More Pincushions.....

But before the pinchushions... I was looking at pictures on my camera and found these I took of our dog Peanut..He is mostly Weiner dog and we ar not sure of the other part. He is getting older, as you can see the white around his muzzle. I had washed this dress that my daughter had worn about 38 years ago (My God that can't be right!) and Peanut was so interested in it ...So naturally,,lol I had to put it on him.. and he was so proud... he did'nt mind at all...I guess he is a cross dresser..lol

The next picture is of more pincushions..I'm on a roll.. I love making these little things.. I was visiting Melody's Blog

and she has a beautiful and fun bedroom in lime green and pink..so I sent a pinchusion to match..The color here doesn't show it too good ..but the big one in the picture is lime and pink...I think her blog shows the color better of the similiar one I sent her.

Tomorrow at the Nursing Home where I work we are serving a sweetheart dinner to the residents that have spouses. It will be very special for them...even chocolate dipped strawberries..and an Italian menu. So it will be a long day ..probably 12 hours...

I got a package in the mail today..from ebay auction for a bunch of letters that I can use in altered art and ATC's etc. Here they are... kind of neat huh? There were from Kelli she has some great art...and I can't wait to use these things.....

Well I guess I have rambled on enough for now....

Mittens are finished !!

These are finished mittens..I added an extra cuff to the inside that is not felted..so they will fit nice and snug and not let in any cold air. I she likes them....The next picture is of a block I made..from Sew Mama Sew

They are having a block of the week this year.. so it should be fun.. This was a test block I made.. so I think I will make another in some pastels..I have been holding onto a large group of fat quarters I bought that are Moda Sea Side Rose...kind of shabby chic looking...Its been discontinued now...

I can't hang onto this stuff forever.....

The other picture is the pincushions that I'm making for a trade in thebFabric ATC group I'm in here ..so I have been keeping busy...the diet is going good since January 2 ....I've lost 18 lbs....It would be nice to do that every month..but I will settle for 10 lbs..gone ever month...Well time to relax and knit on a sock I need to finish for my daughter....It's always hard to finish the second sock....Thanks for stopping by....

These came off my needles today.... see how big they are.....Next I will thowthem in the washer...in a mesh bag...and old pair of sneakers and hot, hot water andfelt them...Hopefully they will felt down to a womans lrge,,with long fingers...The lady that orderd them never gave me the exact measurements.. so hopefully they will fit..or else I will wear them or give them as a gift...Not sure how much to charge for these. The yarn was 12.00 a skein and I used two..and it took me 2 afternoons to knit them...I think at least 40.00 dollars.. does that sound to high or too low ? I also worked on some pincushions..from bottle caps.. the directions are here They are a lot of fun to make.. I will post pictures when I get a few more made....thats all for now...
