I don't know what they are, but they grow like weeds

Have seen these around so many places and the last time said "enough loving, start making" so made a few to happy-up my own little home. Love them most planted in the grass just like this though. Wouldn't it be cool if life were so cool and magical? Oh wait, it is.

Stripes (and straps)

A crocheted rug I made for the bathroom floor. Love how it turned out, so colorful it makes me happy just seeing it. Since I am NOT a morning person, every little thing I can do to make mornings happier is a good thing. All cotton and super absorbant. Next one I make will be double-thick though, with two strands held together throughout.

I have had a few requests for the camera straps and think I will be doing those. If you're interested, let me know. These will be sleeves that slide over your existing strap, so I think $20 is a fairer price, since the others you can buy come with the strap as well (hence their higher price.) I figure if someone needs a strap sleeve, they must already have the camera and thus, the strap. Can someone with a Canon strap measure it's length and width and let me know. I only have Nikon and want to make sure I get it right for both cameras. Thanks!

Quilted camera strap

Love how this turned out! Only took 3 tries, LOL, 'cuz I can have some stupid girl moments, but I perservered. Even put in an elastic-topped cell phone pocket because, with 3 daughters, imy cell is pretty much a lifeline to what's going on - and the elastic keeps it from slipping out without making it hard to get out when I want to. Shade made me promise to tell you the source of the elastic. I wanted to finish so badly (this being the third try and all) and I didn't have any elastic on hand, so I scavenged a pair of Indiana's outgrown underwear and cut the elastic from the waistband. Shade thinks it's hilarious and disgusting and all I could say was "I cut it from the waistband, not like the crotch or anything." So its even a recycled kinda project. I've had a few requests for these, so if I start to make them, I promise to use only new, non-underwear, elastic!

Sunshine in a bag

Here is that last of the yellow. Love this one so much I had to keep it myself instead of put it up for sale. It makes me happy, which is all you can ask for, right?

Front and back are different, appliqued with yellow strip scraps on a very light beige heavy cotton. Sunny and fun for Spring!

Bags

A few recent bags. I am in love with the lemon yellow right now. I have one more to photograph, which used the last of my yellow, so a few new colors should be showing up soon.

1. Quilted lunch bag, 2. Large quilted ditty bag, 3. Quilted wallet / wristlet, 4. Strip quilted makeup case
