New Projects & Patterns & Hats & Foot stool Coversrs

 I designed this lavender hat. It has a pillbox look with a gathered back and some bling on the side, I changed the bling a bit and added a bow behind it. I am going to use the fabric to make a "puff" insert so that it will sit higher on my head. :) I couldn't make up my mind which one to use so I am using one design on one side and the other on the flip side. :) I love the whimsical turtles...I will be writing up the pattern soon.

This foot stool turned out pretty cool I think. I made a granny square changing colors, added some black and white, and then a ruffle on each side, sewed on some black fringe, added several glass beads, fish and cats [Asian design] for the woeight to hold it down. I love the finished one it shows less of the foot stool under it than you see in the photos. I added a little felt and button on the side too.. that's my ""Blooming Flower Pillow" on the rocker. :)

 Some of my plant covers over chicken cans I got the idea from Attic24 and then I added a ladybug and some flowers and stitched some stems and grass.

on me

I tried to get it from the side

too funny check out my eyes I am trying to see it in the mirror to snap the shot

got hubby to snap it from the back

I decided to keep this snood for me and make another for my niece. I added a ribbon and a turtle pin I never wore from my jewelry box. I think it really enhances it. 

I made several finger less gloves and cannot decide which embellishment to use??? The one button the rust colored one is a vintage button, the other is a kitty face, then I have the butterfly one, hmmm decisions. which one do you think looks best???

I made this turkey last  year.

I am making Christmas gifts daily, with not a lot of $$$$ this year most of my family & friends will get homemade items..I am picking out things to make just right for each person. The white and black yarn will be my next pair of gloves. This time in wool and fun fur yarn.
