Baby donation...

We had our annual service project this year at school, in which we collect items for babies and donate them. I made a bath mitt and a wash cloth, paired them up with some baby wash and a rubber duck.

I used "I Love this Cotton" from Hobby Lobby, so the wash cloth and bath mitt are super soft. 

I couldn't find a yellow rubber duck...but this purple one added a little color! And hopefully it will  bring joy to a little baby's bath!

You can find the wash cloth pattern here.

And the bath mitt here. (I made mine to fit my hand.)

Snowflakes ready to go!

A little Christmas crafting....

Here are a few things I've been working on....

...a little paper crafting, crochet, and decorating for Christmas.  The top left picture is a granny ripple stitch lap blanket I'm currently working on, in red and white. It's an easy pattern and I love the red and white together.  I wanted to try crocheting a Christmas stocking, just for fun! I "upgraded" to a new Cricut Explore, so the tag was one of my first projects using digital files. Love it...
Enjoy!
Hope you can find some time to feed your creative soul today!

My Latest....

I just finished this pretty, large doily...

I think this is the largest doily I've made...

I love it!

You can find the chart here.

Thanks...quick and easy!

Looking for a quick and easy card that still looks handmade??? How about this beauty?

I recently bought this Darcie embossing folder from

Consumer Crafts. I made this card the day

after I got it! Wow! I love it! (I used card stock from

Hobby Lobby that is similar to core'dinations...white

on the back.) I added a decorative paper fastener and 

called it done! What could be easier???

Thanks for checking in and have a great day!

Vintage gift bag

Hi! I'm sharing a little vintage gift bag idea today....

I started with an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper and folded it, so the "seam" was in the back; then sealed the bottom.

I embellished the front with a page from a Workbasket magazine, added a paper doily

for closure and stamped the front.

Here it is from the back:

 And a closer view of the stamp:

This kind of 'bag' worked well since the item is flat.

Thanks for checking in and have a great day!

I'll be back soon to share a few crochet dishcloths

I've been working on!

Make a chair look pretty!

I decided to crochet a little chair "pad" today.

I used gray t-shirt yarn that I bought on clearance last summer,
with a size N hook.

I like the way it looks...the perfect touch to a vintage wooden chair.
I browsed through my crochet patterns until I found

something I thought might work. This is a small doily motif, made

with 8 rounds of crochet. You can find the pattern here.

(It's the pattern on the top. :)

Have a great day!
