Crafts on the go..

 On our travels I worked on a dishcloth I had started at home....

I brought some 'scraps' from 'Quilt for Kids' and was excited to pull out my machine and get started on them. It is nice to have the cutting done as my space is limited here! I'm anxious to see what this scrappy quilt will look like!

There is a mix mash of squares... I divided them into dark and light colours.

I am planning on doing a 'Disappearing 9 patch.... hoping it comes together with the squares I have....

Years ago I saw a cape a lady made... have searched for the pattern...but finally decided to try it on my own...at the time I thought how easy it was... so I found some chunky yarn....

I enjoy having 'projects' on the go here....it is the best time for me to work on a variety of things!

To be continued...sometime:)

Little Lou's Hat

Summer Knit Project

My knitting basket...

Last summer... 

I disposed of all my yarn...

It had been many years since I had the time to knit a project...

This past month I have started to replenish my yarn...

I found this easy pattern on the internet...
so I'm making them for all my girls...

I still have a couple more to do!!

Plus I have been crocheting ...

These pot scrubbers... 

I had cut the material to make them about 5 years ago...

and finally one more to crochet and I should have all the netting used up!

Do you Remember . . .

Do you remember Holly Hobbies?.... 

Well I found a doll dress that I must of cut out 30 some years ago, from material dresses were made for my little girls.

I thought it was now or never to sew up the doll dress.

So it is now finished...after 30 some years....

It will fit the doll I made for Christmas for my granddaughter.

It has been years since I have knit.... 

My little granddaughter brought a Barbie doll the last time she visited. 

I sewed up a few outfits for the Barbie...then remembered I had this pattern....

Do you remember the first Barbie's?.... 

This picture looks like some of the very early ones....

and knitting Barbie clothes is much easier than sewing them....

And I forgot how much I enjoy knitting!
