[Granger]

Subscribed hoping to post some scrapbook stuff if I very get unpacked. Oh and me no sew window valence I plan to make whether it is a success or fail!

My typing is a fail and I can't be bothered to edit tonight. Sorry

I am not crafty at all, though I really admire people who have a talent in that department, especially knitting, sewing, crocheting, wood carving, and tole painting.

There is a woman in this area who crochets the most amazing things! Her dolls, in particular, are fantastic. She makes celebrity replicas and presents them to singers who put on concerts in the area. Jim Parsons (of The Big Bang Theory) is pictured holding the doll she sent him and he appeared on a talk show or two with it! Since then, she has been working flat out with orders for her creations. If you'd like to check her work out, look up Am(i)dorable Crochet on Facebook and go to her photos page. She also has a nice blog that shows media coverage of her work.

I just found an interesting finishing technique for anyone who wants to make those fleece blankets for tots or anyone else.....so much nicer than those knotty fringes!

ha ha Lynn! My Dd did something like that to some of her oversized t-shirts. She hacked away the sleeves and then braided the back somehow, it looks just like that edge! ha ha

You have a very talented DD....comes by it from her Daddy, I'm guessing?

A tiny hat and mitten set for my and my DD's hairdresser...It was so
sweet knitting in pink for a change!

And the doggie quilt for our dog park's raffle basket for Woof Fest on Oct 4th!
And...Jenny's tentative claim on it...

ps...the edges look uneven, but that's because it's just rumpled on the floor...

Both are awesome, Lynn!

Very nice work. ^^

Not very crafty. DH loves airbrushing and my DD is really interested in graphic design. I never really have been crafty myself.

Both are awesome, Lynn!

Thank you, Nat...that knitted set was my first attempt at two-colour knitting, and I learned so much, working from a chart!
Hey!...keeps the old grey cells standing at attention, right? I hope to drop in and give it to her tomorrow before we all head out for dinner....

Bang up job on all the pieces Lynn! I always love seeing Jenny in the pics too. lol. ( the pink set had me in near tears! I only had the one girl so those pink days are long gone now )

[Lynn49]

I hear you, Walks....I only had one little girl, and for the past 6 years it's been all blue, red etc....now denim...superheroes...switching it up to pink reminded me of our daughter....SO long ago, it seems.....Thank
you for the compliments.

Thank you, Ladies!

Since I posted these on another thread, I thought I'd bump this one so more folks would post their creations.


The first pic is a garnet necklace I made for my bff's aunt's 80th b-day last week.




These are examples of my amethyst obsession.
