Baskets in 3 sizes

Hello! 
 I hope you're having a better than average day!
Today I'm showing you some baskets that I
crocheted. My friend Becky had shown some on 
Facebook that she had made and was kind enough 
to share the pattern with me.
These are all made with 3 strands of worsted wt. yarn.

The very large one is about 14" tall and about the same
width.  I have a pretty bulky blanket in it and there is
still plenty of room for another one.
The medium sized one is 5 1/2" tall,
the small one is 4 1/2"
Once I knew the "formula" for increasing
the rounds to make the bottom,
I just kind of flew by the seat of my pants
with the sizing.  I love how they turned out.
I think we'll use the big one for something
that needs to be kept here for our
grand daughter, diapers, blankets, extra clothes
whatever.

Thanks for stopping by today, come again soon.
Until then, make something fun.

Twin Onsies and One for Marie

Hello crafty people!
My daughter in law's cousin just had
twins and she wanted to make some onsies for them.
I love what she did for them.
Big Buffalo Bills fans, so she made these for game 
days.
Here are a couple pictures showing the pieces all layered
and positioned on the onsies.
Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) is so easy to work with.
I love how you can layer the HTV and position 
it to see how you like it on the onsie.
Then it just pulls apart to press it on,
layer by layer.
Here they are all done and ready for the twins.
One boy and one girl, by the way.
There was one onsie left from the pack that Sara 
bought, so she decided to make one for 
Marie while we were at it.
Huge Harry Potter fans, so this is the one
she decided on.
Can't wait to make more for that 
little grandbaby of mine!

Thanks for spending time here at my blog,
hope you'll come again soon.
You never know what you'll find on
Kristie Kreates!

2nd Birthday Shirt



Hello blog fans!
Today I have an adorable shirt that I helped my

 daughter in law make.
It was for a little girl's 2nd birthday party.
The party was a Curious George theme and so
was the shirt.
Sara did all the cutting and I did the work with
the heat press.

This is actually the 2nd shirt we made.
The first one, the sizing was all wrong and
George was way too small.
So Sara recut the HTV and we made this one.



Here is the little cutie in her birthday shirt.

And the back.
I think we got the sizing just right on
the 2nd shirt.

Thanks for stopping in today,
I hope you are creating something
wonderful today.
Until next time,
measure twice and cut once.
