My First Craft Project

I signed up for a monthly craft project (as well as the crochet projects).  The first project that came was a painting project (which I'm not so good at).  I still tried it anyway.  The bird house turned out cute.  Now I just have to figure out who to give it to.

Scarves

Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I got back from my trip with JoAnn, I got this set of scarf patterns in the mail.  And wouldn't you know it, one of the scarf patterns was the one I made for JoAnn.  So now I have another.

This scarf is similar to what I made JoAnn.  

This ribbon scarf was a litte more difficult to make.  Sometimes the ribbon got tangled and it was an interesting yarn.  It took me 3 - 4 hours to make.

This scarf was my favorite, but I ran out of yarn.  I still think it looks great, though it's supposed to look symmetric. I was a little upset and soon after I finished the project, I received an updated set of instructions in the mail that would have made the scarf a little better.  I might make a couple more of these now that I have the right instructions. :) 

Shopping Bag

This shopping bag was fun and fast to make.  It took me only a couple of hours and turned out great.  I'm thinking about lining it so I can use it for my Walmart runs.  (Our Walmart doesn't have bags, its a provide your own bag).

Plastic Bag Holder

This was another Annie's Attic project.  It turned into a great plastic bag holder.  I love the colors and may end up keeping this project.  This one took a couple of weeks as I was traveling.

Another Annie's Attic Project

This was a project that came from Annie's Attic.  It was supposed to be a table runner but it's a little small.  The ribbon was beautiful and made the runner look amazing once it was in.  It took about 5 hours.

First Locker Hook Project

I was cooking (I know a shocker) and I saw this pot holder in the drawer.  I had forgotten that I had created this short project to see if Locker Hooking was something to try.  I ordered the Latch Hook material and then went to the clearance bin at Walmart and bought the material.  A couple of hours later was the pot holder.  It was really fun and fast :)
