Finishing Up

I'm trying to get some of my projects finished.  I have several booties to sew together and the baby hat that I was working on today.  I'm also just finished a baby hat.  I really like it.  I found the pattern on the Internet.  It has little rows of ruffles going around it.  I think it would be a really cute gift for a baby girl!

I also made one in pink with just shells along the bottom - no rows of "flowers" aroud it. I don't think this picture does it justice. I sent it from my cell phone; it usually does a fairly good job, so I'm rather disappointed.  I do like the different color, though.  I bought the yarn on Ebay from China, but the label says "pure Australian wool." It is SO soft. I plan on buying more when I get more moeny!  So that means I need to sell a few things on our Etsy shop! 
Speaking of which: so far, we've had a few people looking at either the shop or separate listings.  I'm hoping that business will pick up as it gets closer to Christmas.  Wish us luck.  I have some things on my daughter's web site: Ella's Green Nursery, and I have some at my shop jewisley4 which will be changing to I Just Felt Like it because I like to work with felt AND I make things that I feel like making!
Anyway, it's time to get back to work.
Happy crafting!

Doctor's visit

Today was a long day.  Both my mother and I had a doctor's appointment; mine at 1 and her's at 2.  They both lasted over an hour, and I was starving when she finally came out of the office, so we ran a couple of errands and then stopped at McDonald's.  Did I telly you that we're a class act?
I did get some time to craft today.  (Housework?)  I finished a striped baby hat.  It was from a kit, and I wasn't too sure of the colors: taupe, black, yellow, and white.  It reminds me of a bumble bee, but it's kind of cute.  I also worked a little on my potato chip scarf.  It's taken me longer to make than I thought it would.  I guess it's all the turning.  It is cute, though.  Next time, I'll use larger needles.
I also finished a smocked Christmas ball this week.  I really am fairly happy with it.  It's been so long since I made anything, and I need to get back into doing it.  I used to make clothes - smocked and heirloom - for my kids.  Now that I have a grandson, two granddaughters and another one on the way, I need to get back to it!

Here's my Christmas ornament.  I'm going to take it out to my booth at the Highway 46 Trading Post.  I have a few more to make,  They're fun and quick - and practice.
(There's a really cute pattern that I'd like to make for my (now) youngest granddaughter.  She loves Cinderella, and I have a smocking plate that has a Cinderella scene on it. Can't wait to get started.  I'll need to make it with sleeves.  Her second birthday is February 2nd, and they live in a cold climate!
Until next time.

I'm ba-ack!

I've haven't felt well - which is why I retired.  But I was hoping to feel better - and sooner.  I guess though, that I should be grateful that I am no longer at the school where I was working as they were very abusive there!
I haven't got a lot of things done, but I do have a few things listed on my web site at Etsy: Ijustfeltlikeit, and at Jewisley4, and on my daughter's web site at Etsy: Ellasgreennursery.  I didn't realize that I couldn't just change my name on my account, so I FINALLY made a new web site, which is the I just felt like it one.
I'm trying a lot of different things as I enjoy all kinds of crafts: knitting, crochet, sewing, fabric crafts, etc., so there will be a variety on my websites.  I hope in the future to post some tutorials of some of the things that I have done.
Well, it's good to be back.  I'll keep on resting, and maybe someday, I'll feel human again.
