CROCHETING FOR A CHANGE....

I decided to do some crocheting for a change. My granddaughter wanted to learn how to do that, so I couldn't let her down, could I? That meant going online to 'refresh' my skills, since I had not done any crocheting for many years.........




I tried a few simple things and I have had a lot of fun doing these coasters. Another great item to add to my 'quick, last minute gift' stash! I like to use strips of fabric to hold a set of four coasters together.

BABY GIFT OR WASHCLOTH



An all-time favorite: the humble dish/wash cloth! Such fun to make and with today's wonderful yarns at our disposal, they are always a welcome item to give or to use.
I always have some of these ready for an unexpected small gift. This is perfect for a baby shower, or just to welcome a new neighbor.

I love making my own gift tags and cannot resist buying cute scraps of fabric whenever I allow myself to visit a fabric shop!

Visit my Etsy shop to look at other items.

The gift tag is blank on the backside.
