Two more handbags

I got two more handbags done. They are so easy and fun to make. My mom picked out the green bag fabric. I might give it to her for her birthday or mothers day.

one more bag

I made this bag today. They take me about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish. I'm making them for the craft show I'm going to do with my mom. We're not sure where or when yet.

hand bags

I put down the crochet hooks and got out my sewing machine. I found some really cute bags at www.rosylittlethings.com . So, I went to the store and got a Simplicity pattern #4490, and I made these.

belt with Q hook

I made this belt using the Q hook and one ball of Sugar'n Cream, 100% cotton, 4 ply.

Girls night

Last Thursday was our girls night out at work. We went out to dinner, and then to Cindy's house where I showed 4 of the girls how to crochet. I'm not sure they enjoyed it. I know Chris was a little frustrated with it. But the other 3 girls have crocheted before. I had fun. Cindy gave me a size Q hook. It is HUGE. Here it is next to my H hook!

next year

Well it looks like the kids will get the ducks next year. It's Easter Sunday and they are not done.

all my ducks are NOT in a row

I have 2 days before Easter dinner on Saturday and our 2nd Easter dinner on Sunday. I have 6 duck STARTED, out of 10 and not one is finished. I have been working 3 and more hours a day on these ducks. I am sick of ducks and my hand hurts. : ( I think I'll have to give some at Easter and some after, when I get them finished. That's not what I wanted to do, but I don't think I will be able to finish them all in time.

1st duck done!

This morning I got the eyes , hair and wings on. I also put a bow aroung his neck. I think it looks cute. Only 9 more to make, in only 7 days!

one duck almost done

One duck almost done. I still have to finish one foot and put the wings and eyes on. Only 9 more to go.....

just ducky

Here I go agian... Starting another project without finishing the ones I has started. I found this pattern in the May 2006 ' Defining Crochet' magazine. (crochetmagazine.com)I have 8 nieces and nephews, and my doughtier, Kaylynn I want to make one for. So that is 9! BY EASTER SUNDAY! I took the picture to work to show the girls, and Ruth wants to buy one from me for her grandson. So that makes 10! I'm going to try to make 10 ducks in 12 days! This is what I have done, 9 of 10 duck bills and 1 of 20 duck feet. Well, no time to talk I have to get back to making ducks. Wish me luck on the duck. How much do I charge for one duck? any suggestions? It is 13 inches long when finished.
