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.
