Crochet Edges Curtain Panels

Hello,
I needed 4 curtain panels.  Each panels was 80" x 80".  I didn't know why but I just love the curtain with the crochet edges.  I finished two panels.  I couldn't take a picture of the entire panel.  So here is a picture of the crochet edges that I did.

I did this design around the curtain except the top part of the curtain.  The first panel I finished in two days.  The second panel took a lot longer than that because I was bored crocheting the same design. Now that I am finished with them I didn't really like the design. I still need two more panels but I am not going to need them until April so I will wait to finish the other two with different design.

I don't have a pattern.  If you google "crochet edges", you will fine many.

Also, I am delighted to receive this award from Monica at Handmade cards with love

Monica created very unique cards for charity. She is very good with using natural material such as coffee beans, herb plants, leaves and many more on her cards.  Thank you Monica for sharing this award with me.

Thank you so much for looking.

Fun Furr Scarfs

Hello,

If you are my frequent blog visitor, you knew I went through stages.  My current stage is knitting and crocheting. I had been looking for scarf, but couldn't fine the one that fit my need. I bought this Fun Furr yarns from Joann Fabric because someone recommended.  I like the looks and how it feels so I bought a couple rolls.

Here are the scarfs.

They looked much prettier in person.  Some how they looked like caterpillar in these pictures.

Stay tune for my crocheting.

Thank you for visiting.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Birthday Invitation

Hello,

A friend asked me to make birthday invitations for her husband. The birthday party was on January, 1st. 

These were the samples that I showed to her

She liked the third one. I forgot to take picture of the finished invitations before I gave them to her. I CAS this invitation from SU 2009-2010 catalog page 49.

Here is the favor opened. These were Hershey nuggets wrapped with embossing card stocks.

The card stocks were from Joann Fabric by Darice, Inc.  They were so pretty.


Thanks for looking.

Match box Jewelry Box

Good Morning,


I made this a while ago.  It was inspired from a jewelry box that I saw on line.


This is the front.  I know one side is shorter than the other.  I had to create  the side box as tall as the 4 match boxes. Some how a long the way it missed by about 1/8". Oh, well.   This is my first try out.  Hopefully the next one will come out better.

I decorated both sides like this.  The accent was from ColorBox sold at Joan Fabric.  I got them during clearance.  

Here is the view from the corner.

The stand was made from tracing the topnote die. I didn't have the measurement because I just made it as I went a long.


I haven't decided what to do with the top so I just leave it blank.

Thanks again for stopping by.  Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm if you are in the snowing area. And enjoy the weather if you are in the tropical area.

Hand Stitches Cards

Hello,
Over the summer, when I took the children to the playground, I also took my craft there. I did my stitching while they played. 

I love this stamp set called Echoes of Kindness from Stampin' Up! (retired).

Bind It All Post it Note Holder

Hello,
I bought the Bind-It-All a few years ago but hardly used it.  I decided to make a few bind it all post it note holders.

I like the first two better with just the wire instead of tie the ribbons on the wire like the last two.

Make it Monday

Thanks for looking.
