Bragging

Well, I have three things to brag about today. I made all of them within the last week or so. All of them are for dear old me.

 You can't really tell, but the bottom crystal is dark purple.

When I was in Russia in winter, my mom gave me a string of triangular tiger eye beads that used to be a necklace. I used them as a starting point for this necklace and earrings.

I started working on the motifs for this bag months ago, and since it was not something for sale, I took my sweet time. It took me 3 days to make lining for this bag! I haven't sewn since 8th grade, so it was a real challenge to figure out how to make pleats, how to make them work, how to not screw it all up. The toughest part - hand-sewing the lining into the bag.

new booties

As much as I dislike making things where I have to sew parts together after I've crocheted them, these booties were fun to make!

 I sure hope I will have a baby girl one day!

New Bag!

Here's a bag I finished last week.

Originally, I was making it for myself, but now I think it came out nice enough to try selling it!

Spring crochet

Here are some of my newly-made items. I really hope they sell, because we could use the money.

Here's the cow purse.








Here's the bunny purse:

Here's the bunny hat:

and the bunny booties (I am NEVER making these again!)

And here are the two things I am working on at the moment.
A baby afghan (the first afghan I ever made):

I came up with the pattern myself!
