Felted Flower Bouquet

Well I forgot to take a pictures of our students project before I took it to school and this is the picture I received from the winner. Each student picked a flower, and put it in a bag with dish soap to start felting, I took them home felted them and brought them back to school. Then everyone picked out a button, and a thread color and sewed the button and the other embellishments, and intro to embroidery for 3 year olds. This went for $120.00 and the picnic basket went for $75.00.

Picnic Anyone?

Our Preschool is having a silent auction tonight. All the teachers had to make an item for the auction, and one of the other teachers suggested I make a picnic for 4. So this is it. I would estimate my time at about 30 hours and I retail valued it at $125.00. I didn't have to buy any yarn it is all stash yarn. I used patterns from the Tasty Crochet book, and made them a smaller size to accommodate toddler hands. The basket was 50 cents and the fabric $4.

Anyway I will let you know how much a picnic for 4 is worth.

2 Salami, Swiss Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato on Whole Wheat

2 Peanut Butter and Jelly on White Bread

Apple Wedges, Pear and Apple (4 Carrot Sticks too)

4 Chocolate Chip Cookies

My next post will be, about my students and what they created for the auction.

Preppy Tank

This is the Preppy Tank from Crochet Today Sep./Oct 2007. I made this tank in October in one weekend while recovering from the flu. I made it with Caron Simply Soft, in the Lavender Blue color. I needed something to wear with a sheer yellow button shirt I bought from Old Navy. Eventually I want to make another one with Cotton Ease.

At the last Farmer's Market I sold the Turquoise hat and Scarf from my last post. I am currently working on some scarves, trying to destash a bit. Oh and I have make some butterfly capes for Orla and Kate. Happy Holidays!

Hats, Hats and Hats

I am finally back, I didn't go anywhere I just couldn't fit the computer into my schedule. I was making hats from Mr. Funky's and I sold a couple of hats and have been making many hats lately, with the weather starting to cool here. Now if I can get some of these in my etsy store, as always wip.

Simply Soft Paints, very soft, different from Simply Soft

Caron Spa Yarn, the scarf is a free pattern from Bernat Alpaca yarn. I made this hat in Imagine from Lion Brand and sold it at the Farmer's Market.

Mother and Daughter hats, I used some yarn I bought eons ago.

Birdie

So after I discovered the bunny tutorial, I tried to create a bird, which didn't turn out so well. Two weeks ago I was a crochet group at Barnes & Noble, looking at the new book Crochet Adorned, and I now have a bird. I added my loop to the back for barrettes, then changed the size to a smaller one.
