I was asked to take a go at Sponge Bob Square Pants. I believe he turned out really well. I was not sure how to do the holes in his body so I decided to just em-border them in. I did use this <a href="http://www.latenighthooker.com/2009/06/he-lives-in-pineapple-under-sea.html">Spongebob pattern</a> but I modified a few things as well as added. I always attempt to crochet all the parts. I am proud of Spongebob!<br />

I just love making someones day, so I found a <a href="http://nerdigurumi.com/2010/03/little-big-planet-sackboy-with-pattern.html">pattern</a> and started crocheting away. I did make a few changes on the pattern. I wanted it to look especially well as everyone at work was going to see my craft. I think he turned out pretty well. I do know that everyone loved it at work. <br />

Then I heard of plarn from one of the yahoo groups I belong too. It is yarn you make from plastic shopping bags. It is a bit different to work with. If you are interested in learning how to make plarn here is a good link <a href="http://www.myrecycledbags.com/2007/02/17/instructions-for-cutting-plastic-bags-creating-recycled-plastic-yarn/">myrecycledbags</a>. I believe there are some youtube videos as well. Then I was thinking about what to make two of my tween nieces for Christmas. I decided to make plarn bags. It seems they are a bit popular as my sister-in-law was jealous she didn't get one. Ha! While I was surfing for more patterns I discovered an amazing technique on YouTube. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr5bJbTZHgk">Spinning plarn</a> making it more yarn-like. Sounds like a new project. Yay!<br />

I had bought Afghan Splender. A very fine book. I have made five afghans from this book. I am trying to get pictures of them. The five I made where Redwork Hearts using blues and omitting the buttons as my son was young when I made it. Didn't want him to choke. Rippling Reflections I made for my oldest and middle son. My middle sons was nearly seven foot long as he is 6'2". Victorian Blues I made for my father. Tawny Ripples I made my mother. Indian Harvest is what I made my daughter-in-law. I love making afghans, but the best part is seeing the joy in the face of the person I give it too. It is a great way to always be remembered, even after you are long gone.<br />

Especially the afghans. One year for Christmas I made five afghans. Made one for each of my three children as well as one for mom and one for dad. They where pieces of art. It sure is a great way to be able to live for many many years after your gone. I have a few things my grandmothers made. I cherish them like they are made of gold. Any day now I hope to have pictures of the set I made for the grand daughter who is due to be here any day now. I know my daughter-in-law is ready as she feels as though her skin could stretch no more. I am so anxious!Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11497207599594398539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462733320560673710.post-7130599232226524632010-11-05T18:05:00.000-07:002010-11-05T18:05:19.156-07:00Life Is Like A Box of Chocolates<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDiDfNiZ7vWWnPZvPMGgDFxTawlcymGdDdjRr7qQbeU1mSmgLwz8vGtz73vDweHC4oPbvpRKHAM0j2wpJUMRITXOEK0dgRiCbEdbQBsx7cNzw-YUmr7orCw2wHH0VGO9ilhhBJAPTn4DY/s1600/Valentine+Box+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDiDfNiZ7vWWnPZvPMGgDFxTawlcymGdDdjRr7qQbeU1mSmgLwz8vGtz73vDweHC4oPbvpRKHAM0j2wpJUMRITXOEK0dgRiCbEdbQBsx7cNzw-YUmr7orCw2wHH0VGO9ilhhBJAPTn4DY/s320/Valentine+Box+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I had no problems with this at all. They turned out amazing. I do have a passion for putting them together. I did make some personal touches as I like everything to be crocheted. Therefore I embroidered his eyes, his hat logo, and crocheted some buttons. My nephew is crazy about them. The pictures really don't either of them justice. I am going to try to get some better pictures taken.<br />

Not bad...I tried my skills at a doll that clothes could be made for it. My grand daughter just loves changes the clothes on dolls. She is now three. I thought this would be a great size for her to carry around in a plarn tote. :) I love being crafty!

