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.
