Sand & Sea Purse

I got to test the Sand & Sea Purse for Turtlelvr.

Turtle Drawstring Bag I Tested

I was lucky to get to test this bag for Turtlelvr. I am one of her 'automatic' testers. I used Red Heart Super Saver (RHSS) yarn. The solid color is Light Periwinkle and the multi color is Ocean.

Here are some more projects I have done in the past couple of months.

Mini Shelled Messenger Bag & Matching Accessory Case

Here is my latest finished project. I am proud of how it turned out. The next one will look even better. I was so proud to be finished. It got old working with the same colors that long.

Rose Lawn 2009 Art Festival

These are the pictures I had sent to the art festival committee to see if I could sale at the art festival. I had to send in 3 pictures and had a hard time deciding on the white/blue scarf or the barrel bag photo. So I sent all 4 of these. The necklace and bracelet were crocheted using an I hook or a 5.5mm hook and jewelry wire, clasps and beads. The jewelry wire, beads and hook can be found at Wal-Mart or any craft store. I had gotten the beads, clasps, and wire from Hobby Lobby. Only the necklace had a clasp. All though I did not put a clasp on the bracelet you can put one on if you want to. I improvised the bracelet pattern.

I took the pictures myself. When my husband saw the picture of the white/blue scarf he asked how I got the black background. I told him I had put the scarf on the back of my computer chair. I figured a black background would help it show up really well. I was amazed at how great the picture turned out.

The images are click able so you can see the detail better.

Recovery

Well I went home the day of my surgery. The surgery went great well as great as it can.

I would have crocheted that day but I had a headache and was very tired. The next day I was back to crocheting. I have been crocheting every day since. Naturally, working on things for my art festival.

I want to thank every one for the kind words and prayers for a speedy recovery. It means a lot to me.

I am almost finished with a purse. I just have to sew on the strap and sew on the button and line it. I should be getting a sewing machine for my birthday. The lining the purse will have to wait until I get the sewing machine. When I do lining by hand it looks horrible. I will use the machine to sew the sides of the fabric together then attach it to the purse by hand.

Surgery...

Well on August 20th 2009 I will be having my
gallbladder removed. Hopefully, I will feel better
once I have recovered. I just hope I don't loose too
much crochet time.

My Current Projects

Well I am currently working on several projects.

1. Tote Bag for the Crochetville Kit Swap
2. Snowflakes
3. Scarf
4. Whipstitching my comfortghan squares together

I have been having horrible Gallbladder pains all week. So I can only crochet slowly. I am going to try and get pictures up of the items I have completed this month.

I am also crocheting my brother an afghan of the Simpsons.

Awesome Dollar Tree Haul

About 3 weeks ago I went to Dollar Tree and could not believe the yarn that they had. They had Caron Simply Soft Quick, Caron Baby Simply Soft, Lion Brand Fun Fur & Lion Brand Incredible. Here is a picture of what all I got that day.

My Crocheted Christmas Bell & Crocheted Thread Snowflake

This is 2 of the items I have made so far today a crocheted Christmas bell ornament I had made 2 of them. I only took a picture of one of them. The second item I made is a thread snowflake ornament.

Cartman From South Park Pattern

I created this pattern of Cartman from South Park with the free site Knit Pro. I am going to do this pattern in the Tunisian Stitch with the Afghan Crochet Hook.

Rose Lawn 2009 Art Festival

Two weeks ago I was accepted to sell items at my local annual art festival. I was screaming my head off for joy when I found out I was accepted. This is my first time selling my crocheted work. The art festival is September 19 & 20 this year. I have already crocheted a scarf, pot holder set, magnet, snowflakes and angel ornaments for the festival. I have a scarf I am working on and a penguin amigurumi.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog 'Magic Fabrics'. I have been crocheting now for one and a half years. I love it! I am married, I have 2 cats & 1 dog. My cats still try to get in my yarn every chance they get. I learned to crochet by watching the I Can't Believe I Am Crocheting in Motion DVD. I have been hooked ever since (pun intended).
