Cecillia's Sweater

Not really what I expected from this pattern. I'm upset as i paid for this pattern, it was confusing to read and had some typos I had to figure out. Didn't turn out as lacy as I would have liked. But all and all I'm sure my beautiful grand daughter wont complain. After all she is only a few months old. Thanks for looking!

My Treasures

Today I helped my MIL reorganize her walk in closet. She had a few things from her Mothers things that she kindly rewarded me with. Although I don't think she thought of it that way as she is a very kind and giving person. These things will be close to my heart as her Mother was a wonderful person too. I feel very special to have received them. And look what treasures they are even a learn to crochet book by Susan Bates! I feel like I struck gold!!! Also she had 2 beautiful cape type poncho's she had knit years ago for her Mother. She was gonna give them away but I couldnt let her! They will be pictured later on my blog soon! She did a beautiful job!

Knitting needle toppers

Finished Slippers

I do love the way these turned out, they were the practice pair so I could make my mistakes on them. I did learn to cut them a bit bigger at the top of the foot and the part that goes around the foot. Barbie loves these reguardless and is wearing them now. :) So it makes it all worth while!

Mary Jane Slippers

ok here is the link i found http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2007/01/craft_pattern_podcast_repurpos.html Not quite finished as i need to add snaps to the sides they say to use vlecro but I like the snaps better. I did learn i need to cut them out a bit more for the toe area to cover the toes. Will have to go to the fabric store to get them. still working on #2 slipper but learned from these and am working on another pair for Jadens sister, dont want her to feel left out! Im useing a free pattern from online but have (as always) altered it to fit what i like. Thanks for taking a look!

The children all played in the sprinkler and had a wonderful time. Baribe recived lots of very nice gifts. We got her a bike that her dad took her to the store and let her pick out. thanks for reading and shareing part of my life.

Mikia's Dress

LOL But im so pleased it fit her, well its a little big but she may be able to wear it next yr too!!! Thanks for looking!
