Educated Quilt?




This was a fun quilt. Made for my daughter, Kimberly when she was around 3 years old. If I am not badly mistaken this quilt also went to college with her, and the girls used it outside on the ground to sit on to do their homework.

I quilted around the animals, trains, etc. It has a yellow backing.

Sleeve pattern dresses.



These two dresses were made for two of my nieces. This is actually the sleeve pattern of my wedding dress, I simply changed colors on yarn and revised it a bit and made these little girl dresses.

Too bad I can't find my photo of DeEtta and Charity modeling these dresses, or I simply would have to display it, even those these girls are now grown women.

Latch hook

I wanted to try my hand at latch hook.
I made this rug for my bathroom when I was singe.




BUT, OH I Was so sad, The first time I washed it, WELL IT was ruined.

Every 4-5 row the whole row came out......
NO I NEVER TRIED TO DO ANOTHER ONE. AND I DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO VERNA RIG THIS ONE AND FIX IT. Do not know what I did wrong, but I do know that was a lot of hard work, that just went out the window that day.

Additional doilies



The purple one was done with 3 strands sewing threads at all times.

Crochet cover up.

When you crochet with 3 small strands of thread all at once it can create a challenge. But, so can making errors in your pattern.


I made a couple of these, and when I got done with this one, I noticed an error in the pattern, but since I didn't see it till I was done, YEP, I left it. Bet the girl who got it never knew there was an error in it.
Can you find the error?


The bottom one does not have the error in it.

Another Repair job completed.

BEFORE:


AFTER:


The other day when I was working on getting the service men's time cards from the day before, I spoke before I thought. Telling a service man that he needed to get his mother to fix his pants. And if she couldn't do it then he would need to bring them in so that I could fix them.

Working with the public the hole looked horrid. After all who wants to see the serviceman's underwear when he comes to fix your no heat or no cooling?

And I don't want to see them when he brings me his time from the day before's service calls.

So, Thursday morning he brought me his jeans for a repair job.
They are now ready to return to the office for everyday use.
Another patch job has been completed.

Cabbage Patch Fun

Carlie (the premie) was her favorite one. I don't remember what the other one's name was. After all I have slept dozens of times since she played with these.


When my daughter was small she loved her cabbage patch baby. So, I made her some extra clothes for her baby.



I know she had two shoes, but when I took these photos years later, I could only find one.

My sister, Martha made this one for her.
