Notepad Gift

This sweet little notepad set was a fun gift to make as a Thank You for our children's librarian.  It has a Post-It pad inside and I chopped a pen down to size to make it fit the holder.  Making more of these soon.

Card Making Spurt

Every now and then I do get an opportunity to make and finish a project.  Here is a fun card I created one day along with a friend.  It was one I had been dreaming about for a while and finally got a moment to make.

Lace Crochet Hat - Pinned It! Did It!

Miss D's Crochet Hat

I had a request from a friend to make a hat for her daughter, so I decided to make a couple more for my own daughter and her Hearts 4 Hearts Doll (she got to choose the colors).  These hats are fun and easy to make.  I did alter the finishing to more of a band and added elastic just around the bottom to make it a more fitted hat.  I imagine making lots of these in the future.

My Inspiration

 

Penguin Appetizers - Pinned It! Did It!

My Flock of Edible Penguins

Had so much fun making these little guys for a Christmas party we attended.  My husband even got in on it and helped me cut feet and beaks.  They were so simple and cute!  Next time I think one can of olives will be enough though, here I used two cans (one small, for the heads, and one medium, for the bodies).

Still Knittin

Though the days have been busy I have continued knitting and sold a number of wristwarmers and coffee cozies at our local coffee shop, The Beta.  This set of knit wristwarmers shows a pair in youth and adult size.  Hoping to continue making and selling more during these chilly winter months.

Pallet Wood Signs - Pinned It! Did It!

My pallet wood sign

There are some beautifully done pallet wood signs for the home that I have seen and love on Pinterest.  I created this saying through the custom program for Uppercase Living some time ago.  To create my sign I cut a piece off a pallet and adhered the vinyl lettering.  

The saying is the Latin phrase from Adeste Fideles meaning "Come let us adore the Lord", a song I sing with my kids often.

Crochet Granny Squares Hat - Pinned it! Did it!

My Crochet Hat with Fair Ribbons

The first in a series of items I have pinned on Pinterest and actually took the time to complete.  This one even won ribbons at the fair.  There are so many great ideas out there.  Look forward to doing more!
