Crocheted Market Bag





Two more Skeleton T-Shirts for Halloween 2008 for my Husband


Back View of my Husband's Skeleton Face T-Shirt






Here is the front view of my Husband's Skeleton Face T-Shirt. I bought both a black and white T-shirt his size, washed them both and the white one shrunk quite a bit. What I'm supposed to do is tuck the black T-shirt inside the white T-Shirt with the Skeketon's Face features cut out so you'll see the black t-shirt through the eyes, nose and space between the teeth. My Husband was cleaver enough to have me cut off the front of the white t-shirt, sew it in front of the black t-shirt and the cut-outs from the white t-shirt, sew them on the back of the black t-shirt. The shirt turned out nicer, plus he didn't want two layers of t-shirts which it would have been if I followed the instructions closely, but I couldn't because of the white t-shirt shrinking. I liked my Husband's t-shirt a little better than mine, but I was still proud of both t-shirts. Since I get cold easy, it worked out.

Bat Wing Shawl


I learned this pattern from one of the Members at the crochet guild I belong to. The lady that taught us this stitch had found instructions on line how to create this stitch. I bought 4 each 4 oz bundles of wool/ tencil blend fibers, spun it up and created this shawl. I'm ready to make a 2nd one. I like the way this shawl hugs your shoulders and it doesn't fall off as easy compared to other shawls.

Amulet Treasure Pouch in Simple Looping

Amulet Treasure Pouch is made of Waxed Linen Cord except for the black one. It's just plain linen cord that's thicker which why the black amulet bag is larger. Learned how to make these from a co-member of Spindles N Flyers in one of our 4-in-the-corner workshop meeting. Hard to stop making these once you learned.

Woven Throw made on my Sprigg Adj 5 Ft Sq Loom and Pillow


Cross stitched woven pillow form with a lamb from left over yarn used to weave the throw.

Two Crocheted Teddy Bears from a pattern created by ThReAdTeDs


This Teddy bear was made from the same pattern as the first teddy bear with the doll. I didn't enter this one. I made this as a practice on following the pattern. Crochet Cotton thread was used to make this bear.



This Crocheted Teddy Bear was done from wool yarn I spun myself. The doll she's holding is made from cotton crochet thread and I won a 1st place blue ribbon on this teddy bear back in 2008 at the San Mateo County Fair.

Purchased Blanket with Crocheted Edges


Store bought Blanket with Crochet on the Edge I did for my younger Sister for Christmas 2009. She loved it and it's very warm.
