Storage Idea

Needed room for some of my yarn. My sons girlfriend left me an over the door shoe holder when they moved out. I am lucky if i have 4 pairs of shoes that fit in it. So i decided to sort my dishcloth yarn when i go my 2009 quarterlys. and this is the result .

First dishcloth of 2009

The first dishcloth of 2009. Kind of makes me want to go ice skating. I am looking forward to the next one and i will be doing others in between the KAL's.

Necessity the Mother of Invention

Well as we all know i enjoy crafts. Sometimes this can be a handy thing. Like the title says. Need a costume for your one year old? Well its amazing what you can do with some yarn and a crotchet needle.
Yes it wasn't a quick solution but for a single mother on a very tight budget it sure worked and i think it was the best costume he has ever worn for halloween.

Ok are we all wondering why i took a picture of a cosmetic plastic pouch from my Mary Kay kit. Well i am no longer doing Mary Kay so i need to do something with it. My mother would have a cow if she knew i threw a possible craft project out. Everything has a use somewhere some how.

Well i never knew just how true this would be. It was June and the kids wanted to go to Laconia. It was bike week and i hadn't gone in a few years so i was all excited. Well incase some of you are not familiar with this event. There are thousands of people crowding the area. As you can see from this picture its a bit of a crowd.

Well the morning we where ready to go. I realized i didn't have anything to carry my money,camera, and other things in. All i had was a large over the shoulder bag. Well then i saw that little plastic bag and my mind was in full gear. I had a purse about half and hour later. Take that little clear bag, a pair of old black pants that have been torn and are used for patches that are laying around, and the draw string to your sons or friends left behind swim trunks. and thats all you need.. you have a small clutch purse. I have to admit i used it more than that one day and still grab it when i just need a small clutch.

there are a few more of my ideas to come in the future. I just need to get some pictures.

Winter Days

Well as most of you know i have been on a vacation due to the university closure for winter break. Well what is one to do one these cold and snowy days? Relax is a good idea and what better way to do that than knitting. I had made this hat for the holiday parade downtown.

Well needless to say that after people saw mine I was asked to do others. I am awaiting a picture of the one i did for a friends daughter. This next picture is of a hat i did for Joey's girlfriend. It is kind of a cross between two patterns. The pink and yellow kind of blend together in the picture.
