A Bushel of Sweater-Wearing Fruit

Do you LOVE crochet, like I do?

Not your Granny's crochet - the hip, modern kind. The stuff that's fun, whimsical, and makes you want to grab your hook and wool.

I've seen these in a number of places online and every time they put a smile on my face.

It's a sweater - for your fruit!

I love these.

They remind me of Autumn.

Cool weather.

Crisp mornings.

Halloween.

The start of the Holiday Season.

Can you imagine a bushel of apples wearing sweaters?

Wedding Wands - They're Done!

Some people throw Rice.

Others blow Bubbles.

And... some wave Wands!

I had a special order for these wands.

Painting and finishing 50 wands with a 3 year old and an infant certainly posed a challenge finding uninterrupted time. I eventually decided to give up sleep. These wands were finished in the wee small hours of the morning. The only thing keeping me company was the Asian Game Show channel - the digital revolution really put a cramp in my TV viewing life. We now get two channels. First, the Barstow Desert Live Feed, which is riveting television. Sometimes when the wind blows a ring attached to a wooden post flops around. And second, the Infomercial Channel by day and Asian Game Show Channel by night.

We really need to sign up for Cable.



They turned out darling and I'm sure will look great in pictures! Hopefully she'll share some of her pics!

UFO's

No, not the crop-circle-making kind of UFOs (although, I do think it's curious that fewer and fewer UFOs have been "sighted" since every phone these days is equipped with a camera).

I'm talking about Un-Finished Objects.

I have lots of UFOs sitting in my stash...too many, to be exact.

Like this little Tooth Fairy Pillow. Yep, all that's left is a little one inch section to stitch up. I guess it's a good thing The Toddler (who's now 3 - I guess that makes him too old to be a Toddler? A Preschooler, maybe?) is too little to be losing his teeth. Looks like I may have a couple of years before I need to finish this one....

Of course, there's always Ribbon Wands. I love these fun little things, but they are rather time consuming. However, as of this posting, all three are painted - now for the finish, hardware, and ribbon.



Let's not forget about the many, many crochet projects I've got lying around. This was supposed to be a scarflette of some kind, but there isn't enough yarn in this little ball to make an anklet, let alone a scarflette. So It will have to become something else.

Any suggestions? It's a very soft wool and there isn't much of it.

I guess I need to be a little less schizophrenic about my projects and start taking the time to finish what I start.

Wedding Wands

I had a request for 50 of these fun little things...

Wedding Ribbon Wands

The bride plans to use them in lieu of rice or bubbles. I'm sure with that many white ribbons waving in the air it will make for some great pictures! Hopefully she'll send me some pics to post.
Stay tuned....

Looks like I'll be busy painting this weekend!
