Stuff I Make

Unfinished crocheted baby blanket for my daughter Merry. I started it in 1995. Tried to finish it in 2015 but had forgotten the stitch. 

Costume for Merry, some kind of Pokemon. Looked at pictures, made it up as I went.

Tiny dinosaurs ready to be made into Christmas tree ornaments.

With glitter and an eye screw.

Plastic palm tree perfect for little dinos.




Design your own witch hat party!

My daughter Catherine made this hat.

Christmas cards. I plucked an old hymnal out of the donation box - it was falling apart and headed for recycling. I tore out the Christmas hymns and made the branches and trunk. Bought the paper and gold stars. Fun project.

The cards ready to send.

Baby Bootees, crocheted, super simple.

Same pattern but knitted.

Crocheted blankie and sock elephant, gift for Octavia.

Super hero capes for stuffed toys.
