Cherry pie for dessert. I was trying to learn 'bobbles'. They are not pronounced enough for what I really wanted. I'll keep making pies until I can get it.

Crochet beaded necklace. I've made several of these, but they are hard to photograph. So fun to make and look great. (thanks neck model)

Two more ruffle skirts. She still won't wear the birthday one, but she liked the fairies right away.

Lip balm. This stuff is great. Our first try was a success. We will 'tweak' the recipe a bit next time. Maybe add some color and a few other minor changes. We got all raves from our 'testers'. I love knowing that everything we put in there is real. No artificial stuff like the store-bought kinds. If you'd like to try some just email me and I'll put you on the list for the next batch.


UUUGGGHHH! I've been trying to teach myself how to make socks. The toe is great, the heel is pretty good, the rest? eek. I ripped and reknit so many times...It is small/baby sized so I can get the hang of the techniques. I will keep trying.

Making these baby hats is a great way to use up soft yarn for quick small projects to donate. I've tried the same pattern in the round and flat with seaming. Oddly, I think the seaming goes faster.


A few waterproof zippy bags. These are so quick and easy, and I still put off making them. Not sure why...
