Here is the desert camouflage hat and diaper set.  People of facebook seem to really like this one :)

 I made up this newborn football set for a customer today.  It turned out so cute :)

Blue and White Snowflake Granny Square Afghan

Here is the last hidden treasure that I found on my quest for sewing needles :)

Here is it's listing at my Etsy store.








15" Doily

 This beautiful doily was also found when I was looking for my sewing needles.  It is so pretty :)


Pale Pink and White Baby Blanket

 Here is another blanket I found stored in my storage bin.  I love it, but it is hard to see the pale pink and white in the pictures :)





Pink baby blanket

Yesterday I was looking for my sewing needles.  What a crazy thing to misplace.  Anyway, I went through all my storage bins and didn't find them.  I did find some blankets that I made before I started my Etsy store though.  And since I stored them in the bin in my closet, they were not in the stack that I donated.  Soooo.... I am going to put them on my Etsy store.  Here is the pink baby blanket.  It is 30 x 36" and very soft. :)

Another Sock Monkey Day

I woke up this morning to a Khaki, Red, and White Sock Monkey Set order :)  Then I got a request for an army sock monkey set.  And lastly I have a request for a Minnie Mouse Purse.  Looks like the personal tissue holders that I planned making are going to be made a different day.

I'm still trying to picture a design that I like for the army sock monkey.  The camouflage yarn is a little dark and makes the face difficult to see.  I'll have to keep looking and see if I find an idea that I like.  I'm not sure I have the yarn on hand right now, so I will have to go hunting in the yarn bins and see what I have on hand.

Wow!  Now that's a pompom
 At least you can see the eyes.
 Maybe like this but in a different face color.
 I like this one, but it kind of blends all together.
 This one you can see, but it doesn't remind me of the army.
 The face is too dark, but otherwise I really like these.
Once again, the face is too dark.









I'll have to see what yarn I have on hand and perhaps experiment :)

 I really like the army hat.  So.... I went on etsy and purchased an army hat pattern.   I wonder if I can make it part of my sock monkey hat??? 
This one had different colors.
 This is the hat pattern I purchased.  I like the big brim.
Here is a different pattern, but I already have a pattern like this one.
 I bought the pattern, and it is well worth it!!!  It is a wonderful hat!  I made a diaper cover to match.  The yarn is a little stiffer than what I normally use, but I think that works well for the hat.


Here is one of the army monkeys that I came up with.  I really like how this one turned out.  I had to pull out the straps several times.  If you mix green, red, and white, it looks very Christmasy.

I think that with the red straps it just looks like a camouflage sock monkey :)













                                                  This sock monkey turned out reminding me of a clown.  I don't think that is a good thing.  I like the colors, but I think it is the mouth that throws me off.  I am wondering if I want to make the mouth white with red lips.  I am not fond of it how it is right now. Maybe someone will like a clownish, green, sock monkey :)












I took off the mouth and tried again.  I like this a little better.


I like this much better.  I will post this now :)
