Now I just need to figure out how to get directly to the link. I’m getting closer.
I love sewing on the cheap! I mean utilizing donated or thrift shop or clearance fabric to make something truly valuable! Same with knitting, I particularly like to make baby things because I can use a small amount of yarn that can’t be much used for something else and make it useful.
When I mess up on the prayer vigil post, I click on “report abuse” to ask for help in corrections. You get very fast results that way.
I am into yoyos in a big way and also make dollhouse real patchwork quilts. Waste not, want not.
I love repurposing fabrics from other outfits (or sheets) to make new items. You should show us your end result when it’s finished!
Thank you! I change the front porch decorations nearly every month. Right now I still have up my after-Christmas winter decorations, and I will probably change these out on my next nice day. Probably Sunday or Monday.
That’s really nice. I used to do that when I had a house I liked. July 4th was my favorite! I hate the house now and don’t care about decorating. Lipstick on a pig.
I will
Oh, that toddler dress is precious!
I am quite old, but still have a little dress my grandmother made for me. A teddy bearess is wearing it now, and sits where I pass by every day. Thanks, Gran!

Excellent instructions for the 20 pointed stars with print out pattern for 6” star on Etsy.com No financial interest, just a happy customer.
Such a beautiful frock! Very ‘Little House.’ Love it! :)
Love those potted hearts! Very creative. :)
The HTML Sandbox here at FR Will show you the way!

Thank you! They are made from cardboard which I covered with batting and then fabric. The branch is just hot glued to the back side and covered with more fabric to hide it. These are only outside for a month, and I store them in the basement, so they have held up for several years already. I have another version with shamrocks for a St. Patrick’s Day theme.
Also thanks for html sandbox link. Always good to have a refresher.
The hunt has been on for a knitted baby blanket pattern I like - so far, this one is leading the pack ... main body should knit pretty quickly - the borders will be trickier, but are very pretty. I'm still looking around so there's a possibility I'll find something I like better.
Only a 16 page download - LOL! She must have instructions for every single row!
Thank you. I hadn’t given up. I just grew weary of getting it wrong. I knew my link was good, I just couldn’t get the <>\/img etc, etc in the proper order.
You did great!
That’s beautiful! I never learned how to knit, and I’ve never been very good at crochet. Something I still plan on working on…one of these days.
