Soaps

Playing catch up

I've been working on several projects, so now to post everything. I am going to do each type of thing seperately so that I can categorize them easier. :-D

Hummingbird Decal

Here's another decal I sent out today.

Flower Faery Dolls

Pointsetta Flower Faery - Miniature doll




Grandma Midnight Faery Pincushion Doll

First day back to school

Today is officially my first day of classes! This is such an exciting thing for me! Granted, it's online, but it's still BIG!

Here's what I am taking this semester:
* Mythology
* Stress Management
*Modern Business Mathematics

I want to say thank you to all of my wonderful friends that have been supporting me through the registration process and all the stress of getting here, now you will REALLY have your hands full!

Hugs all around!

Charity's You can craft for!

So, I've been getting emails from different charities that are looking for Knitters, Crocheters and sewers to make gifts for the needy and thought I would share them all here.

The Snuggles Project is a neat way to send a little love to homeless pets.

The Preemie Project comforts premature and critically ill infants and their families at The University of Iowa Children’s Hospital by giving gifts of hats, booties and blankets that have been handcrafted by a devoted group of local and national volunteers.

Warm Up America! (WUA!) is an organization made up of volunteers who create handmade afghan blankets, clothing and accessories to help those in need.

Krochet Krystal's Daisy afghans for charities. Crochet a daisy square (or as many as you like) send them to Krystal and she puts them together and sends them to local charities.

Knit or Crochet Helmet liners for the troops.

If you know of a charity, please let me know and I will add it to my list. I am also going to add these links to the side of my blog for permenant availability.

Faery Charms

These are some faery charms I made to sell.  I think they will be the only ones I make as well because they were such a pain to create!  LOL

Faery Baby Doll

So, for all of you that have been following the baby doll's progress, she's nearly done.  I just need to make her wings!   Here is a slideshow of her progress:

If you want to see the pictures individually you can go here.

3 Ladies WIP

This is the piece I am currently working on for the 3 Ladies Round Robin over in the Robin's Nest.

Snowing

It's still snowing... it snowed on and off all day yesterday, it snowed last night, it's snowing now. Here's a pic of last night and this morning for all of you...

Last Night (taken from front porch facing neighbors)


This Morning (standing in my driveway facing down my street)


It's beautiful, but boy do I hate shoveling at 7:30am!

Update on Baby Doll

So I have her head attached to the body now and her face is done...  Waiting on the next lesson.

Picture of her with the fabrics I will be using for her outfit and wings.

Close up of her face, isn't she adorable?
 

I am waiting on her hair, it was special ordered from Rynda Original Designs.  It is Hand-Dyed Tibetan Lamb Skin, in Heather Blue.  This is so exciting!

Crochet Angel Ornament

I made this as a christmas present for a friend of mine, it's a little teal crochet angel.

I've got the Blues...

I've been working on my cross-stitch project on the painted fabric and it's starting to look so pretty already.  Ya'all will have to wait until it is sompleted to see the entire thing though. ;)

caught up with class lessons

I finally caught up in my lessons for my Faery Baby Doll class, just waiting for the next one now!  Here's a pic of the baby parts to this point:

I am making a little ice baby.  She's white and will have blue hair and wings, as well as a blue snowy patterned outfit and her eyes and such will be in shades of blue.  I am so excited to move on to the next lesson!!!  ((doing a happy dance))

Painted Cross Stitch Fabric

I painted some cross stitch fabric today for a project I will be working on in between the stitchalong pieces.  It was one that was given to me in March and I never got around to doing it.  LOL  Here's the fabbie, click to see larger:



The project came with some fabric, but I messed up and have to start it over so I thought I would make some fabbie to go with the awesome design.

Polymer Creations

I finally got around to making a few Polymer items. There are 4 of my 'Peas in a Pod' creations as well as a turtle and a little sea shell.

So excited!

I finished the first row for my Three Ladies Round Robin piece and will be getting it out in tomorrows mail! I am SO excited!! Woo Hoo!

My costume for the party

I had completed my costume for my party Saturday, just in time. I was Leeloo in her thermal bandages. Here is a pic:
