Jar cover/coaster

I made this today it is a jar cover. When you don't need the over anymore you can take the ribbon out and use the top as a coaster. Or even a little scrubbie. It is about 5inches so a nice size.
It went up so fast and it was so much fun.

Two different Cuffs



Here are a couple of my Cuffs that I make. The top purple cuff is the basic cuff. The red one is my Puffy cuff. It seems that ladies of all ages just love them. They are great when you are working at a computer desk, driving, or just about anything you need your fingers. Plus I find the younger kids love them because they can keep their hands warm and not have mittens or gloves on.

Hats!














Here are some of the hats that I have made. Some are crochet, knit, loom. I am loving trying out new ideas. Some of these hats I will post the patterns for at a later date. Some I have just sat and made and forgot to write the patterns down. Not a smart move I know lol. So I am going to try and do them again and hope they come out right hehe.

Mothers Day Card



Here is a basic card I made for my mother for Mothers day. I think it is so great to make your own card for someone. It adds that special touch to show you love them and that you took time to make it.

Scrapbook Mini Album











Here is my first attempt at a Mini Album. I made the album out of folded and then cut paper. The size of the outside is 3x3 I added Chip board as the cover. Used some of my paper covered the chip board added ribbon to hold it close. Each page I choice the paper I wanted and cut it 2 3/4 inches square and then added my wallet size pictures and embellishments. It was made for my mother for mothers day (which I gave to her early) and she just loved it. Perfect to put in your purse to carry around and to show off your family. I am so excited to try out some new ideas and some odd shaped ones. We shall see what I can come up with..
