Thank you for the picture! This rock was sitting in the bottom of a friend's rock collection waiting for some fun. I've wrapped the rock in some wire and poof! It's a necklace for all to see.
If you click the picture it gets larger to show detail.

A felted bowl. Seems ok, but I am not totally loving it. Something about felting, I'm just not a fan yet. Yarn leftover from a soaker, dyed by me.

Another little girl pleated dress. I have 2 more to finish from this batch. This has been my favorite fabric to work with. It is not the cutest, it just has a nice feel and weight. Such a difference working with better quality fabrics.

A very colorful crochet necklace made from Trellis. It looks great in person with the vibrant colors. Thanks to a friend for teaching me how to make it.

A quick dress. The pleats completely blend in with the fun fabric.

Here is my first attempt at needle felting. These are coasters. They may actually end up as embellishments-maybe. Not a craft that I'm likely to do often.

They may not look thrilled, but I am!!

YAHOO!! 84 diapers! This is the largest box I've sent yet, to Miracle Diapers! Thanks to a couple of friends who tossed in a couple too! I think I'm going to take a break from sewing diapers and work on some other projects for a while.

Banana bread. I'm no expert, but I have gotten loads of compliments over the years for them. I like to make a few at a time like this, but we usually eat the bananas too fast.

I didn't 'make' these, but I did cut out a ton of these bodies and outfits for the kids to play with. They are so fun and cute!










Two new pairs of socks with cute homemade buttons! They are much easier to match this way.



Here is some I dyed, worked into a soaker.

My first time making 'daisy chains'. I also made a bracelet size but she stuck that on her head too.
I can't believe how large the daisies in Missouri are! Next time, we are packing a flower press in our suitcase.
