More Pink Undies

I completed more Sunday Undies this week.
I especially like the rose with the fragrance liner.

A few months ago, I came upon a blog that gave me an interesting idea. Small crocheted pansies like the ones you would normally see on a doily, were placed on a crocheted string and made into a bunting, or what we may call a garland. She used the pattern from a doily to make the pansies. I happened to have a few doilies with various flowers crocheted on them. I thought that the flowers could be removed from the doily and made into a garland, so the bunting would already be vintage and less crocheting would be needed. I reused the center doily cotton My inspiration blog is Knot Garden at http://www.knotsgarden.blogspot.com and the post was from July 13, 2009. My idea worked very well. I hoped to save the green leaves, but the yarn was too weathered and it broke as I unraveled the top. I saved one and placed it by a flower to show how it could look with leaves. As you see, I did not use a pansy, but I think it is equally beautiful.

Sunday Undies

I like to prepare for Valentine's Day, long before it is here. It is a time that anyone can declare love and compassion for anyone despite age and gender, (relative, friend, co-worker). It is also the time that couples declare undying love for each other. Valentine's Day makes me want to prepare the table for tea. I have made a few items to show off that favorite teapot and put a little pink foo-foo in your life. The winter is so dull here and we need to add some bright colors that awaken our eyes and say "Hello!" The top 2 pictures show a Sunday Undie made with blue fabric printed with snow flakes and novelty yarn.

I just finished a new hat made from novelty homespun wool yarn for a special friend. The yarn is made from BFL wool and it has little twists coming out of the wool at random spots. This yarn reminds me of worms. The colors look lighter in the pictures than they really are. The color is blues and greens.

Frost on the Trees

I was out showing an apartment and I had to take a video of the frost on the trees and the ice on the lake.

Holiday Quilt

I received a lap quilt from a resident at the apartment community where I work. She makes lap quilts for those who have greater needs than herself. She repaid me for donated fabric with this quilt. What goes around truly comes around.
