Family Decor

Family Tree

A very dear friend celebrated her wedding anniversary but her wonderful husband had passed. 
So, we wanted to give her a special gift that celebrated their marriage as well as blessed her. 
What better than a family tree?! 


My mom and I went shopping at Home Goods and found this silver tree, see picture. 
It is large enough for our friend to hang the pictures of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.  
Next we went to Michaels and found small picture frames in their jewelry section, as well as rings to attach the pictures to the tree. 


 This is a very simple gift but it is also very special. 

 Besides the tree, picture frames, and small rings you will need jewelry pliers and your personal photos.

Packaged to Sell

Flower Pins


Recently, a friend told me she'd received several compliments on a crocheted flower pin I made for her. 
She said that if I gave her some, when people commented on how much they liked them, she'd tell them she had some to sell. 

I don't know how well they're selling but I had a lot of fun getting them ready!



Below are pictures of the process and the end result. 

I decided to cute cardboard into squares to give me a "foundation" as it were, to be my pin holder. Green material and grey felt were then selected to be glued over the cardboard. These made complimentary background covers. 


I had some fun making little price tags too!! 
There were papers, pens, and stencils all over the table!! 
Too much fun! 
 

 The end result!! So pretty!!

Comments On My Blog

Removed Comments

I recently had to remove a comment that had been posting using Google plus on my blog. 
It was disgusting and unnecessary! 
I am sorry if it offended any one. 
I have tried to take the necessary measures to correct and block this from happening again. 

This blog is for posting about my journey as a crafter, so comments not related to that will be removed.

Thank you for following and reading my posts!

Horse Hat

Crocheted Horse Hat


 When I was shopping for a birthday gift and ran across this horse shirt and these cute little striped shorts, I had to buy them!!
I crocheted a horse beanie hat to match the horse on the t-shirt.

 Having never made one of these, I looked up ideas on Pinterest. The hat turned out pretty well!

I want to make some of these for the shop, so please stay tuned!

Birthdays and Butterflies

A Butterfly Gift for the Beautiful Birthday Girl


I was invited to a birthday party for a little friend. 
She loves butterflies!!
So, I made a hat to match the outfit and I put a butterfly on it.





Here is the hat with the crocheted butterfly. 
I also added a lacy edge to give it a more feminine touch! 



 Interested in ordering one?
Keep an eye on the shop!

Baby Shower Goodies

Gifts for the Gender Reveal Shower

 Recently, I was able to go to a gender reveal baby shower!! It was so much fun!!! 

I guessed that the baby was going to be a boy, so my gifts leaned a little more in that direction. During the shower, I discovered my guess was wrong but I had included a gift receipt in the card.

The hats I made  a girl or boy could use. 
turquoise and brown

Puppy Dog

Green "Camo" hat and booties

Cowboy boots and hat
Carters had some cute little outfits that went with my hats!!!

 Stay tuned for a post about some new listings!!!
