Handy Kitchen Set

The Handy Kitchen Set:

A Wedding Present

Recently my mom and I were invited to a wedding 

but were unable to attend. 

So we put our heads together and made up the 

"Handy Kitchen Set"! 

The "Handy Kitchen Set" is made up three crocheted hot pads, three knit dish cloths, two scrubbers one knit and one crocheted, and one crocheted pot handle holder.

My mom did the knitting on this project and I did the crocheting.

I think it turned out pretty and cute and is a very useful and handy wedding gift!

I just love the brown and red colors!!

Mom and I also included this cute little poem in the gift! 

Thank God for Dirty Dishes

Thank God for dirty dishes;

They have a tale to tell.

While others may be hungry,

We’re eating pretty well.

With home and health and happiness,

We shouldn’t want to fuss;

For by this stack of evidence,

God’s very good to us.

Wedding Parking Sign

Wedding Parking Sign

I was blessed to be able to help with a wedding recently. 

We made lovely bows, prepped food, listened to the bride's plans and ideas, gave her a few of our own, helped with decoration set up, and listened to the lovely and talented soloist sing!

One thing that I took on myself, with help from my wonderful Dad and brother, was the "wedding parking sign". 

"Dad and brother" always have scrap lumber, nails, and are so generous with their time! 

They were a big help to this little project that I wanted to do! 

I'm a "pinterest person". 

The wedding ideas are some of my favorite! 

And making this sign was the fulfillment of one of long held desires to make one thing that I had pinned!! 

Thanks to my Dad and brother it was a success! 

I pray that God blesses this special couple as they are starting their journey together! 

My sign:

The front

The back

Getting ready to paint!

Wet paint drying...

All dry and ready!

Ready for the big day! Congratulations to the happy couple!

Diaper Covers

Diaper Covers

Sorry that I've been so absent lately in my posting! 

Things have been busy around here! 

God is so gracious and good to encourage us through these busy (and sometimes crazy) times!

So, here is what I've been working on!! 

They were so much fun to crochet! 

Lord willing, I plan to make more since I have a baby shower to go to.

 And a new baby cousin that just arrived on Monday! 

Babies are such little miracles!! 

This last order was a challenge and I loved it! 

I was asked to make a lady bug hat and matching diaper cover and a puppy hat and diaper cover.

You may be saying: "What is that girl talking about?" 

That's what I thought when my client asked for them!

But when I saw it I was so excited! 

They are just adorable! 

Scroll down to see pictures!! 

These hats and diaper covers are for 3-6 month olds.

The lady bug hat, complete with the spots and antennas.

Top view: Spots are sewed on all the way around.

Hat and Diaper Cover

How it secures on: Velcro!!

Open all the way

The "butt" or backside; complete with spots!!

Puppy hat; with eyes, nose, patch, and ears!

All it needs is a baby to complete it!

Open it up and there's the Velcro!

Opened up all the way

The "butt" or backside. It even has a patch and tail!

 I also have patterns to a duck, rabbit, and giraffe!

I hope to make them sometime!!
