A Shrubbery!

These are my sister in law's birthday socks from October! I've had them done for a while but hadn't bothered to take a picture of them and haven't had a chance to give them to her! I wrapped up the one that was finished at the time and gave it to her for her birthday. Upon opening it, she held it up and said, "But I have two feet." Happy Finally Birthday Socks, Amy! I was home with my parents this weekend and stuck my feet in the flower pots on the deck. Very organic, isn't it?

Kauni Purse WIP

I am working on pleat 11 of 14 on my Kauni purse! I can't wait until this weekend when I'll have some time to work on it! The pattern says you need a small amount of a second ball, but I'm already thinking about how I can slim this down just slightly. The display purse in the shop was knit from a vivid rainbow colorway but I bought the very last ball! I'm hoping I can get an entire purse out of it!

ERI ornament

This is another resin/jar lid ornament I made. I keep all my dvd discs in large cd wallets and then I recycle the cases and liners/notes. Of course there are certain ones I just can't bear to part with because of fabulous pictures and I've saved them for "no particular reason". It's no surprise then that I saved the notes from Elizabeth: The Golden Age! I used copper leaf flakes and bugle beads to frame Bess and I think it looks quite regal! ;)

This ornament will soon have a companion because Mom has asked me to make one from an old tag she has kept. Years ago we got some lemon curd that had a tag with a print of Elizabeth from an actual painting. Mom has since saved that tag and it's hung from the handle of her china cabinet. She suggested making an ornament out of that paper tag and I happen to have the perfect lid for that: Devon Double Cream! I'm not even going to paint the lid!
