For the Traveler

Next week Miss Language leaves for a semester in China. She has very strict weight limits so it was not a good idea to make her anything large or heavy to take, that ruled out concrete block bookshelves etc.


So, we picked some fun fabrics and made a little passport carrying case for on a lanyard or carabiner and some matching luggage tags. They came out a little on the Dr Seuss end but it was a fun project. Patterns here, although we modified the Aeropac as we wanted the whole thing a bit smaller and a tabbed area large enough to hold the passport itself. :)

Summer Gifts

Here are some recent projects  :)

Items for a friend's wedding... need I mention, a daisy lover. They were super fun to put together, and here's the apron link. The pattern itself is so adorable you will want to do it.



Then a set of dishcloths for an online friend I finally had the joy of meeting.  :D  God is so kind to me. I never used the twist yarn like in the star before. I really like the way it looks so country/primitive.

Patriotic Dishcloths

Um, although, of course, the dishcloths themselves are not actually patriotic... just in colors associated with patriots... 


This set is for a family who has been very kind and special to Miss Language. Thank you!
