Palm tree vase

Alan paint it this vase at color me mine. You'll never guess who it's for.


Painted pixels with scrap yarn

Alan says this is his favorite so far.  I used up all of my worsted weight yarn and made this.   It took me a few months, but I agree, it is pretty cool.   Now on to smaller projects.

Twilight Basketweave Blanket

I used a gift certificate I got for Christmas to get this blanket.   It only took me a few months and it looks really cool.   It is also very soft and heavy.   I think is blanket is a keeper.

Mary Maxim Bucket Bag

Another kit from Mary Maxim.  This one used Granny Squares as a base.  I don't really care for the colors, but it is an interesting bag.

Toe up socks

These socks are made from the toe up.  They are super fast and super fun to make.


Ruffle scarf


I found this yarn at Walmart on the clearance rack.  I decided to make a ruffle scarf out of it.   Since it's silver black and white I'll probably be wearing it to the raider games.

Magnetic bracelet or necklace

My sisters and my mom went to Knotts Berry Farm and saw a lady selling Magnetic bracelets.  The magnets are used to hold the bracelet together and you can actually use it as a necklace as well.


Kumihumo bracelet

I wanted to try to make another Kumihimo bracelet, so I used a pattern I found online and make this bracelet


Crochet bracelet

This bracelet was made from stringing beads and then crocheting them to make the pattern of mauve and silver.


Earring kit from Christmas



 I got this earring set for Christmas and made them all in one day.  I even made an extra pair with the leftovers.










Purple spiderweb doily

I am still attempting to make a crochet bowl.  It didn't quite work this time so the bowl became a Doily.  I'll try again with a smaller pattern and lighter thread.

Cupcake platter and plate

We had more Groupon's for color me mine so we decided to go back and paint these items.  The cake plate was given to Mariana for Christmas and we kept the platter.



Crystal weave bracelets

These bracelets required me to weave the crystals through beading wire.  The order of the crystals determined the pattern.



Silver and blue jewelry

This kit made quite a few things.  The bracelets are made with stretchy elastic.  The earrings and necklace have Sparkly beads




Teardrop necklace and earrings

This kit was missing some pieces but I used Pieces I had leftover from other kits to complete this set.



Leaf jewelry kit

I decided to do my jewelry kits when we got back from vacation.  This kit had gorgeous gold leaves and made a bracelet and necklace and earrings.


Market Bag

This Kit was waiting for me when I got home from vacation.  It uses granny squares as the base and then a fishnet For the top.  It took me about five hours to make.

49er hat

Richard asked me to make him a 49er hat after he saw the raider hat I made Alan.  Since I made probably 20 of these before it only took me an hour to complete.  Merry Christmas Richard.

Penguin Blanket

Alan picked this blanket out so that I could make it for his brother Jason, who loves penguins.  The blanket was really cute and is an afgan stitch and then the penguins are cross stitched over that.  I think this blanket only took me about a week to make.  I made it in June, but obviously didn't post this until after the new year so that Jason wouldn't get a hint at what he was getting for Christmas!
