Some more crafts I have done

This doll quilt was also donate to the HCC office to use for Christmas gifts. Fabric was left over from a cushion set made for my rocking chair

A little something I made at a library activity

 

For Mother's day my oldest DD got me a ticket to Empty Bowl for lunch. We get to go and pick out a pottery bowl made and donated to this lunch. Several restaurants donated soups/breads etc. All funds raised from this meal goes to the food bank. My favourite was the sweet potato and coconut soup. This is the bowl I picked out.

 

 

A few items for DGD

Catching up on some sewing etc that I have done.

Got a picture of DGD wearing the knitted pullover I made for her birthday.

Below is a picture of her Easter dress. Still have to make a matching one for her doll. It's next on my sewing list.

HCC blankets

The HCC office mitten tree takes donations of yarn for knitters to make into mittens or hats. They received the following yarn

Two big balls of this yarn and I was asked to make something out of it for them so I made these

I turned each ball into doll blankets and sent them to the office. They do Christmas gifts for children  and by making the doll blankets they will be able to include them with a doll as a gift. Perfect use of the yarn if you ask me and the office seem to agree.

Fabric choices for baby quilt that I am having second thoughts on

 The above picture is of the backing and the picture below is of the border/binding

Azel pullover and a doll pullover

Dear granddaughter birthday is coming up and her mother my daughter asked me last fall if I could make this Azel pullover this year for her birthday. DGD will be starting school in the fall and she though  it would be nice for her to have to wear. 

I got the pattern on Ravely and the yarn used is Bernat  softee chunky yarn in grey ragg. 

Granddaughter got a 18 inch doll from her aunt for Christmas and I figure she could use some clothes for it so I knitted up a pullover for the doll with left over yarn.

Baby blanket

There was a baby shower a couple weeks ago for a friends daughter and this is the baby blanket I made for her.  I used Bernat baby coordinates Cotton candy. Pattern used was the one on the yarn wrapper. The blanket felt so soft when finished.

Couple new craft projects

Been awhile since I posted but my knitting project has been taking longer than planed(life has been getting in the way). In the mean time here are a couple projects that I have completed. Second one was a group project as it was for a ladies church activity.

The first is one I made back in December. I like to have a Christmas planter on my front porch each year but to buy them they are a little expense. But with coupons, sales and ready shopping around I was able to make one for a good price. It's made with fake branches and can be used over and over again without shelling out money for a new one each year and if I want to change the ribbon etc a trip to the dollar store will be all it takes.

 

 

Also today our church lady group had a mini-spa day where we gave ourselves a facial using natural ingredients and than made ourselves a hot/cold pack.

 

Here is the front of the invitations that were given out with the date/time info on the back. We used remove-able tape for the info so that info can be removed and the ladies can use this for bookmarks.

 

 

 

Below is a picture of what the ladies when home with. A sleepy time bath tea, recipe book, hot/cold pack that included lavender (in plastic bag). The bag is shown unfilled. The bags were pre made and filled during our afternoon activity.

 

A fun time was held by all and we had fun trying out some different DIY beauty recipes.
