Pillow For Valentine's

Today I made this pillow for a Valentine's Gift to my Sweetie to remind him to always kiss me goodnight (which he always does!) I think it turned out well. There are a couple of things I would do differently if I make more. Let me know if you want one for your sweetie. ($20.00)

100% Cotton Washcloths

Lately I have been crocheting a lot of these 8"x8" 100% cotton washcloths. They can also be used as dishcloths. They are fun and quick to make and I like the pleasure I get when I finish one. Keeps me busy on long car rides. We have been doing a lot of traveling lately. I have posted some of the washcloths for sale on my etsy page at http://www.etsy.com/shop/alanemarie.

Tote Bags!

I recently started having fun creating Tote Bags. Shown are a green tote that I loved and my newest creation...  a Blue Checkered Tote. I spent time with my daughter showing her how to make a Tote. She made a denim tote with a cute red lining and I made the Blue Checkered Tote. We had a day of fun shopping for material and sewing together.

 

 

Green Plaid Baby Blanket

Last night was the first time I crocheted a decorative edge around a blanket using my new Skip Stitch Blade to cut the holes first. It made things so much easier! I was so happy I found the Skip Stitch! Its a great product. You can purchase this blanket at my new Artfire shop!

How to Make a Credit Card Holder

Watch this movie for instructions on how to make my Credit Card Wallet. Or - if you don't want to make one visit my Etsy page at alanemarie.etsy.com.

Credit Card Wallet

I wanted a new wallet but the kind I wanted did not have enough slots for my membership cards and credit cards so I decided to make my own! I still carry the wallet I bought but the credit card wallet is just that - a wallet for cards. I found a site called craftbits that had some instructions for making a smaller wallet to hold money and a few cards so I modified it to make what I had in mind. Here are some pictures of the results. If you want one too let me know. $5.00 each.

Crocheted Clutch

Brad and I took a ride to Cedar City and on the way I crocheted this little clutch. I got the pattern from Lion Brand Yarn's site. If you register you can get all kinds of patterns. I think it turned out pretty well. Its my first purse.It is 9 1/2" wide and 6 1/2" tall and opens up pretty wide.
