Crocheted Dish Cloths

I can't stand to be idle, (most of the time) ;o) so at night or when we are driving I like to mindlessly crochet. I usually make these dishcloths. I love them and they are so easy to make. I usually make seasonal ones, although the top one is for all year round. I use 100% cotton to crochet them.

Crocheted Edge Baby Blankets

I made two more baby blankets. I love to make these. I think they make nice gifts. I had enough of the aqua fabric to make a burb cloth. These were made for two special babies! Aren't babies just so wonderful!!!

An update (FINALLY!)

I'm sure that most of y'all have long since despaired of ever seeing an update on DH, I'm very sorry for the shocking lack of new posts. We do have alot of projects to share though :)

Our biggest project lately was my regency outfit for a dance I attended in IL.
We used Jenny Chancey's Drawstring Elegant Lady's Closet pattern

Here are some pictures of the construction
Like my pattern weights? :D



We, ahem, sewed the sleeves toward the neck.... hehe



My mom made the dress, but I made the shawl, reticule and most of the chemise.

The chemise:
(I was really tired this day, can you tell by the dumb expression on my face?? haha)


The Dress and shawl:

The Reticule:


Hope you enjoyed seeing a peek into our project :D

P.S. What do y'all think of the new blog design?

Friendship

Here is a card that I made yesterday. It is inspired by one that my friend Pam made for me. The stamp and rub-on are from Heidi Grace and the paper is from K & Company and Stampin' Up!. The center of the flower has Stickles on it.

Table Settings

This is the table that Elissa set for our anniversary dinner.


This is the table that Elissa set for New Year's eve.


This is the table that Elissa set for our Christmas dinner.


Elissa has quite the flair for setting the table. We love to watch Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee, to glean from some of her wonderful ideas.

Autumn Embroidered Tea Towel

Here is a tea towel that I made this last Autumn for my kitchen. I used some free patterns from Pattern Bee.

Cuttlebug~Thanks

Here is yet another card that I used my new Cuttlebug on. This time I used background paper to emboss. I think it turned out cute. The stamp on the tag is from Stampin' Up!. The center of the flower has Stickles.

Sweet Treats

Here is another card that I made recently with my new Cuttlebug, which I totally love!! Can you tell that I love pink and brown?! The scoops are made using a technique called paper piecing which is very fun. I used a product by Stamping up called Crystal Effects for the glass dish and the chocolate syrup and cherry. It gives them a raised glassy effect. The paper and stamps are from Stampin UP!.

3 year old fun

This is what happens to your poor snow woman pincushion when your 3 year old son finds himself alone in the craft room! ;o)

Snowman Throw

I blanket stitched this fleece throw back in early November. This throw is 2 1/2 yds and I rounded the corners and used green crochet thread to do my blanket stitching. This was the first time that I did blanket stitching.

Pouches

Here are a few pouches that I made this fall. Elissa made the zipper pulls. We make a great team!

Scarves

I knit this scarf for my mom for her birthday. The yarn is Debbie Mumm from JoAnn's.



I crocheted this scarf for Elissa for Christmas. The yarn is Vanna's Choice. I love how soft it is.

Birthday Gifts

These are the gifts that I gave to my friend Jennifer for her birthday the other day. The cupcake card in the previous post went with these.






The tall tin is filled with my Triple Chocolate Mint Cocoa, the mini tin has mini Reese's peanut butter cups and the bag is filled with Hershey's nuggets. I am sure she appreciated all of the sugar that I gave her on New Year's day, the day most people vow to not eat so much junk! ;o)
The stamps and paper are from Stampin' Up!

Cupcake card

Here is a card I made recently for a friend. The stamped image is from Stampin Up! and the embossed paper is made with my new Cuttlebug, which I love! ;o)

My new hobby

My new hobby of Polymer clay. I started buyin stuff of polymer clay on etsy, and I loved the stuff so much, I decided to try my hand at it, and I LOVE it! I've already sold two pairs of earrings! (Check out my fall colection of polymer clay jewelry at http://delightfulhands.etsy.com/)

Anyway, I just thought I'd share some pics.
