Gold/Green Christmas Balls

I am working on a third, and when that is done I will post them to etsy as a set, for $7.00. The balls are actually plastic, so they won't break during shipping.

Yarn Dilemma

I am making a blanket for my new niece. I am using simply soft white yarn.

Wal-mart discontinued selling it sometime in the last 2 weeks.

I don't have enough to finish the blanket.

Now I have to start over with a new yarn. But right now, I don't have yarn money.

Crap!

New Listings

I posted some of my kitchen things in my etsy shop. I am working on a baby blanket for my newest niece, so I haven't been doing much else. I have a few signs cut and carved, I just need to get them painted. I really want to get some holiday stuff up. I bought some balls to crochet, so hopefully i can get some of them done in the next few days.

Christmas Signs

Let It Snow

I am so excited about this sign. I didn't use a stencil for the letters, it's all me!

AND...I added glitter glue over the paint to make it sparkle like snow.

I might just keep this one for myself!

Doing the checkerboard on this was sooo time consuming, but I love how it turned out!

More Key Holders

For Jenn

I used the same ribbon for the bows, but different colors...even though they are twins, they are individuals! I wish this was a better picture...the name is actually purple with a green border...and it's beautiful!!
I have to figure out something to put on the boys...bows and ribbons just won't work!
I hope you love them! I wanted to just mail them to jenn, and totally surprise her, but I suck at keeping secrets! lol!

Christmas Wreath

I used a hunter green yarn to crochet around a form ring. I made the little gifts, hat, and candy canes using a glittery christmas yarn I got on clearance last year. The bow is a little too big, I think, so for the next one I will do it smaller. I like how it is offset and crooked. What do you think???

Hint...

This little santa hat is 1 1/2 inches tall.

Wanna guess what I'm using it for????

For Brandi

For Kasi

This was another dollar tree find. A simple wood box.

I painted it white, then put the initial and dots. The blue ones are actually purple, with pink and gold too. I don't know why they look blue in this picture. I also got one for brandi, that I will do black, gold, and red. Hopefully I'll have that one completed tomorrow.

Birdhouse

I found this cute little birdhouse at the dollar tree, and just had to get one. I mean, for $1, who wouldn't? I painted blue, yellow and purple flowers all around. front

Purple Ribbon Baby Blanket (carseat size)

Help!!!!

Do you like the curly ribbon on the sides? I kinda do, but think maybe it's too much. What do you think?

Wekend Work

I wanted to crochet, but only had leftover yarn. I started this white blanket, then ran out. So I started this off-white blanket, and ran out of yarn again.
So I took the blanket I made for my niece (that she returned), pulled it apart, and started this blanket. I know I'll have enough to finish it, and I'm using a stitch I've never done before, so it's fun. I'm hoping to finish it this week.

Welcome Signs

I don't know why this first one is so dark, but it is the same as the key holder below that has the blue outline with white dots.