I accomplished a tote made from plarn. I found out that it takes some muscle to get through a large project with plarn. It makes an interesting pattern. I also found out that it takes a LOT of plastic bags for one project. It is a great way to recycle your shopping bags. It uses them up fast.<br />

I bought this pattern, Chinese Dragon LE-37G Designed by Rungrat Puthikul. A four page patten, I am addicted. This took me about six months to do. If you look really close I have one stitch that is backwards. Ha! This was the most challenging. I will confess, I had to rip out a lot. Once it was together I thought it turned out well. The backwards stitch drives me insane! My husband tells me you cannot see it. I am a perfectionist. The backsides of my cross stitches are just as neat as the front, that lets it lay flat if you are going to frame them.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11497207599594398539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462733320560673710.post-77320981258782770852010-08-03T10:09:00.000-07:002010-08-03T10:09:18.958-07:00Counted Cross Stitch Geisha<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdct725VJnljW9bqj8PfbpOuXFhiH4UEyC8AXvI9vZOBwzc4AyoLT01zWf1rJtEFlnwRMo8VELMxGu_J2QzJP69LkLvvmLVAhQYYN99FdGd4odxlj0tZnfYEU23YEKx4DuaA3Qn1Mz9uc/s1600/Geisha+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdct725VJnljW9bqj8PfbpOuXFhiH4UEyC8AXvI9vZOBwzc4AyoLT01zWf1rJtEFlnwRMo8VELMxGu_J2QzJP69LkLvvmLVAhQYYN99FdGd4odxlj0tZnfYEU23YEKx4DuaA3Qn1Mz9uc/s200/Geisha+2.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdct725VJnljW9bqj8PfbpOuXFhiH4UEyC8AXvI9vZOBwzc4AyoLT01zWf1rJtEFlnwRMo8VELMxGu_J2QzJP69LkLvvmLVAhQYYN99FdGd4odxlj0tZnfYEU23YEKx4DuaA3Qn1Mz9uc/s1600/Geisha+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdct725VJnljW9bqj8PfbpOuXFhiH4UEyC8AXvI9vZOBwzc4AyoLT01zWf1rJtEFlnwRMo8VELMxGu_J2QzJP69LkLvvmLVAhQYYN99FdGd4odxlj0tZnfYEU23YEKx4DuaA3Qn1Mz9uc/s200/Geisha+2.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
I cannot remember where I got this pattern. All I do remember is that it was from a foreign website. This isn't even the whole pattern. It is written in a foreign writing therefore I could not make sense out of what size canvas I needed. I could read the symbols and the DMC and Anchor numbers are in English. A wonderful four page pattern. I adore doing the difficult numerous paged patterns. I like to count, maybe that is why I love them so much. I also enjoy the challenge. I think she turned out beautiful! I would like to do it again on the correct sized canvas. It is suppose to be longer than wide.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11497207599594398539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462733320560673710.post-62979271109032812222010-08-02T12:48:00.000-07:002010-08-03T09:53:58.818-07:00A Boy's Gift Set<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvHObZMfvN8Q6WuhPveVGBEBkqV6sgYlAT3BJ3TZ3ODrQ8aGb3yH8pmXAKZXeZ36xq0E7srXi5cVTCcbkl9Y6FryFJ6PCPOsy-Xs87Oz2ag49kkRfcnTFyhKV9NSHpGsMX74HlnpzL-I/s1600/Boys+Gift+Set+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvHObZMfvN8Q6WuhPveVGBEBkqV6sgYlAT3BJ3TZ3ODrQ8aGb3yH8pmXAKZXeZ36xq0E7srXi5cVTCcbkl9Y6FryFJ6PCPOsy-Xs87Oz2ag49kkRfcnTFyhKV9NSHpGsMX74HlnpzL-I/s320/Boys+Gift+Set+2.jpg" /></a></div>It is always nice to have a gift set on hand just in case you get a Baby Shower invitation and no time to whip something up.

I gave each OSU fan a Brutus hand crocheted for Christmas. Although I think they look a little corny, my family adored them. I even made their little faces safe for children of any size. We have quiet a few little guys in the family, even some on the way. <a name='more'></a>Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11497207599594398539noreply@blogger.com0
