What I've been up to

I'm so bad at blogging. I've been doing lots of swap presents and since I know that almost everyone I sent to reads my blog I just couldn't put them up here until everyone received theirs.

I bought the most awesome little doily book -
99 Little Doilies
and completely fell in love with #96. This is funny - I so totally fell in love with it that I had to go and change it and make it my own. This has turned into my sitting around braindead project that just keeps my hands busy. It's amazing how just by changing the color changes the whole look.

Before we get to that - here's a couple other
coaster size doilies
from the same book.

(This one lives on top of my printer )
I just had to make one for me.

#96 in solid, flowered, patriotic and sunflower.
With the sunflower I did the same edging,
I just did it in the front and back loops and
alternated the points so it looks like a flower.

(lots and lots of multiple post stitches)

I know I haven't been around lately

I just wanted to let you guys know that I haven't been feeling well at all. My health problems are getting the best of me.

I'm crocheting a little bit here and there but not a whole lot.

When I get to feeling better I'll be posting more often.

Most wonderful Swap Gift!

I have my very own 8 Pocket Tote now.

My very dear friend Ann made this for me as a swap gift. I just love it! The colors are a little deeper in real life and they go so incredibly well together. The lining is just amazing! I wish I could do linings like that.

It is the PERFECT size. It hold 3 Caron Pounders or in this case 2 pounders and a cake in the center with room to stuff a ghan in it too. You can see the red and blue, the cake is black and this is holding the latest spidy ghan that I'm working on.

I've gotten so many compliments on this
when I take it out with me.

I just had to say another great big

Thank You!
