This month's chemo caps

I finished one more crocheted cap for this month's donation to the cancer center. The second picture is this month's total that I made. We had over 150 this month. In the last two and a half years, this group I work with has donated 4,677 hats to St. Jude and other area chemo centers! My work is just a pebble in the pond.

Bitty Baby Boy

This little boy baby is decked out in his green overalls. Unfortunately, the only baby buggy I have for him is baby blue. Oh well....lol. I'm thinking of selling these and using the money to donate to St. Jude or buy yarn for the group I work with that makes chemo caps for St. Jude and other area chemo centers.

Special Olympics Scarf

This scarf made for the scarf drive sponsored by Red Heart Yarn for the Winter Special Olympics. Their goal is to give every participant one. Any extras will be given to area homeless shelters. I made my donation in honor of Sean, my best friend's son who has Autism.

Blue mitten ornament #2

I had made this ornament especially for a close friend that is a blue lover and it seems to have gotten lost in our Christmas travels so I made her another one. These are so fun to make I didn't mind a repeat! It came off the needles completed tonight before the bitty baby project.

Bitty Baby

My Mom is going to laugh at this post. I made about a million of these when I was a kid and crocheted dresses and bonnets to my hearts content. Then I found these adorable little buggies and knew I had to make more for a new generation. This is my first in about 40 years and I learned a lot on this one. I used some of my grandmother's crochet cotton and went to town. I'm thinking of making more to sell in my empty etsy shop. I've always loved "bitty" things and enjoyed making this tonight as I wound down from the day. Now I'll be making babies again...I mean....only in the crafting sense. Lol! I also have blue buggies for my boy babies in their little shorts outfits. Will post them later on another night.

Slouch hat

Funny story... I knitted this with two strands of yarn on huge needles (19s I think). When I finished knitting it and bound it off the needles, it was so loose it flattened out like a huge frisbee! Lol! I've included a picture of it in that state with my hand so you can chuckle along with me. In the spirit of "making lemonade", I turned this lemon into the cutest slouch hat by crocheting a band of solid black on the bottom to pull it in. It turned out rather cute I think. Sorry, I had to model it myself as my cute model was with her boyfriend tonight. It would have looked better on a younger person, especially with her pretty lighter hair. Oh well. Here is my ultra cute slouch hat that.... I set put to make from the very beginning....yeah....that's the ticket!

1600 quilt

This quilt top is made of 1600 inches if 2" strips. They are joined each strip at an angle into one long strip 1600 inches long. Then you fold the strip in half and sew down the long side. Keep cutting the folded edge, sewing and cutting until it is a quilt top! Fast and easy. I plan to hang this in my office after I quilt it.

T-shirt scarf #2

Slow day at work. No one comes to see their therapist the day before New Years Eve. One of our case managers brought one of her clients and we taught her how to make t-shirt scarves with shirts from Dollar World. I gave it to my friend, Lindee.
