I'm Back .... are you there?

Hello Friends,

I've been missing and I'm sorry.  I have been crafting and thought I'd share a few things I've either made or are making lately.  If anyone is out there ... leave a comment and I'll send a little surprise to one or two.

I'm making a scarf with the new Starbella yarn - which is very netty.

You use the non finished side to crochet from and it gets kind of lacy as you chain down the yarn.  Cool huh?

These cards are goodies I made at a recent weekend at the Scrapbooking Cabin in WVa.  It was a great time and very productive.

Hope to post more of what i made that weekend in the next few days.

Soon - Chrisi

It became a scarf....

Hello, I made one granny square to see if I could learn how.  So then I wanted to practice.  I made eight.

I learned to connect them and my aunt suggested that I go around w/ a single crochet to finish it off.  GREAT idea!  That made it look finished.

I think that for my first, it came out darned good.  I used tutorials on You Tube by Mikey of The Crochet Crowd.  Great knitting and crochet patterns.

Enjoy!

Look - I Made a Granny Square!

Hello, I learned to crochet a granny square on Sunday.  I've now made eight of them and connected them to make a scarf.  I'm now going to edge the whole thing in grey and then I'll posted n updated pix.

Hope you like it - Chrisi 

A Christmas Suprise (shhhhh)

Hello,

It's been too long!  It's a 2012 goal to post more.

This is a Christmas surprise for my sister (shh don't tell her - she'll get it tomorrow).

It's a wreath made of Crayola Crayons.  It took about 110 crayons and they are glued to a pressboard wreath form.  The ribbon is glued to the front and I haven't figured out what type of hanger to put on the back.  It is heavier than I thought it would be.

I hope you (and my sister) like it!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Making gorgeous papers!

Hello,

I had a class yesterday at Angela's Happy Stamper with a guest artist Zana - we made the most beautiful papers and our final projects came out so pretty!

Enjoy! (sorry I can't figure out how to turn this pix around). Thanks - Chrisi

A strange wedding card ....

Hello,

I was asked to make a wedding card for a couple that enjoy gambling together so I got to thinking - BOMBSHELL Stamps! Ok perhaps an unusual card for a wedding, but I think it turned out pretty cool.

The paper is from Paula's Kit Club (rip), the sentiment is from Club Stamp and the stamps are from Bombshell Stamps. I added a little sparkly Stickles to the diamonds to make it bling.

Since I'm still home recovering this week I hope to have more posts soon. Enjoy - Chrisi

Expect Great Things!

Hello,

What a great idea - EXPECT GREAT THINGS! I do believe if you think more forward and less backward it'll be real.

So lets try that for a while.

This card is a going away card for someone leaving the office where I work. It built itself more than it was designed.

Enjoy, Chrisi
