My craft closet.

Greetings!

Finally! I have a cupboard for my craft supplies. I bought this in a moving sale at a very reasonable price. My craft supplies were all scattered here and there; even though everything was organized I could not accommodate everything in one place. Now all my yarn, fabric, craft books, glue, etc., are all in one place. I love this! 

Still...... there is no place for my big bag of stuffing, yarn stash and beads! :(

Donut Delight.

Greetings!

Real life donuts are delicious and enjoyed all over the world. But they have never been as entertaining or as much fun as this knitted version! This adorable doll, turn the Donut into unique creation. Moreover, they can be made to celebrate and commemorate special dates and occasions.

I made this for one of our friends son who will turn one next week. I made this doll from Jeangreenhowe's 'Donut Delights'.

To add to the enjoyment, the Donuts also serve as sweetie containers! Packed with small lollypops, candy canes and sticks of rock they are perfect for children's party treats. Or why not include a mixed selection of goodies for an individual gift?

This is a picture from the book to show how the donuts serve as sweetie containers.

Will be back soon with my next project :)

'The Victorian Kitchen' so far....

Greetings!

50% of the Kitchen is complete. I still have a long way to go. Thought of posting some pictures today.

I tried to give some different effects to the picture by enhancing the photographs.

      

     

    

    

    

    

Susan Vera Cooper, known as Susie Cooper (29 October 1902 – 28 July 1995) was a prolific English ceramic designer working in the Stoke-on-Trent pottery industries from the 1920s to the 1980s.^[1]

Hope I will be able to finish this kitchen as soon as possible.

Fireman.

Greetings freinds,

Fireman was my next custom order after the 'Sailor'. I enjoyed making the doll as usual and my customer was happy as well :)

This is the picture of my happy customer :)

I also made a greeting card as a complementary gift. This doll will be a gift for a one month old baby boy :)

Finally I would love to include all the comments I received from my knitting forum. Sometimes I add the comments to the post later and whenever I edit the blog, my subscribers might receive an email again. I really apologize for that. Some times I receive the comments after I post the blog so I include the comments later on. 

You all have a great crafty week!

Is he for someone special?   When Jesus is more than merely useful — when Jesus is ultimately, supremely, beautiful — who doesn’t have time to slow and see and thank Him?    Reply   Quote Reply   Report Issue
