I got a hole in the toe of these cute argyle socks. They were going to head to my dog's sock toy but I thought these are too cute to chew on! So we found a couple of willing volunteers to be our models and we cut up the socks a bit for some plush sweaters. L added a leash and bell to the ensemble!
My adorable niece turned 2 in March and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make her a birthday crown. I was told, although she's not really a hat lover, she wore her crown all through opening her presents and eating cake! It warms a crafter's heart! The other picture is a green cape with gold lining and t-shirt I stenciled with my brother-in-law's charity Greenseed Educational Supplies logo. A fantastic charity that collects gently used school supplies and donates them to schools and other organizations that can use them. I'm sure it will flood the nation in the next few years!
My Everlovin' Sister came to visit me so I crafted her and her wife some nice items. I made some napkins with their initials on it. I also made these cute 'otedama' juggling bags I saw a pattern for in craft zine for my sister-in-law's birthday. And, not pictured, L drew a picture of his Aunt H and I embroidered it onto a bookmark. This idea was seen in mothering magazine and will be in a book called Handmade Home due out in August.
Well that was my own little crafting March Madness. Tomorrow is my first ever Crafternoon! I'm having about 4-6 adults over and assorted kids to do some embroidering. I'll take some pictures and share next week!
You've been busy! I'm still impressed with how quickly you get these out to their oh so deserving recipients.
