Completed projects

I have two projects that I just finished up.

First, some play food for my friend Karen's (KWAB's) little girl Freya.


There are two crocheted sandwich cookies, two knit strawberries, three knit sushi rolls, five baby carrots and a lettuce leaf. I hope Freya likes them!

Next up, stockings for the girls. Mary's is the red and pink. Ellie's is the red and green.


And now, I don't know what I'll do next. I can't stand that. There's nothing I'm itching to make. I want to make myself some fingerless gloves. I want to make Mary a sweater. I want to make some Christmas stuff. Or maybe I could just take a break from crafting and actually clean my house. Just kidding!

Would you like cookies with that?

After you finish your hamburger, you should have some cookies and tea. Two of the cookies are for Mary, and 4 of them are being shipped off in the mail this afternoon. These cookies are my last yarn project for a while. I am going to drag out the sewing machine and try to make some diapers for the baby. I am not the world's best at sewing, so who knows if anything will actually come of trying.

We are also working on an old hutch that Mom gave me. It has a beautiful natural finish on it, but the shelves are so warped that the hutch can't be used anymore. I want my vintage Fiesta in it, but every time we walked by the hutch everything banged and rattled so much I took it all out. So the hutch is in the garage. John's going to put new shelves in it and work on the doors and drawers. Currently they are all so out of square that they don't shut right. Then we are going to paint it white so that the Fiesta will show up better. I'd like to add lighting, but the lights I want are a bit expensive so that will have to wait. I hope to get started with sanding it tonight.

Anyone hungry?

If you are hungry, I could make you a cheeseburger with tomato, red onion, and lettuce. But, it would take about 3 days to make it. So I hope you don't mind waiting:).

I made this one for Mary. She LOVES it. I gave it to her piece by piece as I finished them. Yesterday she took the cheese, tomatoes and lettuce to the store with us and we "ate" them as we shopped. Then we lost a tomato. I've already made a replacement. Thank goodness for scrap yarn!
