A Season of Bags

I like to make handmade gifts for Christmas.  This year I made everyone at work a carry-all bag.  I picked two complementary fabrics and created what you see here.  I think the design turned out to be a real winner.  

Oliver's Open House! New Scarves!

I love a challenge, especially when it's to find a new purpose for something old.  When My friend Sherry at Oliver's Antiques in Jacksonville, AR asked me if I could do something with a box full of crocheted flowers her mother-in-law had made years ago I was very excited!  The flowers had been done from scraps and hardly any of them matched.  So the challenge began...

I had been working with Granny squares for a quilt and realized these were a perfect center-piece for a square, but then what?

I found two that matched and so my first Oliver Scarf was born...

I very much enjoy finding the perfect yarn to compliment the flowers.
