Clouds for Clumsy Cloud Gifts

Hello craft lovers!

Today I'm showing you some clouds I made

for my girls and their business.
Their business name is 

Clumsy Cloud Gifts.

They asked if I could make some clouds

to hang in their booth at craft shows.

Of course, I said sure.

I bought a yard of white felt at Michael's.

Did you know that Michael's now sells fabric?
They have some beautiful choices and the prices

are fabulous.

I created a cloud on my computer and printed it out

in 3 different sizes.  The clouds were traced onto the felt

then cut out.

I stitched around the edges with the left over crochet thread

from the doilies I made for them and stuffed them

with a little poly-fil.

I think they are going to look cute hanging in their booth.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you will come again soon.

Until then,

use your talents to make something fun.

 

First Day of School Shirt

Hello crafty friends!

Marie started kindergarten a couple weeks ago.

Hard to believe she is almost 5 yrs old.

I made a shirt for her to have her picture taken in.

It says Class of 2037 on the front and I made an

XL pink shirt, as pink is, at this point, her favorite

color.  The idea is to take her picture in it the

first day of school every year.

When she graduates from high school,

all the pictures can be displayed at her

graduation party or in a scrapbook.

She is very proud of her little wild flower

garden behind her, so this is the perfect place

to have her picture taken.

Gosh I love that little girl!

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

be creative!

 

I Love You Cards

Hello everyone!

Today I'm sharing a couple cards I made for my 

grandbabies.

Every now and then I like to send them cards, just to 

let them know I'm thinking of them and love them.

After all, who doesn't love to get snail mail, 

especially when you are 2 and 4 yrs old?!?!

This card was made for Marie, she is 4 yrs old

and she loved the funny bird I put on the front of

this card.
Inside I wrote, "Flying by to say I love you."

This card was for Asher who is 2 yrs old.

Inside I wrote "Sending you a big sloppy kiss."

He loved the dog on the front.

Both these cards were made with things from my

stash.  I had already stamped the images and 

colored them with colored pencils.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you will come again soon.

Until then,

send someone a card for no reason.

 

Doilies for Clumsy Cloud Gifts

Hello everyone!

My girls, Kelsie, my daughter and Sara, my daughter in law,

have a business called Clumsy Cloud Gifts.

A little while ago they asked me to make them some 

doilies for their display.
These are just 2 of the doilies I crocheted for them.

Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take pictures of the others

that I made for them.

This heart was the last one I made, with the crochet 

thread that was left after making a bunch of others.
I love how it turned out.

This is one of the purple ones I made for them.

It doesn't lay totally flat, but that's okay, as it works for

what they need it for.
All the doilies I made for them, I made up as I went.
I kind of fly by the seat of my pants on these.

They are happy with them and that's the most important thing.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you'll be back again.

Until then,

think something up and make it!

 

Pillows for the Grandbabies

Good day everyone!

Today I'm showing you a crochet project that I did for 

my grandbabies.
One day I has some very small scraps of yarn and Marie wanted

me to make a pillow out of them.  I explained that those

small pieces weren't enough to make anything.
So of course, in her 4 yr old wisdom, she told me that

I could just buy more.  Ha ha ha, of course, I did.
Her favorite color is pink and that's what she wanted.

She also told me she didn't want a small pillow she wanted a bigger

one.  Again, I did what she wanted.  NO! I don't spoil her, not at all!

I used Bernat Blanket yarn for the pillow, so it's 

very soft and hugable.
She loves it!

I couldn't make one for Marie and not make one

for Asher, so I got some yarn for him too.

He loves his pillow and has to have it to sleep with

just like "Moonie" his lion. 
They were simply double crochet all the way and 

crocheted together around the sides.
They are stuffed with "fiber fill"
Now Marie would like a blanket made with the

same kind of yarn, but she wants it to be

in pink and purple.

Asher says he wants one too.
Christmas is coming kids!

I told her that I'd need to buy a lot of yarn for a

blanket, so now she's going to ask Santa for yarn for 

me to make her a blanket.
She'll be surprised when she opens that blanket from me.

Thanks for stopping by today.
I hope you've been inspired in some way and

will come again soon.
Until then,

start working on Christmas gifts.
