some works in progress

here's some things I've made recently and some I'm working on. I made a diaper bag with some cordoroy ladybug fabric (love ladybugs! and so does the new mom) and some burp pads. they don't match, but what the heck!

i'm working on a crocheted granny square throw. I had these yarns and was not sure what to do with them. I loved the colors, but wasn't sure how they would work together. I love how the colors are working...too bad my rows are kinda tweaked, but I still like it. got more pics to follow...

pay it forward part 2

ok, I sort of figured it out, the button is different...but the rules of the game are the same. I did a little copying and pasting, better than not doing anything I guess.
I hope someone (you!) visits my blog and signs up. I will make something cool, just give me some clues of what you like. check out my pics for the types of items I make. I'm kind of all over the place, quilting, making bags, towels, aprons, crochet - mostly scarves, etc

I'm going to post some pictures of works in progress as soon as I find my usb cable for my camera.


The rules are simple:
#1. Be one of the first 3 people to post a comment on this entry. If you are (and you follow the seconf rule), you will receive a gift from me sometime during this year. When and what are a surprise to the winners, but it will be good, I promise!

#2. Then, copy and paste these rules into a post on your own blog & come back and leave the link in comments here.

It's that easy! Only the first 3 folks that leave a comment AND Pay it Forward on their blog will get a prize. PLEASE leave me a comment.....

pay it forward

I signed up with Aunt Pitty Pat for the pay it forward.
I'm excited about it, but I hope I can get 3 people to sign up!

I'll have to leave comments everywhere to get people to
come here and decide if they'd like something from me.

I'll be posting some new pics soon, I've been very bad about posting.
I've been too busy looking at everyone else's blogs.

I don't remember how to add badges to my blog,
so I'll go check out some instructions somewhere.

I received my apron today. my partner sent this apron, a matching hotpad and some beautiful earrings.

holiday hosetess apron

finished the holiday hostess apron swap and its going in the mail tomorrow. I hope it will be worth the wait to my swap partner.

apron recieved

this is the apron I received for the hot drinks for hot mama's

my favorite hot drink is chai tea, so Jean gave me an apron with teapots and cups, and other tea related stuff on it. its so cute! the pockets have lace trim and the bottom hem has beads. way too cute! I brought it to work so I could get a picture and post it finally, and my co workers loved it too!
she also sent a teacup and saucer, some chai tea mix and some chocolate.

new aprons

heres the hot drinks for hot mamas apron I made for Yvonne. i love this pattern, it was hard to give up this apron, I love it. Yvonne said she loves it too. I'm so happy that she loves it as much as I did. i made some towels to match.

I also made this apron for Bertha, she works with me and loves to cook. she makes the BEST salsa, we are always asking her to make it. its the BOMB! anyway, the apron is reversible, the other side is the plaid. this pattern isn't as easy as the other one, so there might not be too many more.

I signed up for another swap, so I need to start working on a sexy, cute, beautiful holiday apron. you can tell I haven't decided on the pattern, fabrics, embellishments yet. it should be a fun one!
