Happy Thanksgiving!!

Just wanted to stop by and say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  I've been pretty busy doing little crafts here and there.  I will get some posted as soon as I can get my models rounded up!

Crocheted hat

So I found this crocheted hat that I really liked on a fb post from Lion brand yarn.  At first I thought it looked a little complicated and when it comes to crocheted I am not confident enough for complicated.  I thought I'd give it a try and see how it turned out.  Well here it is.  Don't give any attention to the picture of me as I took it with my phone and the flash on that sucker is BRIGHT!!  I was kinda squinting when I took it so my face looks weird!

If you'd like to make one of your own go here

I'll be linking up to these blogs:

Carmel Apples

So I have never made carmel apples this fancy before but I thought I'd give it a try and with homemade carmel to boot.  I found this carmel recipe here.

So I dipped the apples in carmel and then rolled half in nuts.

All dipped in chocolate.

Dipped in chocolate and strung a little white chocolate over the top to fancy them up.

All wrapped up and ready for giving!

Here is what they look like cut in half and ready to eat.

Pictures of what I've been working on

So the first 2 are from scrap club so I had nothing to do with the design I just got to put them together and add the pictures!

School Layout

Zoo layout

 This is a little wood set that we got to make as our little craft during card club. Love the way it turned out!

Designed by Denise but done by me!

 These are some cards I have done for card club.  I wasn't able to attened for many months and so I didn't do my cards so I still have about 3 cards owed.  There will be more posted in the future!

Working away

So I have been working away to get many different projects done.  I have done everything from greeting card, to scrapbook pages and a little sewing thrown in the mix.  I just haven't been taking pictures.  I promise that sometime tomorrow I will get some pictures up so that you can see just what I have been doing!  Lots of exciting stuff!!

Thrift Store Apothecary Jars...

So some where in the blogosphere I found this idea to make regular ol' jars and candle sticks into apothecary jars.  So these three little jars were screaming for me to take them home.  Then I went looking for candle sticks and found the 2 beauties shown here.

 Add a little of this

and you'll get...

 THIS!

And they only cost me $11 which is probably less than one of the real thing!

So the little one is still looking for it's candle stick, I'm thinking something about 4 inches high.  These will be used in my Halloween decor!



A couple things I made during conference weekend

So if any of you know me you know that I can't just sit and watch TV, I have to be doing something with my hands too, so since it was conference weekend I had to have something to do and this is what it was.

I made this cute dress that I have been SO excited about because of the owl fabric.

You can sorta see the clip that matches it in her hair.

Here is the circle skirt that I found fabric for a couple weeks ago.  It's fairly easy and I think looks pretty cute!

There is also a bow that I could put on it and looking at it now I think it needs it.  It's a little plain looking where the loop to pull up the top skirt.  What do you think?

Here is the fabric a little closer so you can get a better idea.  I think it the other ones you couldn't tell the zebra stripe had pink with it!
