From the Fur, Fur & More Fur! leaflet. I call it the caterpillar blanket because that’s what everyone who sees it says: “It looks like a caterpillar.” I think it’s gorgeous but it’s clearly not for everyone. I’m just not so sure who it’s for yet. When I saw the pattern I knew I had… Read more »

Fairy tale puppets, part 1
Here are the first two puppets I’ve made from a pattern envelope: a dragon and a wizard.
Basket weaving
Remember in high school how “basket weaving” meant a gimme class? Maybe we should have tried it. I think basket weaving requires more hands than I have. This was made from a kit. I got better at it as I went around but you can see that my shaping efforts fall somewhat short or perfect… Read more »

Clay snowman
This was made from polymer clay. The basic shape was formed using a cookie cutter and then embellishments were added.
Ornament toppers
Three more ornament toppers crocheted with thread from a leaflet. I’ve also made the snowman. I think that elf’s a little demented looking.
Baby booties
These are for my third nephew, yet to be born (or named).
