DSCN0192 
I'm trying out my first pineapple doily courtesy of  Daniella Joe's Blog
I have had to stop though for the next few days. I have not crocheted in a while and it shows.lol  My neck kinked on me and then my hand this morning. Hand is better neck is almost there. I'm going to wait a few days though before resuming just to make sure I don't screw up my neck again.  OUCH!

But here is what I have so far. Pretty huh.  I'm on row 8 out of 77 rows.   I'll keep you all updated with pictures as I progress and I have linked to  Daniella's name her link to her blog. You ought to check it out.

Crocheters Are Intelligent, not Stupid or Ignorant

Crocheters Are Intelligent, not Stupid or Ignorant.

New Pattern up

orang terra cotta


This time it's afghans. lol Lion brand site has recently come out with a gadget on their site that you can create your own afghan patterns. Over the next few weeks I will be releasing several.
I hope that the pattern is understandable as I am still trying to work out some kinks in the header wording. It seemes to have cut off some of the letters.

So do be surprised if the lettering looks weird. I am working on finding a way to fix that.
You can find the first Afghan pattern up on Craftsy in my pattern store.

This is cool!

I found this on you tube and thought this was too good not to share, especially if you have children.  This is just  a grand find.

Leisure Arts on YouTube has Crochet videos geared toward teaching children how to crochet.

Craft tutorial:old Glass Christmas Ball Ornaments



Tutorial

How to resurrect old Glass Christmas Ball Ornaments


Do you have old ancient glass ball ornaments lying around that have the art wearing off of them.  There is a way to resurrect those old ornaments into looking like you just bought them.

All you need is.

GLASS Ornament balls that have the artwork worn off or almost worn off.  I am not sure it will work on  anything other than the old glass ones.

a container round or square

Dish soap and warm water.

Tree tinsel any color

Band aids (Be careful those edges are sharp. Especially don't handle them to rough or drop them. eek)



First in a large pale or pan  fill with warm water and dish soap about half way up.


Immerse the ornaments one at a time rubbing your fingers gently on them to rub off any excess color or decoration. soaking them as well. Until all the color and stuff is off them.


Then once all dried inside and out take any color of tinsel  Mine here are all silver.


And  I would probably take something rather skinny and not sharp stick  poke the tinsel inside the ball carefully.  Fill them up to the rim of the ball.



Then place its topper on and voila you have a virtually brand new ornament.




They glisten in the multicolored or white light and are beatiful decoration for any tree, wreath.
