Two Crinoline Girls and Two Potholders/Hotpads

Sharing a few finished items. The first two are crinoline girls. You can find the patterns at www.crochetmemories.com The first is an angel in #10 crochet cotton, made for a friend and the other is just a spring girl made with bamboo lightweight cotton.





The next are two potholders or hotpads I made for swap. The first is a snowman potholder - the pattern designer is by Doni Speigle and you can find her patterns on Etsy and Ravelry.

The other one is just some dc's formed to a mat and then two reindeer with a tree - I just searched for fridgie patterns and manipulated them to work for this hot pad.





Be back soon.

Many items completed!

Well I have been saving up and I have a few things to share. Some are holiday themed, some are older items that I could not share till they were "gifted" to the person who received them, and some are just things I forgot to post! Here they are in no order whatsoever......

First is a bunch of 12" squares for two tote bags that were being given to the list leaders of one of my groups. I used various patterns found on the internet.

Next is an outfit I made for a 5" itty bitty baby doll I received as a gift. It didn't come out the way I wanted it to - but it looks okay for a first try at something like this - especially this little.

Next is a plastic bag holder I made for a friend for her grandchild's nursery room. It came from a leaflet entitled "Bag Ladies" - I did make some changes to the pattern.

Next is a Lovey - also called a snuggie, snugglie, etc. It is for a child to carry and cuddle. I grew up calling them security blankets. This pattern is from an etsy shop called Petals to Picots.

Next is a scarf I have made many times. I call it the "Rose Folded Scarf" because someone shared on a blog or Facebook that you could roll it up and it looks like a Rose! I think it does and it makes a stunning gift. It was from a Joann's tear off sheet pattern.

Next is a chicken shaped discloth. I saw a charted pattern on a foreign language website and tried it out - I haven't worked out all the kinks on it but I hope to soon. I've lost the website address - but I'm trying to find it again to share.

Next is another dishcloth. It is one from Maggie's Crochet - called Swirl. I liked working it up.

This is a sweet and easy shawl to make. I made if for someone going through a hard time. You can find the pattern at Popelkalida. I show a full back view and then a back view of it folded around the person.

Next is my Pumpkin House. I had a lot of fun making this for my holiday decor. I got the pattern at this shop Crafts for Angels Designs

And last is my Teddy Bear filet baby blanket. It is from a book I've had for years, but to be honest I have the page copied out and I can't remember which book it is from! I will look and see if I can update this post with the name of the book.

That is it for now - wow that was a lot!

Prayer Shawl and Angel Bag Holder

Here are some of my newest finished projects. First is a prayer shawl I made for a friend who is having some difficult times. I did it in Caron Simply Soft yarn in heather gray. I am sorry but I am unable to share the pattern - it was a test for someone and they have not yet issued it for publication.

Next is a grocery bag holder. You know how all those plastic bags get used one way or another? Well this is an adorable angel one! I purchased the pattern at Cute Crochet

That is it for today - now off to try to make a baby cupcake hat! Been having all sorts of issues with different patterns!

Dishcloth and Potholder

Recently I joined a new group, new to me, and signed up for a swap. It was one potholder and your favorite recipe. Well of course I did more than that, not too much, just a little bit.

First is the dishcloth. The pattern if from America's Best - I got it as a tear off from a store.

Now the potholder. The pattern is called Broken Dishes and I found the pattern in an older magazine.

That is it for today. Thanks for looking!

Drop in the Pond Lapghan and Sailboat Wall Hanging

Hello - well I am back with a couple more completed projects.

The first one is a Sailboat Wall Hanging I made for a friend's grandson. I had such fun making this - searching for beads, and heart shapes and the actual crocheting and then putting it all together! I found the pattern here at Sail Away

Second and last for today is a lapghan called Drop in the Pond. I did it white, red and black. I think it is a striking color combination. I donated it to our local nursing home and they are going to raffle it off! Such a blessing. I found the pattern at Drop in the Pond

Thanks for looking!

Two Baby Blankets and A Clam Family

I have a few shares for today.

First is a baby blanket I made for the NICU of a hospital near a friend. She donates items to them and I sent her a few blankets to add to her gift. The blanket is from this site - Baby Car Blanket

Next is a weave looking blanket. This is from a Leisure Arts book that I currently can't find - but if I do I will share the booklet's name.

And last for today is a clam family! There are two blue boys and two pink girls! I am trying to name them, but so far can't seem to come up with names that fit them. One girl and one boy will be leaving our little family soon to take a trip all the way from our home in Tennessee to meet their new family in New Hampshire. The girls are very special due to their rare gold sparkled shells and the boys, being a rare blue, also with those gold sparkled shells are extremely rare and sought after - but they will be safe with our friends/family and we know they will be well loved for years to come.

The yarn is gorgeous Red Heart Shimmer and the pattern is called "Clarence the Clam" and is available on Etsy.

Thank you for always looking and encouraging me.

Basket, Bear Ami and Baby Blanket

Hi there! It has been a bit but I have been busy with things away from crafts for a bit - but all is okay now. First is a basket I made for a friend. It was my own design by the flower is from Bonita Patterns - it is called Croco Flower.

Next is a little baby bear I made for another friend. I found the pattern at Crafty Expressions. Mine didn't even come close to hers but the friend said she liked it, so hopefully it's all okay in the end.

And last is a blanket I made for a NICU unit. A friend of mine donates a bunch of items to them monthly and I offered to make a few items for her to add to the box. I found this pattern at Lisa Lately's Blog. She called the blanket Easy Baby Blanket.

That's all for now - be back soon, hopefully
