Ready for March? I am!

I am going to try and make 2011 my best year yet for crafting.  This includes my lucky clover door decoration that just got hung on the front door.  It started as a cut piece of plywood (thanks hubby Dan!) and the edges got a coat of shamrock green paint.  Then, a few different patterns of paper got modge podged onto the front, the edges got trimmed and it was time to embellish.  This one features beads on the the wire, a green silk carnation, a small ribbon bow, and a few buttons.  The finishing touch included gold glitter glue close to the edge of the front.  I can't wait to see it in the daylight tomorrow out on the front door!

More yarn fun

These are a first attempt at knitting.  It really is a challenge to learn how to knit after crocheting for so long, but I guess I can hold my own on basic things.  These are little hand cuffs, fingerless, but with a thumb hole.  The nice part about this project was that it went quick and I didn't have to do it in the round.  I will be attempting a hat that matches, we will see how that goes!

After a long time away...

A new post!!

I have been busy lately playing with different crafts, and have re-fallen in love with crocheting.  This is an ear warmer that I made complete with custom crochet flower and button embellishments.  I sure hope the runner in the family likes it once she gets it next weekend!
