Bracelet and another Lacey bag


The above bracelet is knitted. Thought it would be kind of fun to try this so I purchased two kits. The kits are from knitca.com. You get the knitting wire, beads, knitting needles and needle along with waste wire used for casting on. The above bracelet is called Isabella and I purchase it in silver. You have six colours to choose from. Doesn't look quite like the picture on the box but still happy the way it turned out.  I should have knitted a little tighter as some of my stitches are a little bigger than they should be. As this is my first attempt I am satisfied with in and am wearing it as I type this.



This is the Lacey bag that I made for my DGD.  The green fabric laying under the bag is the fabric used for lining the bag. I like how cute it is and it will come in handy for her to put her hair accessories into when coming here or to her other grandparents for sleep overs.

Nightgowns


Every year my grandchildren expect me to make them pj's for Christmas and after Christmas every year my local fabric store put their flannel fabric on sale for 50% or more. So while most are hitting the department stores and clothing stores I am hitting the fabric store and get the fabric for pj's. Here is the finished nightgown from last year sale for. DGD.






With the scraps I was able to get a nightgown and a little mask for one of her dolls. Both nightgowns need a little touch up with the iron and will take care of that next time I pull out the iron to iron DH shirts for work.
