of the items I made  for the craft show.  I have an expectation for each craft show I attended.  I set a goal for $200 yesterday and that is low considering I have so many different items.  If I reach my goal, I will return next year. Yesterday I almost reach the goal. I sold $170.  The location was great.  It was in a shopping center and on a busy intersection.  But there were no visible sign so we didn't attract more shoppers.  These snowmen used to fly off my table but yesterday I sold only 6.   I priced these at $2.75 each or 2 for $5 and people always bought two.

The bad thing is I didn't sell much but the good thing is I don't have to make much items for my next craft show. Yay........ more time to make crochet flowers. :)

Have a wonderful day!

Hello,

 My son, Jay, helped  fold these kusudama pieces two years ago.  I just assembled them last week.
This time I painted glitter glue all around the kusudama and they turned out oh so pretty.

Hark the Harald Angels sing

Hello,
 
Sharing a quick Christmas cards for up coming holiday.  Katie at Derby and Julep sent me lots of stamps.  I kept some and sent some out.  I really like these two stamps.

There is very little embellishment because I wanted the cards to be flat for just regular mailing.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Halloween Dress From Katie

Hello Everyone,

I am still around.  I'm just a little less motivated and a bit lazy of late.  I've noticed that I am like that after I finished a big project (Autumn afghan).  Any way I am hoping to get back to my routine soon.  O.k enough of my boring stuff.

Look at what Faye got in the mail again from Katie at Westiejulep.  A Halloween dress for her American girl doll.  The purse is just too cute!  Thank you so much Katie!

And here is the thank you card that Faye made for Katie.  She chose the embossing folder.  She wanted to color the leaves so I showed her how to use the aqua painter and water color crayons  from Stamping up.  Still need more work but I think Katie won't mind.  There is a happy face on the spider but my white gel pen never work right.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello,

I finished my friend Autumn afghan.  However, I forgot to take the finished afghan before she picked it up.
This picture here shown 11 blocks x 14 blocks about 65" x 78".  Rachel wanted a queen size so I added two more rows.  The finished afghan measure approximately 85" x 90".  

And look at her thank you card, simple yet so pretty.  I love it.

 A gift card on the inside.  I was totally surprised.  I did not expect this at all but Rachel won't have it.   Thank you Rachel.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello,

After making this card I realized that I didn't have space for the sentiment.

It works out fine because I like the hanging tag.
