Craft Time

My job has been a little pretty much a pain in my ass stressful as of late. So I thought to get into the holidays and to save my self money I would make everyone's gifts this year. I'm not sure if it really is saving me money per say since I keep buying yarn, but I am enjoying the things I'm making AND I even was paid for 2 items I made on request!


First up...baby booties with matching hat.A friends niece is having a baby and asked me to make her some booties and hat.

A Sheepskin dog bed with fleece back to it for easy cleaning. This was for my friends little bichon who doesn't handle the cold well anymore. He peacefully sleeps his days away now with no shivering! The fur is actually a dark brown, but the lights in my office with the crappy phone camera made it look weird.

A beanie to keep my friends grandson warm through his battle with testicular cancer at age 20.

Hat and Scarf- A gift to my friends son who LOVES hats and scarfs. He told his momma the other day "Athena doesn't get to wear it anymore!" LOL. Athena modeling the projects.

And now I am working on a blanket for my sister who has ovarian cancer :( I should finish it soon. Going on a road trip with the dogs to WA to see my aunt for Thanksgiving next week so I will have lots of down time to get it done! I was also comissioned to make 2 more sets of booties! So I will be working on those as well before January. PLUS the hats I have in mind for the rest of the family. Good thing I crochet fast!

OH and Gifts for my aunts newfies...They will get drool bibs for xmas. I'll be working on a design when I am there next week then my mom will embroider some sayings on it like "Drool is sexy." Hoffa is not a huge drooler, but dozer is always soggy haha.

As you can see Drool City!
