Peach Cobbler
Double green and white lace heart for St Paddies Day
I whipped this up really quick (20 min from start to lapel) for daughter who had to go out for an appointment today and has nothing green. I used Peaches & Creme (of course) 62 Emerald Green for the hearts and America's Best #10 Cotton in White for the trim. Great quick in a pinch item for St Paddies Day I think. The white and green on top are a bow, but doesn't look that way in pic... bad angle.

Cradle / Bassinet Purse
This is a Cradle/Bassinet purse order from my Etsy Store... I had to make a custom Bunting and hat for the baby because the store had NO pink babies and the rest of the babies they had were WAY to big for the bassinet, they need to be under 6 inches AND cute. So I just made a bunting and hat to cover the purple and didn't charge her any more for it since it was my fault (well... the stores fault). It has the blanket and I also made a mini bolster pillow instead of my traditional rectangle one to make it a little more special and I actually like the bolster pillow better. Very cute I think. So it will be going in my bassinet purses from now on... Sorry to those who have received with a rectangle! If you see this and take a pic of your purse I made, I will send you a new bolster pillow to match your cradle purse.

5 and 6 Gallon Jar Covers
Here 1 of the 6 gallon(brown variegateds) and 1 of the 5 gallon(red, white and blue variegateds) jar covers I made for my friend. I am making a 2 gallon cover and also 2 more 5 gallon covers for him. (if you are new to my blog there are the gallon covers here... http://mickidmw.blogspot.com/2008/11/jar-covers.html .

It's in the Details Jacket
This is unblocked... I just finished it... And look... the sleeves are the same length AND the hems line up on the sides... wow... I am impressed! It is in the January 2009 Crochet! magazine. It is called "It's in the Details Jacket". Very easy to make and if you are a plus size woman... I am thinking the 3X would be more like a 4X or a 5X. I normally wear L/XL sometimes 2X depending on the manufacturer and (The XL would have fit me AND both the grand babies in it as well,) So I made the size small # of rows for the bottom part of the sweater with the number of rows called for in size large for the Body. Turned out very nice, still a little loser than I would like, but it turned out really cute and looks really good on. very nice length. I will try to (maybe) post a picture of me in it when my daughter gets back from her vacation Tuesday. If I wouldn't have had the babies I could have finished this in a day and a half. it took 2 1/2 with the kids. So you know it is an easy pattern! LOL.. It is the first piece of clothing I have ever made myself ( well... besides the halters and things like that back in the day). I frogged the circles jacket from Caron.com and made this with it!
Pop Heart...
This was so quick to make, I am going to make a bunch of them for the babies. This one is with Caron Simply soft out of my stash. Pattern is here at MyGurumi's blog... http://mygurumi.blogspot.com/2009/02/pop-heart-pattern.html
