Halloween 2009

Some stiching

Silly Snakes!

I don't know why, but I have dubbed these silly snakes. I will be giving them to Joe's nieces and nephew for Christmas. I bought a wool sweater at a garage sale, felted it then cut it up.

I embroidered their initials on the tail and gave them a nice needle felted heart or star.


I gave them wool felt tongues and button eyes. For baby Ashley I made felt eyes because she is too little for buttons.

I KNIT!!!!!!!

I finally was able to produce some sort of fabric by knitting. This cowl is the fruit of my labor. I used lionbrand.com and taught myself to knit and purl. As any knitter knows, purling is a pain. This is alllllll garter stitch but I love it. I used Lionbrand Woolease Thick&Quick which I think should be renamed "Hipsters love to over charge for me on Etsy." It's funny, on that site people tend to charge more for thick yarns, which takes less time to work with. Strange.


Not drunk, unless you mean drunk on the power of knitting!

Thriftstore score!

Weird yard and 70's cross stitch book!




Cool crewel. I didn't even know they used to sell this kinda stuff at Macy's (for $3!)

Crochet Bag

Tried to felt this bag.... humm.... the washer and dryer at my apartment building sucks. Need a top loader.

A Gift for Another Ashley!
