An online gallery of my stuff

I drew this 7 years ago, I was pleased with it then, and am still pleased with it now, but hope I can improve on the next one I do.

Project: Matching Hats

Pictured here are two stunningly cute sisters! I couldn't resist and had to crochet them matching hats! I used the same pattern from the "Crocheting for Dummies" book, the yarn I used made this project take a little longer, I can never seem to see the stitches.  I made these during conference, which 1. kept me alert, and  2. also busy! Thank you Mindy!

Project: Business

So, I'm starting a business, my MIL came across some beautiful scarves and I had to jump on this.  I've been looking to join a festival and sell these little gems to beautify the population.  I can't really sell them in Summer, b/c who wants to stay extra warm when it's 100 degrees outside! These scarves are a pure silk and or cashmere blend.  They are beautiful.  My favorite one out of these two, b/c I only have 2 in my possession right now, is the green one.  It goes SO well with my brown coat, and the blue one, I wore at church with a black dress-STUNNING!  I'm looking for possible venues, but have not been completely  sold on any one.  I'm open to ideas and suggestions, I hope to be able to sell some of these this fall!!

As far as price goes...I'm not sure, I know some of these are big enough to be a small table cloth, or used as a runner.  So right now I'm looking at $20 a piece, until I see them and can better price them!

Project: Headband

Okay, this one was more of an experiment.  I was at Tai Pan Trading and saw something like this, I didn't really know what it was or anything, I just saw it really quickly on a model head and tried to recreate this headband thing.  I like it, but it needs to be refined more.  The flower gets stretched when you tie it on from both ends of the flower.  I wore this a couple days in the house, but was not totally comfortable rocking it outside.  Austin made a comment that I look like a Junior High girl.  So in order to look older, I don't wear it.

Project :Bird Houses

These little gems were fun to paint, only $1.00 @ JoAnns and they add a little accent to the house. The blue one was sort of a watered down look so that the natural wood shows through, the middle is more of a German tribute (notice the shingles on the roof) and the red one I put brown over the top of it to give it an aged look.  With the limited talent I have in acrylic painting, I'm pretty pleased with these, I have 2 more to paint, but have none ideas...suggestions?

Project: Tree Skirt

This project was a little more difficult than I thought, esp. since I did not use a pattern.  In the end it's not that bad.  Of course, this is not the end piece...I kind of ran out of time, and needed to use my tree skirt for Christmas last year.  I'm ready to continue this project come December to get me in the Christmas mood.  I want to add different scenes to each corner with material.  I also want to add batting inside to hopefully give this girl more of a back bone.  In the end, I love this thing, and can't wait to get working on it again!!

Project: Handbag

Okay, this project was SO easy, and so versatile!! I'm sure you've heard of it before.  This is a placemat bag.  I took a placemat and sewed down the edges, and then sewed in 1'' from the sewn corner, so I have 2 seams on one edge and they are perpendicular to each other, then add some handles, anyway you like 'em, add some fun embellishments, a bow, flower, whatever and here you have it a placemat handbag, I use this one for Sundays, nice size for my scriptures! Have fun!
