My sisters-in-law and I absolutely love going to second hand stores.
A couple of weeks ago, we were in one of our favorites, when Sis spotted this old old crocheted piece in the back of a drawer:
She held it up to me and we both fell in love with it.
She asked the lady how much it […]
I just posted about the friendship bracelets that I tatted while I was in the design process for
this tatted cord:
I am really pleased with the cord. I wanted it to be simple and not too frou frou.
It’s light and really pleasant to wear.
I am going to make it up in other threads to see how […]
Yesterday, I posted about
making a tatting shuttle that broke.
And, so I recycled it and made it into a necklace:
And, now, I am debating about the cord for the necklace.
I know I am going to use Lion Brand Lamé in the oilslick version, but I am waffling about how I am going to make it.
I […]
Yesterday, I posted about carving a Lady Hoare tatting shuttle from recycled wood.
I broke one of the tatting shuttles
sigh.
I tossed it into the sawdust bucket for burning next winter.
Tammy suggested that I reclaim it and use it as an inkle shuttle.
I like my inkle shuttles to have straight sides, so it wouldn’t work for that…. […]
In my previous posting, I showed how I got started making the Lady Hoare tatting shuttle.
I took the bits of recycled wood back out to the workshop, and cut the 2 shuttles out on the bandsaw:
Then finished up the openings with a smaller saw:
Next, time to make some sawdust:
You can see how it’s looking more […]
My husband’s dad built a desk when my husband was a wee little guy. Sadly, the desk fell apart last winter. BUT!
The desk lives on in all manner of ways!
I have made bag handles and a heap of bracelets from the bottoms of the drawers.
And, today, I made myself another ‘Lady Hoare’ (I pronounce it […]
We have a wasp problem, and don’t want to use pesticides to kill them. Well, actually, we don’t really even want to kill the rotten little beasties…. they are part of the grand plan of nature, after all. We just don’t want the little stinkers to set up shop around our house, barn, hayshed, tool […]
The Crochet Liberation Front on Ravelry awarded me their hookalicious award for kewl crochet for my earth friendly design for a crocheted market bag:
I love it that they GOT my pun: It’s a♥ GREEN ♥bag that’s all about ♥ loving the earth! ♥
I am tickled pink. When I was nominated for […]
We’re big ‘greenies’. We always carry our own cloth or crocheted grocery bags.
So, to celebrate Earth Day, I want to invite people to whip up some market bags to be oh so handy while they take care of the earth!
The handles are neat because they are made from recycled wire coat hangers.
Here’s the link for […]
