Adventures in Cup Cozies on the Road - Dec 2015

This last Christmas my husband and I did some traveling and, naturally, I brought my crafting supplies. I brought some orange and black yarn I wanted to make some cup cozies plus some other yarn. This is the fruits of those long hours traveling:

Adventures in Quilting - Dec 2015

For this last Christmas, I decided to make quilts for my niece and nephew. Each quilt has a personalized, hand embroidered "tag" and matching tooth fairy pillow. The two pillows are about the same size, but the quilts are different sizes. Since my nephew is 1 and my niece is 3, I decided to make a quilted baby mat for my nephew and a kid-size quilt for my niece. This was a very rewarding endeavor.

Here you can see my nephew's pillow up close. "ALEX" is hand-embroidered into the pocket cloth.

I couldn't resist this panda and polka dots material! Since my sister-in-law said my niece changes her mind on what she likes pretty often, it seemed like a great option. She loves her new pillow and blanket.

Below are a variety of pictures that show the individual squares where I quilted the patterns into the fabric. The first one is from before I added the border, but you can kind of see the quilting in the light pink squares.

Above: cupcake.

Below: flower.

Above: star.

Below: butterfly.

Above: cherry.

Below: on the back side the butterfly overlapped the embroidered "tag," which I thought was a nice effect though totally unintentional.

I hope you enjoyed this post! It was a pleasure to share!

Blessings and Peace!

Adventures in Amigurumi

I find it rewarding to create and some of my favorite creations have been Amigurumi. Below are three amigurumi I finished a few months ago: a Jesus doll and two versions of a piggy. Two of these were special orders, making them extra special to me, and the third sprang from one of those special orders. I am happy that I was able to make Amigurumi satisfactory to my customers and appreciate the opportunity to work with such wonderful people.
