More knitting - getting ready for the Holidays!

I am loving the MS Loom!  It allows a closer knit and turns beautiful projects using finer yarns.

Stylish Hat - great for any big kid. (knitting and purling)

Loving my model's facial expression!

A little knitting and purling and double knitting....

Hat and Scarf Sets for Baby Boys

A few Knifty Knitter projects:



Oh Goodies!

Some treats






Baby/Toddler Couture Hat

I learned to loom-knit about a year ago and Fall inspires me to knit, knit, knit!  This is a hat that I made for my niece.  I used Martha Stewart's Knit and Weave Loom Kit to make it.  I also have the Knifty Knitter, which I love.  The MS one gives you all the looms in an easy to store package.


Baby Girl Books

I love making these.  There are a decorative way of collecting notes for a Mom-to-be to look at for years to come.  Each page has a decorative pocket to hold the note.

Ribbon Rosettes

I purchsed some sheer adhesive for The Rubber Cafe a few months ago and decided to try my hand at some ribbon rosettes.  I must say that I love the adhesive.  It's tacky when dry so it's like a wet and a dry glue rolled into one!


Reflections

My Son's school participates in an arts-based program entitled "Reflections".  I have the honor of being the chair of the committee.  I made this poster to promote the program and encourage participation.

We won! We won the District!

My Son plays Baseball and made the All Star again this year!  We had an awesome season (played and traveled with the team all summer).




Class Summer Buckets

To celebrate the end of the school year for my son's Kindergarten class, I made "Summer Send Off Buckets"....




Graduation Chocolate Pops

It has been awhile since my last post.  Summer is extremely busy.  I did have some time to create (not very much though).

I made these for a friend whose son graduated from Kindergarten.  She gave one to each student.

Nurses Appreciation Week

On last week, we celebrated Nurses throughout the country.  Thank God for Nurses, for they work so hard (I'm grateful for my Doctor friends, too).

Caden's teacher asked me to make a card for the class to sign and present to the school nurse.



I used the Wild Card Cartridge for this one and a flower punch from my stash.

Mother's Day

Mother's love flowers, especially those that can be worn.  This is a pin made of clay that will last forever.


 I can't figure out why this one keeps rotating.

And this is a card that I made for my Mom.  She placed it on an easel for display!

Teacher Appreciation

Last week, we celebrated our teachers.  I came across a few chipboard coasters with nature scenes on them.  I knew they would make a beautiful craft.  I added glossy accents to make the birds and flowers pop.

Some light knitting

It's starting to warm up in the South and I started to wonder, what will I do with my knitting stuff when it gets warm.  So, why not make some light stuff.....

Happy Valentine's Day

Some Valentine's treats:

The Basketball one's are for my son's Basketball Team and the Hearts are for his classmates.




Happy Valentine's Day!

I Love You

Last week, Carrie from thegreenbeanscrafterole was a guest designer at Everyday Cricut on last week.  She made this cute little pin and my wheels started to turn!  I love, love, love shrinky dink!  I make these for several people at church and my son's teachers...


Great idea!  Thanks, Carrie!

Winter Knitting

With all of this winter weather, I found a little time to do some knitting!






Losts of rain lots of snow!

January blessed us with so much rain, snow, and just plain COLD weather!  Needless to say, I was able to find some time to craft.  But first some fun in the snow.....
