Well, we've had a couple of days of much needed rain here in Central California so that put a pause to my painting projects. Since my apt doesn't have a garage, I had to otherwise occupy myself. So . . . I thought I'd share with you some of my other crafty endeavors I've worked on of late. I bet you didn't know I also played with and was as addicted to textiles as much as I am paint! lol I have so much yarn and fabric that I need another armoire just to store them. -_^ I recently started crocheting more often after I discovered the tutorial videos on YouTube! Bazinga! I was off and running again. I've learned so many new stitches and have even started developing my own patterns! I made these hats and hair scrunchies for my granddaughters who live in 2 different states.
Because of injuries from car accidents, knitting with the needles has become to painful. Imagine my joy when moving and meeting a friend who introduced me to the KniftyKnitter Loom! : ) These scarves I made on the KniftyKnitter Loom.

Hi Barbe! I love the hair accessories that you made for your granddaughters. You are so sweet. I bet they took a lot of time, but I'm sure they will cherish their handmade gifts.

To change your settings from a noreply blogger, go to your blogger dashboard, click "edit user profile", then check "show my email address" and save! Take care and I look forward to following your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brandi, actually they didn't take very long at all. The hats take the most time, about 2 days for me because of physical limitations with my hands. I hope you are able to respond to my comments now as I did make the changes. Thanks for the tip. : )
Deleteyour work is beautiful!!! a work of art...I never heard of a loom...I will have to mention this to my daughter...she is the knitter!
ReplyDeleteThank you, working the loom is so so easy. If your daughter is a knitter she will love the loom as it will make it easier for her to take it to the next level. : )
DeleteBeautiful knit items. How lucky your grandchildren are to receive these items made with love by grandma. Looking forward to seeing the finished table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paulette, I feel blessed to have grandchildren and enjoy making things for them on a regular basis. I finally got the table sanded today, so hopefully will have it finished by Monday! Don't forget to check back. -_^
DeleteYou've been BUSY!!! Love the hats and headbands... and don't you LOVE that ladder ribbon?! That's what I make my necklaces out of! Good work, lady!
ReplyDeleteHi Dea, yeah when the weather is cold you know how the fibro attacks us, so I did alot of crocheting and looming! lol Especially the scrunchies, I found I could do about 5 a day easily. Plus they are so much fun to make and you see results so quickly! : )
DeleteI'll be coming to check out your latest crochet earrings, soon.
Barbe
Beautiful!! Do you have a shop? I bet a lot of people would buy your stuff. I definitely would!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog:) Yeah, my lil one always comes first.. She is my life!
What kind of doggie was Sheba?
No shop as yet. I will have to put a pic of my Sheba on the side bar so you can see how much she and Molly favor! : )
DeleteBarbe, I so envy you being able to crochet and knit. Everything you've made is so cute! I love the scarves. I can't wait to see what you do with the table! I bet it's going to be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAwww . . . thank you! For years I could only do the basic single crochet stitch. Then in November a friend told me about the video tutorials available on YouTube! I am a more visual person when it comes to learning things and this was just what I needed to improve and advance my skills! Now I've learned many different stitches and have started mixing it with my knitting. The knitting loom is so easy; taught an 8yr old in one hour! You can use it and make a hat over night!
DeleteYour knitting projects are SO pretty! Lucky little granddaughters ;)
ReplyDeletePS: That table has SUCH potential~ great find, Bee!!

Thank you Lolly Jane, and so happy you stopped by for a visit. Don't forget the Frugal Treasures party tomorrow! : )
