Friend's gift

I have a friend I work with that is leaving. I'll miss her both professionally and personally. But this is a good thing for her. A few of us are all going to lunch with her today before her last day here. Though I don't expect her and I to totally lose touch, I have made her a gift. And if using it keeps me in here mind and her in touch more often, that won't hurt my feelings. :)

Dish towel, dishcloth and sponge.

She had her birthday!

Gwendolyn's birthday was Saturday and she opened her gifts. She called and told me they were adorable!

I myself am a bit disappointed. The pants are too short. How did I mess up on that? I have trouble getting the gauge sometimes but it's always bigger. I have to use smaller hooks to get it right.

Here at the pics.

Anxious

I'm anxiously awaiting the birthday of my niece. I want to know what she thinks about her gift. I can't post it here yet on the off chance that she will visit the blog. I'm just rather pleased with the gift and I want to see the pictures her mom sends me of it. I'll post them here.

Daphne

I was raised in a houseful of girls but, out of the 8 children my sisters and I have, only two of them are girls. I have lovely nieces. Here is a picture of the oldest one and the one that hasn't appeared on this blog before (doesn't she have a beautiful smile?). She's wearing a smaller version of the vest my family likes.

Mom's Shawl

It has taken this long for me to receive pictures of Mom's gift. And she isn't even the model. Mary is such a great sister for doing this.

Festival Booth

I plan on having a booth at the local festival in October. A sorta combination booth of a side business and a hobby. Avon and crochet. I've been making some things up for the booth and I'll try to get them all laid out at once soon to post a picture on here.

I came across pictures I had made of some wine bottle covers for my etsy store and I have made some along these lines for the festival. I thought I'd share these while I was thinking about them.

Gwendolyn's Market Bag

I've had this bag made for her for months and just have not gotten it into the mail. Not something to be remotely proud of. I sent it back with her mom from our weekend together. My niece is not afraid to do some modeling for me. She'd beautiful. Oh yes, she also wore the headband I sent.

I made her a different kind of bad than I made her mom and a smaller version of the ones I've already posted here.
