One for me myself and I
I crocheted this Top with one of my absolute favorite yarns Cotton Bam Boo from Classic Elite Yarns ...THAT IS NOW DISCONTINUED :(. I got the yarn at my favorite yarn store in Colerain
SOFTENS THE HEART and while I was shopping for yarn I bought 2+....(secret amount) delish cupcakes from A SWEET LIFE. So this top is just plain a favorite.

Summer project is done
Crocheted summer treat.
Pattern Is Classic Elite . SURF'S UP. Pattern calls for CEY Firefly but I used Vail 6416 Parchment. Worked great. Sweater is very light.
This pattern was a lot of fun...well...the mesh part was not THAT fun, but it was quick. Finishing was easier than I first thought.

From I DO to I NAME YOU...........I made a christening dress for a baby out of a wedding dress
This project turned out a little "trickier" than I anticipated. The bride had a great time at her wedding........it was a challenge to find a whole piece of fabric larger than a yard that did not have a seem or a stain.
a lot of sheer material...but again....There is a lot of evidence It was a fun wedding.
Finally, I am getting somewhere. This is the fun part. Little challenging to cut, the fabric was layered with a satin on bottom and a sheer on top I could not separate it due to seems holding the panels the skirt was divided into.
Bodice..........I decide to layer the satin to get some body :)
...saving the lace to add details....
The whole time I am working on the little dress I am thinking....I cannot poke myself with the needles , that would be a disaster to stain it. The last morning I am working on it I am sewing little buttons on in the back and I do not pay attention that I had poked myself and..wham....a blood stain. Gaaahhhhhh.....But I pull out my best friend and savior. ..Tide stain removal pen and voila.....stain takes a hike.

This morning
After enjoying a cup of coffe I took the dogs ...yes all three of them.... for a walk.
I usually just take one at the time, it is easier that way. When they go all three they think they are all THAT.
They pull and they bark at every poor pooch we pass. Anyway they behaved over expectation today and it is a beautiful morning.
the sun is out shining bright and I take that any day. Before our walk we........miss Libby and I.....finished a tote. We used a super cool upholstery fabric. New York New York.
...lots and lots of pockets

Paris
Bought the fabric months ago, just loved it but had no Idea what to do with it. Spring came along and....Of course...... I need a black and white bag??
Well, anyway, here it is and I managed to do one thing I have not done before I TWISTED THE HANDLE. Gah!!!!There is no do-over this time I will just live with a twisted handle. It will probably drive me crazy but there are little pills for that right?

a Snow day.....
The snow is falling. My friend does not appreciate is as much as I do. He does not do crafts and that's why.
You can never have to many KISSES.

This adorable lil' Owl "kiddy" purse I found here at Mama G's Crafty blog. I loved making it. A fun, fast project where I used a miniscule part of my mountains of scrap yarn. I am filling it with candy and giving it to a little friend for easter.
