A Little Help


It's been a while since I have posted! I have been busy! Another friend of mine is having a birthday in a couple of days and I wanted to make her something cute but simple! Now, I am going to show you some pics of the things I made. But mind you, when I said A Little Help I meant a lot of help. No, I did not make these things! My dear, sweet mama made these things for my friend! Here are some pictures of the things I made!!!

                                                       My friend wears glasses, so I thought
                                              surely my mama could make a glasses case!!!
                                                       
                                                    Another pic of the glasses case.


                                               This is a little pouch with a draw string!
                                            Very cute! It could hold her nail polish or really
                                                                         anything!
                                                      Right here you can see the drawstring
                                                            and the outside of the pouch.


  The instructions for these crafts were in a book I check out from our local library. If you would like to know how to make these things, go to your local library and look for Hooks and Loops, Beginning Crochet by Donna M. Lightbody. Now just to warn you, this book was made in the 70s, so I haven't been following the colors the author chose because she uses 70s colors!!!
                           






Happy Mother's Day


For Mother's Day, for my Granny, I made her a coaster and a dish scrubber. Now, both of these things I made from scratch. No pattern, no book, or any other sort of instructions. Now this was my first finished project. So, you may think that I did a sloppy job and that they are not neat or even. But here is a picture of the dish scrubber.

Flower Power!


I made some things for my friend for her birthday and they both originally came from a flower. Here are some pictures of the things I made from flowers!


                                      First I made this flower on the 
                                                flower loom.


                                                 Then it turned into a bracelet with a 
                                              flower on it! As you can see, BFF
                                              in beads,  were crocheted into the 
                                              bracelet!

                                      This flower, my mama made also 
                                      on the flower loom.

                                                Then the flower that she made turned into
                                                a hair clip. I love making things!
