More RAK From Katie, OMG!

Hello Blogger Friends,

Today I would like to share more RAK from Katie at WestieJulep. Katie also has another blog called KatieSew4Fun.   Katie sew some fabulous quilts and awesome 18" doll clothes.   She donated them to rescue groups .  I met Katie through Ann's blog Meet My Other Friend Monday not too long a go and we had been connected since.

 Last week a package arrived for Faye and here are what inside


plus a cap and a skirt

Then earlier this week a big box arrived from Katie again.  Look how happy Faye is!

 A quilt for Faye! Last month Katie made a trip to  Lancaster PA for  fabric shopping.  You can read it all on her blog HERE.  Faye chose the fabrics that Katie posted on her blog.

The quilt is very pretty some of the fabric are sparkle.  I didn't know there are such fabric.  My photo didn't do the quilt justice but you can tell that Faye loves it! Katie has a much better pictures on her blog HERE.

Faye knew about her quilt but she didn't know about this one.  A matching quilt and pillow for her AG doll! She was super excited.

plus a new P.J set and a rope.


Wow, what a RAK! Thank you a million Katie! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Crochet Hairbands and Crochet ID Badges

Hello,

Is it May already? oh, my! I am still crocheting everyday.  Today I am sharing my new favorite crochet flowers.  I did one simple stitch to the flower and it gave a hold new look. Love the pink and green.

Crochet hairbands, the pink one was inspired from here.
Crochet ID badges.  See the beaded flower center, those were the beaded flowers that I made sometime ago.  I love how they go so well as the flower center.
As always thanks for stopping by!

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!

Helen
