Whatcha Think?

Well this is what I did today, whatcha thing? Does it look like the one I bought down below in the previous post?
I did this Purple one first and then did this what I thought was Sea Foam green but I'm thinking its a very light Sage Green. Sorry I don't have better photo's.




I do think next time I will try to find just a bit thinner of a towel, had alittle problem on the roll up..lol but I did get it to work.

Crafts- This is a Craft Blog Afterall

Getting more back to the "craft" portion of this blog..lol Do you remember this? Well here it is all done!



This took a long time to dry though I don't suppose my pockets helped any in the drying process..lol I love how much it holds and I can put more than one book or magazine in it too. I just don't like the handle. It makes it buckle and bulge in the middle, so I will have to come up with some ideas how to fix that before I cut off the handles and redo ...lol Also here's a crappy view of the inside pocket part. At least I have a while to get it fixed before it needs to be a gift.
I did wind up with lots of leftover yarn from this so I made another felted Yarn Bag which I just finished up. Now just have to felt it. I put an inside pocket on plus sewed a D-ring to it also, so I have a place for keys or cutesy key change pen. I'm hoping this one will turn out taller than the last one as I'd like to just be able to take one bag on bowling nights.
Here is a pic of the yarn bag before as its ready to be washed today whenever I get to that part..lol Trying to catch myself up some.
Now I have another project that I'll be doing if I can figure it out, which I'm sure I can, that I am good at. Its an easy put together from what I can tell.
Thursday night another bowling friend and crafter brought this cutie in along with some others. She was at a craft fair trying to sell her items and had a couple left over. Isn't this cute! Yes, I bought one, couldn't resist and it gives me something to make for Birthdays! I need to get busy on one as I have a birthday on Wednesday I need one for. I already got my towels for it, just need to dig out a few fancies to pretty them up! Thinking this will be a monthly project to do.
Think that's all I have to share as far as crafts..I have a good pic of Lady but will wait for doggie day to post that...we have a coco pic too ;)
Well need to get busy here, Lady is voicing her wanting outside..dang that hurts when she does it in my ear! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

Another FO!

Wow, I do believe I am feeling lots better!!! I seem to be back on a crochet roll again!
I've manage to get all my Feb goals that I listed from the Year long Gift-A-long finished!
My last project was this Beaded Basket. My jute was alot bigger then what the pattern called for and I wound up using a size N hook, but I have to work from stash :) I didn't have 14 big beads so I did wind up spacing what beads I did find alittle further apart so that I would have enough. They called to sew the beads on afterwards, but I crocheted mine in as I went. This is what mine came out to look like.


This was really fun to do and didn't take too long to do either. I did find a second roll of darker jute of the same size, but I don't have any more BIG hole beads so have to figure how to do without the bead space they do, so I can make another one later. I was really sruprised at how my hands didn't hurt from the jute, it was actually pretty nice to work with in crocheting it.

So guess I'll move on now to work on my last Quarter Challenge item and maybe even do some macrame. I found I have lots of cording :) Too bad I don't have a bigger hook, I could make more baskets..lol They'd make a nice gift filled with different things.

You all have a good Friday and have a great weekend!!
