Crochet Hook Holder

For my Mothers birthday I decided to made her a case to hold her crochet hooks. I used the book Sew What!: Bags by Lexie Barnes. First I selected some fabric.

I did add another print after I took this picture. Now of course I got so into making it that I forgot to take pictures but it cam together pretty well.

Here is the inside of it completed.

The back.

And all folded up.

Crafty Weekend

I have decided to begin putting my craft projects here, rather than continue to fill the side here with too many links.

First of all I took a two day class to learn how to crochet, our goal was to make a purse. I struggled to get this done for the week between classes, on the drive back to Palmdale I fiendishly crocheted and got all 16 inches done. Here is the result




And then with the joy of finally finishing that project I made a few more things.

Here is a domino bracelet




A pink mahjong tile bracelet



And finally a beaded bracelet

New Discoveries

So as part of me getting into the technology mode for work I was forced to discover bloglines...whoa who knew there was something to make my life so much easier! I could check all my favorite blogs daily and all in one place. Well then I progressed and found Google Reader, which was even better but also led me to iGoogle, oh my! So now I have iGoogle on my computer and on one page I can see my calendar, the traffic, the weather, I have a wikipedia search box, Google Reader, spell checker and gas price monitor. It is versatile web page that I am a huge fan of.

Second life...well I am trying. I have created my avatar (although she still has a bald spot on the back of her head I cant get rid of) I am still exploring the first little island. It just takes up so much time and patience! I will keep trying though.

Crocheting, finally I am learning how to do it. I enrolled in a two week class and am making a purse. I will post pictures when it is done. Right now I need to finish the homework part of the class. You see the first session teaches you how to do it and gets you started, then you have to make your small creation become a 16 inch long piece then the second session makes these 16 inches into an actual purse...we will see what happens.
