Valentines Day is fast approaching... any ideas for quick craft projects?

Valentines Day will be here soon and I'm looking for quick projects that I can either sew or knit for my family members. I am especially looking for a knitted felted dog pattern for my littlest guy. Does anyone out there know where I can find one?

Good Friday to You and Knitting for Christmas

I wanted to take a minute and wish everyone a good day today. It's the start of the week-end and the weather has been very nice as of late.

I have been busy trying to finish 2 pairs of socks I started a while back for Christmas presents, as well as a pair of felted slippers and a pair of felted mittens too.

I got this idea for my kids & nieces for Christmas and I hope I can make it work. I have decided to do my own 12 days of Christmas for them. Everyday for 12 days I would like to give them some small homemade thing. It may be a pair of slippers, a pair of mitts, a mug with hot chocolate, etc. you get the idea. I haven't come up with something for all 12 days yet and if anyone out there reads this thing, I am open to ideas. Please feel free to share them and tell me what you think of this idea.

Please keep in mind that they need to be fairly quick to make. There are 8 altogether ranging in ages from 4 to 24 both boys and girls.If I actually manage to pull this off, I may consider doing it for others in the family as well.

Until next time!

It's sooo hot!

Wow it sure is hot these days. I guess maybe it's the humidity that is worse than anything. I can't stand the humidity. It sucks the energy right out of me.

It the meantime,I have been busily knitting away on a sweater for my sister. I still have a long way to go but it is looking pretty good...at least I think so. I am trying to get some Christmas things done now so I don't end up having so much to do when fall arrives. Christmas always seems to sneak up on me and find me unprepared. Of course the more I do now, the more I seem to add to my list. I just love to make things for my family. Heck, I just love to make things. I wish I had a good imagination and was able to design things. I have ideas, but they never turn out.

I wish the other computer was working so I could scan things and post pictures of the things I was making. I guess for now I'll just keep taking pictures and hopefully be able to post them someday.
