would anyone be interested in a swap where we create tote(s) (1-3 totes total)
for a reusable shopping/grocery bag? we can make it with a theme weather its our partners favorite color,save trees, or if they are vegetarian or vegan etc.
thinking keeping this one small so its a low stress swap.  It would be up to the partners to decide if they only want to make one, two, or the MAX of 3 simple,cute, handy, reusable (washable incase something were to leak in it) bag.
Whaddya think? anyone?
 

I came across this ole mannequin head at a local antique & junk market after I had been on the lookout for one for a while.
She needed some special care and cleaned up as her wig was ratty looking and someone put two layers of false long lashes on them with tons of black paint & pink glitter glue and made her look...well, icky!
So here is the before:


 AND after I got ahold of her!



Thanks for looking 
PS: She needs a name...any suggestions?

THIS is a doodle bird:


Doodle birds are quite rare and are a distant relative of the owl, as one can tell, but the owl family treats them as an outcast due to their strange non-owlish ways...
Doodle birds are attacted to color and particularly art pens and pencils.
I managed to catch a photo of this particular DOodle bird who has since decided to take residence at my house by setting bait.
I put pencils and pens in places outside, and waited....He seemed to be attracted to the red ones...

I waited and ...SUCCESS!

He took the bait!
Since taking residence, we have named this particular Doodle bird 'Mine' due to he thinks every pencil or pen is HIS. So, if you decide to let one take residence at your place, beware, they will take any and all pencils they find! He has started eyeing my yarn bin for nesting materials...I may be in trouble if another shows up....

I didn't  make this, I was given this yesterday by my Mamaw. It was made by her mother, Ma, my great grandmother, many years ago. Ma, made the towel out of a flour sack (one can still read the faded stamping of the maker of the flour on the back side) then embroidered it. I think its one of the cutest designs ever and of course priceless since it was made by her. Just wanted to share my treasure

Here is a pic of a pillow I made for a friends birthday. I am glad she liked it cause i put my favorite (very difficult button to part with!) button in the center of the flower. Anywho...here it is


Thanks for looking!

Any other GWTW fans out there? I adore clark gable and vivian leigh,  the movie and book as well...would anyone else be interested in a gone with the wind swap?
 

i had an old pair of overalls that I use to wear but they no longer fit, and kiddo needed a new coat for this fall, sooooo I did an 'overall overhaul'!
front:

Back:

made the back yoke where its grabbable for the running off preschooler safety issues:

when it was in pieces:

Oh and kiddo picked the yarn used to crochet the collar.
thanks for checking it out!  comments welcome.

At my house we go through TONS of these things weekly, and I just thought it was a shame for all of these to just go to the dump cause they had to have some other uses surely,...
SO, the popcicle clutch was born!
Here it is completed:


And here is what it was before:
(excuse the much in need of a manicure hands please!haha)


I just washed them out after they were eaten and let them dry, then cut lengths of ribbon to insert into them, then basket weaved them together after sewing my first base pannel of them in an alternated color row.
Added a backing to have a liner and viola!
I didnt have a zipper to put in it, but I will sew one in later...
anyway, another use for these little thingies!

Thanks for looking 

Ok, so they arent great, but they are my first attempt at crochet food & I stink at following instructions SO i have to make it up as I go.....
Am I the only one who knows what DC< SC and all that means but gets  TOTALLY lost when trying to follow it? 

Anywho, we have a mushroom, an onion ring & a little orange...


Trying to start on these for a christmas gift for a kiddo
