Crocheted Bicycle Basket

I made this bicycle Basket for my Niece's little bike, her Sister got a new bike and a new basket, we could find nothing small enough for hers, so I got some plastic canvas, some cotton yarn and viola! She loves it!!!

Christmas in May....

Wow, already finished 1st Christmas set to go out! Sister is a huge Christmas fan and decorates everything starting at Thanksgiving and we only see her once a year so Christmas themes at Christmas are a bad deal, so I am sending her a Christmas package for her Birthday the first part of June... here is a picture of part of the package ...

Recycled VCR Tapes Clothes Pin Bag

I made this last year using two (2) strands of Standard VCR tapes!!! LOVE IT! It is totally weather resistant! And everyone is impressed with what I used to make it! Here is the site..... http://www.myrecycledbags.com/2007/08/11/crochet-a-recycled-clothes-pin-bag/

Mile a Minute Bath Set

I finally got to work on the Mile a Minute Bath Set!!! Turned out lovely I think. Working on the hanging tissue holder now and am going to make a contour rug for the toilet too (there is no pattern for that though). The pattern is from Annies Attic called Mile-a-Minute Bath Set. We got the book on eBay.

Yellow Rose of Texas Doily

Here is my Yellow Rose of Texas Doily that I ordered from http://www.anniesattic.com/. I finished it in 2 days! I love this thing, it was reasonably easy and is absolutely lovely. I can see this in many other colors!!! I did do a picot edging rather than just the chain stitch it called for and it ended up at 18" instead of 16". The kit contains enough yarn for two of them!!! YEAH.

Between Meal Centerpiece

I love this doily. It is 30" across the middle. The pattern called for #10 thread, but I used some 40+ year old #40 ecru thread of my Grandmothers. She gave it to me with a tablecloth she had started, but lost the pattern for, so I just left the tablecloth as a large doily and used the rest of the thread to make this beauty. It took several weeks of 8 hour days to get it done. It was really a lot of work, but as you can see well worth it! Pattern can be found here... (UPDATED 9/18/10) pattern here ..... https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/between-meal-centerpiece

Uptown Bag from the Happy Yellow House.

Here is my rendition of the Uptown Bag from the Happy Yellow House. I gave it to my daughter becuase it was smaller than I like. She is thrilled, I am not! I will make me a bigger one down the road, but not right now. It is fully lined with a pocket. Very nice bag all in all, just smaller than I like. Pattern is here... http://www.happyyellowhouse.com/htm/uptownbag.html

Crochet Hook Caddy

I love this thing!!! I have 40+ crochet hooks, an afghan hook, 2 pairs of scissors, 6 inch ruler, pkg sewing needles, some straight pins around the edge, a couple big needles around the edge it even has 3 of my chignon pins on it!
I had to make a 2nd one because the other one was too full, so now I will keep the bigger hooks on one and the smaller hooks including the little steel hooks in the other one. Pattern can be found here... http://hometown.aol.com/crochetalong/hookcaddy.html
