Crochet Daisy or Sunflower?

Hello,

Last week I finally tried to crochet a daisy.  It came out looking neither a daisy nor a sunflower but I like it though.

I was thinking of making it into a brooch but thought it would look better on a card.  Now it looks kind of funny a little.  Every time I looked at it it reminded me of a bobble head (lol).

Any how have a great Monday!

You Are One Of A Kind

Hello,

When I made this card, I wanted to stamp the sentiment on the pattern paper but didn't want to mess up the pretty  paper;


so I made another one.  I like the above one better.  Lately, I am into bright colors thought they look so pretty.  Pattern paper and stamps were from stampin' up.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Crochet Poncho For Faye

Hello,

Faye asked for a gray poncho just like the one I made for myself here.  She asked and she got it.  Well, she will get it only if I know how to make it.  I crocheted tighter for this one than the one I made for myself.  I like the feel and the look of the Caron Simply soft yarn but this yarn  is easily wear out! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Blank Note Card

Hello,

I was in the mood to make some cards.  Here is one of them inspired from a card I saw at split coast stamper.


The stamp image was from stamin' up! called "Just Believe" love that set.  I colored the image with markers then added a small pearl in the flowers center. I like how it turned out.

I bought the card base from Michale's 60 cards and envelops for $5.  I thought that was a good deal and the quality was surprisingly nice.

Enjoy your weekend!

Baby Carriage Favors

Hello,

My friend, Joan, called me last month.  She told me she needed baby boy favors.  Now that was music to my ears! She said she needed only 30 favors for three baby boys shower.  My thought was "that was little for 3 baby showers."  So I said,  Lindsy is expecting,  Desirae  just had a baby not too long ago, who are the other two expecting?  Joan said, Lindsy is expecting triplet and they are identical.   OMG! what a miracle! Both side of the family had no history of twin or triplet and there was no fertility involved.  How excited is that!


 I wanted to add embellishment but was afraid it would look girly so I just leave them plain.


I first learned to make the baby carriage from here. 

I am hoping to post the tutorial next week. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
