DGD-2's crocheted dresses sure were a bit hit among DGD, her Dfriends, Dmommy, and Dmommy's friends!
They fit or WILL fit this summer or fall. It's good, too, because this means I won't "need" to make her anything, until late summer for Autumn/Winter. I think
I'll make her a poncho, a cute hat, and dress or vest. I'll see what patterns I find or run across, too. It's fun to crochet for her.
I found a cute caterpillar toy in "Crochet World," for DGS-turning-4-in-April. I need to crochet him another toy, I might do a snake for him, like I did for DGS-6.
I looked over my spa basket patterns. One's a small basket; one is large, which is 10" long. I've decided to put these items in:
1- Small basket will get a beautiful medium to small plant in full bloom,
2- Larger basket will get a yellow candle with pressed flowers on it, 1 small meditation book, 2 Word Search puzzles, 1 mechanical pen, and after that, I'm leaning towards a sachet or perfumed soaps, which are decorative.
I'll put the baskets, with the gifts in them, in a dragonflies pretty colors tote bag from Joann's and they only cost $1.99 at the check-out stand, where you wait in a long line. I have about 5 of them, gave 1 away to Ddil, with a gift once, and I'll give my BFF one, too. When I go again, I'll pick up 1 - 2 more. They make excellent gift bags, because they're reusable for the recipient.
I lost an earring today, which was given to me, by my Dsis, from Utah, and it was Native American. It had beautiful colors on it, with copper. I took the one earring I had, went to my fishing tackle box, where I keep jewelry-making tools, beads, etc... I took off the earring wire, put on an "O" ring and made a wonderful pendant! DH agrees with me, how this pendant looks outstanding, when you compared it with the 2 earrings!
NOW I want to go through my jewelry, to make pendants!
