Poncho for Kylie

I had this huge ball of Sensations Rainbow yarn in pinks and I had made a couple of hats with it, but then it sat for years taking up space.  Spring is coming and I thought I'd make ponchos for the girls and I finally used this yarn.  I still have a bunch of it left.  It doesn't seem to run out.

Two Barbie Dresses

 I've made what seems like a ton of dresses for Barbie for my grand daughters and I am able to stitch some up without a pattern which these two dresses are made.  I have one grand daughter who loves the dresses and she always thinks they are beautiful and I love making them for her.

I never played with dolls when I was a girl, but I now own two Barbie dolls.  Hey, I have to be able to try on the dresses as I make them.

Crochet flower curtain

 I finished this in December 2012.
I waited a long time to find something I liked to make for this window.  I got the inspiration from Once Upon a Pink Moon.  She has all the information about where she got the flower motif.  I think it was from the Flower Bed.  I swear I have not one creative idea in my head, so thank goodness, there are all these creative crocheters that share. 

My camera is not a good one and therefor takes crappy pictures and for this I apologize.  Soon I hope to get a better camera.

Anyway, I love the curtain and I have gotten  many compliments on it, even from men.  It looks so cute from the outside too.  It took me 2 weeks to finish.

Fingerless gloves

I made these a while ago, probably in the fall and for my grand daughter, using Shimmer yarn.  I forget what the brand is, but it is Shimmer.

Baby Hat

(My keyboard is giving me fits!  The cursor jumps all over the place.)

You can find the pattern here.

Barbie clothes

I have grand daughters and they have Barbie dolls, so, I make clothes for Barbie and I love doing it.

Here are a few I have done. 

I used Caron's Simply Soft, a G hook and patterns I found on the internet.  I use yarn because little girl's fingers are tough on dresses with all the pulling and tugging that goes on.  I sometimes use baby yarn and an E hook.

I also make up my own dresses as it is fun to improvise.

This Election is almost over!

Soon, very soon, Election 2012 will be over!  I couldn't be happier.

I voted 3 weeks ago, so I have been done for that long, but still I had to be bombarded with all the election ads.  Seems I couldn't avoid it.  I rarely have my TV on, but still I saw more than enough of the ads.

I have started crocheting again.  I've been making a lot of scarves and fingerless gloves.  I had half a notion to get a table at the Knights of Columbus garage sale which is held on November 10, but I have done nothing to make it happen.  I don't have my own transportation and having to ask for help is becoming a giant issue to me.  I am so frustrated with not being able to jump into a car, okay, not jump, but still I am frustrated.

I am also thinking I probably wouldn't sell a darn thing and I don't want to go to all the trouble just to end up frustrated.  

I need to take some pictures so I can post them here.  I have a couple things I did take pictures of.

First is a cover for the bottom part of a water bottle I cut for some added support for this container.  I have made 3 of these and use one for Q-tips and one for toothpicks.  The scarf is made of Shimmer yarn by Red Heart, I think, and I made this for one of my grand daughters.  I had made a pair of fingerless gloves in the same yarn.
