My first Project for 2012
Personal Scented or Unscented Warmers
Have you ever had an ear ache or tooth ache maybe tummy troubles and just a little warmth is what is called for. I have the answer my handmade Personal warmers. they can be scented with a soothing Lavender scent or unscented, your choice. Each warmer has it's own beautiful or whimsical pouch.
$10 each $3 SH includes 1 heat pack and 1 removable washable cover of your choice.
To warm place pack in microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 min. be careful they can get very hot if over heated. If you would like them infused with Lavender scent I can do that also.
These little packs are good also as cold packs just place pack in plastic zip lock bag and put in freezer. Always remove warmer from its cover before heating or freezing

size approx. 8"x4"
Christmas Presents for 2011
In the new year 2012 I plan to do more crafting and sewing as I will eventually be getting my own little space to play in. On this page I will post different projects that I complete. I also hope that as I start sewing and crafting I will be able to get a business going and selling my handmade Items. Today I am posting the items that I created for Christmas presents this year, I was pleased with the results.
This 1st picture is of Some dish cloths and scrubbies that I crocheted and embellished with crocheting.
I taught myself how to crochet so I could do these projects. Youtube is an awesome tutorial program.
These next two pictures are pillow cases but they are not ordinary pillow cases. They are what I call Euro cases. With these Euro cases you will never again find yourself in the middle of the night tugging the pillow case back onto your pillow. These beautiful cases have a little secret that keeps your pillow tuck securely inside.
And now the last project completed, kitchen towels.I have decided to be more economic and not use so many disposable items and to try and save money in our home. My husband is approaching retirement age 6 yrs from now and we want to save so we can travel. So this is the first step in our savings plan.
I made these hanging towels so I could cut down on paper towels and they are much prettier. Because I learned how to crochet ruffled edging I added it to these two towels for my daughter and daughter n law.
I you are following my blog let me know what you think of these items.
