Helmet Liners and Slippers

Now I'm working on Helmet Liners and Slippers for our Troops. I went shopping Saturday with Mom and we ran into one of the craft stores where wool yarn was on sale. I grabbed enough yarn to make three liners, and too much yarn to make the slippers! I was thinking I would need 2 skeins of yarn for one pair of slippers....wrong! Only need one skein for one pair...oh well, can never have to much yarn! The liners should be done in the dark plain colors, black, tan, brown and grey. And the slippers will be done is fun colors! I have one liner and one pair of slippers done, and one slipper on the next pair done. I am helping another Lady at the Ville, her Godson is in a unit of 100, and he said it is very cold over there, and they need helmet liners.

Plastic Bag Holders

I made this Plastic Bag Holder for one of the Ladies at the Ville. She works at an assisted living facility and is placing the bags in the rooms. I made another one, but forgot to snap a pic before I boxed it up. I found the pattern online, just did a search and a few popped up, picked an easy one and worked them up in no time.

Here is the Snowman Porch Sitter, selling mittens. I think he turned out cute. Of course I changed the colors to Orange and Green, make him alittle more fun! I think these would be cute inside too, next to a fireplace or on the landing of your stairs.

Santa Porch Sitter

One of my Christmas gifts finished for 09. This is Santa, the Old World Santa. I only have to glue the back part on that holds a brick so he will stand on his own.

Happy New Year

Wow! I have really let my bloggin' go! It's been ages since I have posted, mostly because I have been busy. I had a really nice Christmas this year, even though Hubby had to work :0(
My New Years Resolution this year- Be kinder, lose 20 lbs., and get all the crafts done that I had started and never finished! And I am going to get a jump on gifts for next year!! WooHoo!
I already have two items done and I will post pictures soon. I made Porch Sitters out of plastic canvas...one is a Snowman and the other is the Old Time Santa. Hubby needs to cut the wood to support the backs and then they are complete. I also want to make afghans for my two sister-in-laws. Picture afghans of their wedding, or I may do a picture of their kids. Another crocheter did one of her grandparents, and it looks just like a picture.
