Arts and Crafts

Since I wasn't doing anything I thought I would show you some of my winter crafts.

This is  one of the rugs I made for Julie and Kelly for Christmas.

It is made from material that Grammy bought YEARS ago and I am fairly certain she bought all they ever made.

There are BOLTS of this fabric around and she made everything from dresses to purses to quilts and bed sheets from it.

It was sentimental and kind of funny to give these rugs at Christmas.

I also took two plates of Grammy's Desert Rose china pattern and made clocks.
Mike went to Home Depot and bought a diamond drill bit to drill the hole and we bought the clock guts at Joann Fabric.

Cool huh?

I made this Afghan for Wendy.

A late Christmas present and early house warming gift

This is a blanket I made for Mike and Julie's 25th wedding aniversery.
It's called "waterfall" and I finished it with a little fringe on each end.
It's made with Liond Brand Home spun yarn so it's REALLY soft :)



This is the afghan I'm working on now.
It's six giant granny squares in two repeating yarns.
Julie calls it my "camo" afghan, but she's dumb.
It's a "variegated earth tone" and bright white.
I think it will not only be pretty, but also handy when hiding in the woods during a snow storm.



I'm also working on another rug.
It's a T-Shirt rag rug made from t-shirts I bought at the good will.
I love the colors, I call it the "chicken rug".
