Hello,<br />
<br />
Although this Winter is not as cold as past Winter, I look forward to Spring so I made this card. I bought this stamp ages ago from AC Moore but I rarely use it. <br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
Wow, it had been almost 4 months since my last post. Do I still have any reader?<br />
<br />
Here are Dreambird shawls that I had been making. Both need to be block and weave in all ends.<br />
<br />
Faye wants this one. I used baby yarn so it is very soft. It has more feathers but since I used smaller needle the shawl is not as big. I made it a little long so she won't grow out of it too fast. She grown out of everything that I made her. <br />

This next one was a joy to knit. I used size 6mm needle and Red Heart Soft yarn. It was pretty fast to knit.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
Until next time....<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
When I first saw this <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dreambird-kal">dream bird shawl </a>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. <br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm here to share a baby set that I made for my niece. Her favorite color is yellow.<br />
<br />
The blanket still need blocking. I used Red Heart pattern. You can fine the rose patter <a href="https://www.redheart.com/files/patterns/pdf/J27.0004.pdf">here</a>. You need to go to page 10 for the rose pattern. I can't wait to make another one or two with pink or purple.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm tired of making box for gift card so I made gift bags instead. These were made from 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches card stock which mean one 8 1/2 x 11 makes two bags. I'm planning on making more. I will share the measurement then<br />

I also added the link under Frequent visited blog. <br />

I opened an Etsy shop almost 4 year ago but I abandoned it after a few months. With my friend's (Elisabeth) help, my shop is up again. Thanks Elisabeth for helping with my Etsy shop!<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
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 <br />
<br />
I have another Spring card to share today.<br />

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

Hello Blogger Friends,<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
But I just have to share this doll blue skirt and the dress. <br />

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. <br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

I promise my sister Sue a crochet jacket. I thought she would look better with a shawl so I made her this Old Shale Shawl, free pattern <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/old-shale-shawl-4">here</a>. <br />
<br />
The color is Blue Hawaii. <br />

Hello,<br />
My neighbor, Anna, asked me to make 2 boxes for her necklaces. As soon as I saw the necklaces, I wanted one too. I show Anna my Kusudama. She liked them and wanted them for gifts; I suggested we trade. She thought it was a great idea. So I'll be getting the blue necklace in January.<br />

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
I can't believe it has been more than a month since I post! I had been busy with craft shows. Some shows were good some were BAD. If the craft show coordinator advertised well, then we will have good show. Many just took our money and didn't do their part. Oh, well, then we will never go back there again. I booked one craft show every week since the end of October. Some weeks I even had 2 shows. Crazy, I know. I won't do that again next year. <br />
<br />
Here is what I had been working on<br />
<br />

Everyone only wanted dresses and the colors are pink or purple. I made a bunch of tops over the Summer; no one looked at them. Everyone just grabbed the dresses. So I had been making dresses. <br />
<br />
Also, I wanted to share my Black Friday fine. I wasn't going to shop on Black Friday. However, Victor was browsing Walmart flyers and I happened to catch the page with the Red Heart With Love yarn on sale, $1.97 per skein for 315 yards. My favorite yarns on sale. I had to get some! May be more than some. It turned out not only me wanted yarns. The first Walmart I went to only had a few skeins left. I went to 3 Walmart to get these yarns. I didn't know how many skeins I bought. Some were not in the picture. I still need pink,green, and teal. Couldn't fine those colors at any Walmart. Hopefully these yarns will last me a while. <br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I bought this yarn at Joann Fabric from the yarn bin. It sold by the pound. I used about half a pound and size 4mm needle to make this circular vest. I found a graph pattern on line. Sorry I don't have the link to the pattern.<br />

The finished vest looked very nice. I wanted to keep it but it didn't look nice on me so I took it to the craft shows. My thought was if I sold it, then it's good. On the other hand if it didn't sell, I'll just keep it. It attracted lots of attentions and finally sold it on my third show last Saturday.<br />
<br />
I wanted to thank you everyone who stopped by my table last Saturday. It was a great show! Don't you just love the communality who appreciate handmade craft. The weather was bad but it didn't stop the craft show shoppers. They came out and supported us. They were also very considerate of us. They paid us in small bills. I didn't need to use the changes that I brought . I think all vendors did well.<br />
<br />
Faye also had been crocheting. She started learning to crochet earlier this year. I asked her to practice one stitch at a time. The first stitch was the chain stitch, then the single crochet stitch, and so on. She made this purse while watching some movies. <br />

I was curious how she made it. She said it was easy "I just crochet a long rectangle, fold into a purse shape and sew the edges together." I asked her how come the flab edge is not straight. She said she likes it like that. And look she helped herself to one of the button.<br /> <br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I had a craft show on Saturday. One word says it all "horrible." In the past I did well for this show. I didn't understand why I did badly this time. Everybody else did o.k. My friend Elisabeth did pretty well. I sold 4 items just enough to cover the table fee. Two bad shows in a row; I'm really beat! Will it stop me from creating? Never!<br />
<br />
<br />Here is today card<br />

Hello,<br />

I wanted to update over the weekend craft show. It was the worst show I had ever had. Friday evening I sold 2 items, Saturday evening I sold a few small items and Sunday I sold one item worth $12. On top of the table fee, we had to give 20% of our total sale. Well it wasn't much since I didn't sell much. It wasn't only me that didn't do good. All the handmade vendors didn't do good. But the reseller vendors they did pretty well. So it seemed to me that Bryn Mawr community preferred manufacture items over unique handmade crafts, different stroke for different folks for sure.<br />
<br />
I haven't make a cards in a long time. So last week I took out my favorite stamp set from Stampin' UP! and made these cards.<br />
