Another Bobble-licious Bag

Mum is expecting some visitors soon and they will be bringing their 4-year old daughter withthem and so she wanted a little gift to give her when she came to visit. I quickly whipped up the wonderful Bobble-licious bag for her to give the little girl. The bag is lined with fabric that has little kittens playing with balls of yarn.

Little Wallet

Can I just say....I love this pattern from Valerie Wells for the "Little Walllet". I have had it for a couple years but have never used it until today. I will be using it all the time now. What a great way to use up scrapes and have a wonderful little gift to give as well.
Please excuse my poor photos:

A Set

After seeing reuseable grocery bags at the same local quilt shop where I found reuseable produce bags I decided to make it a set, having already made a produce bag for mum for Christmas. I love how roomy the grocery bag is and may have to stitch one up for myself as well.

A Matching Pair

A woman at church called me last week (nothing like waiting to the last minute) and asked if I could making a matching girls' dress and 18" doll dress to include with the 18" doll they were giving her daughter for Christmas. She brought over a pattern for a girl's dress and fabric they wanted to use for it the next day and I came up with as close of a match as I could for te doll. Here is what I sent home with her today:

Seafoam

I love this afghan pattern. Over the last 20 years I must have done about 25 of them. It is quick and easy and makes a beautiful gift, which is why I decided to make one for my boss this year.
The color of the wool is called seafoam.

Crochet Clutch

My co-worker at work does a little crocheting as well as a friend  of mine in South Carolina so I decided to make the Crochet Clutch from the Moda Bake for them for Christmas. I was able to make the two of them from three coordinating fat quarters I had in my stash. Over all I had very little trouble completing these. The designer did leave out the little detail of the spacing for the hooks so I just did what I felt was needed. I really wanted to do a pink for the needle keeper portion and could not find a pink I loved and therefore settled for what I used. I now wish that I had gone with a cream.
