Small Gift Bags

Hello,

Had these small bags for awhile. Finally decorated them.

Here are a few more.  The pink and purple were made with 2 pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 card stocks.  The Black one was made with 6 x 12 card stock.

 I personally enjoyed making my own bags then bought bags to decorate them.

You can fine all these bags at my Etsy shop.

Until next time....

First DreamBird Shawl Finished

Hello,

I know it is Summer, but I still wanted to share my first DreamBird shawl.  

My shawl doesn't shape like the original shawl because I used size 4mm and 4 ply yarn.  It is very thick and heavy.  Now I know why the pattern called for size 3mm knitting needle. I already bought new yarn for another DreamBird shawl.  Hopefully the second one will come out nicer.

Until next time....

DreamBird Shawl Practice

Hello,

When I first saw this dream bird shawl a few year ago, I wanted to make one so badly.  I didn't mind paying for the pattern either.  But after I read comments from people who followed the pattern, they said the pattern was confusing.  Therefore, it hold me back from purchasing the pattern.  Not long ago I started to search for tip on making the DreamBird shawl and I found a few that said the pattern was easy to follow.  All I need is to follow a one page line by line instruction.  I decided to buy the pattern and gave it a tried.  Here is my first feather practiced using 4 ply worsted yarn. It took me a long time but I did it the very first try.  Very easy to follow just need two stitch markers (I used scrap yarn) and a row counter. 

Stay tune for my first completed DreamBird shawl.

Wedding Cards

Hello,

I was debating to continue blogging or to stop because I am completely lost interest now.  It used to be exciting now it's like a chore.  I still make ton of stuffs though.

Any way I'm going to give it until the end of the year.

I have a few wedding cards to share since it is wedding season.

I saw this card on pinterest.  I thought it is so cute.  

 My friend Elisabeth gave me some wedding stickers.  I quilled the rings then added the stickers.

 This last one is  popular.  I made a few of them and they were all sold.

Thanks again for looking.  Have a lovely day.

Echo Of Kindness Note Card

Hello,

After an extreme cold Winter, we finally had a taste of Spring yesterday and I also had a taste of going back to work.  I work part time mostly on weekends sometime weekdays when the temperature reaches above 40 degrees and stop working when the temperature goes below 40.   You know what it wasn't too bad going back to work because while at work I thought of  $$$$ and more yarns. lol

I have another Spring card to share today.

It is a very simple card.  I used one of my favorite stamps from Stamping Up called Echo Of Kindness.

Have a marvelous week!

AG Doll Clothes By Faye

Hello Blogger Friends,

Do you still remember me?  I can't believe it is already February!  During my absent from blogging, I had been crocheting/knitting a few items but my camera is not working as good (pictures don't come out clear) so I don't have good  pictures of my craft to share. 

But I just have to share this doll blue skirt and the dress. 

They were made by Faye!  Aren't that impressive?  Faye learned to crochet last Summer but  she lost interest because I asked her to practice the same stitches over and over.  She thought it was boring then I told her if she found practicing the stitches is  boring then crocheting is not for her.  She stopped for a while then she started it again.  Over the weekend she told me she wanted  to crochet doll skirt.  I gave her the supplies and the instruction.  She made the blue skirt.  I thought it was pretty cute. It was crochet from side to side.  Then she wanted to crochet a dress.  I told her to use the same technique but used one row double crochet one row single crochet.  I went to work on Sunday.  When I came home, Faye surprised me with the peach dress and the hair band.   I was excited to see that she picked up quickly. 

Until next time
