TOOTH FAIRY PILLOW

WOW!!! Thursday already, where has the week gone. Its amazing when you are busy crafting, how fast the days go by.

Today I wanted to post a little Tooth Fairy Pillow which I designed for my oldest granddaughter Lilyana. She recently turned 6 years old on Christmas Day.
In Sept. Lilyana started kindergarten and is doing very well, but shes at that age where the baby teeth start to come out.
So, she had said to me, Na Na I have 2 loose teeth and I am worried about putting them under my pillow for the tooth fairy when the teeth fall out. I asked her why and she said that my little sister Sophia might take them, too cute.
So, I said that I would make her something to put the teeth in and I came up with this design.

The tooth on the front of the pillow is a pocket to put her teeth in.

Well needless to say both teeth fell out and the tooth fairy left her some money.
Now, Lilyana is patiently waiting for more teeth to become loose.

I also used purple princess material for the pillow, because its her favorite.

If you look close at the tooth pocket you will see a little mouth where I sewed 2 teeth for her smile.

Hope you enjoyed this craft idea.

Until the next time, I hope you have a creative & Blessed crafty day.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CROCHET HAT

Well here we are in the middle of the week & been busy crocheting.
Yesterday, I got a pattern from  Loop Leigh Loops.
I joined Hooked on Hookin which is on Facebook & got the pattern which Nancy had posted.

This pattern is easy & works up quickly.
I wanted to give it a try last night & it was done in no time.
I want to make two hats for both my little granddaughters & one is done so far.
I have to pickup more yarn at AC Moore when I go out in a different color, so each girl has their very own.
Now I will have to find a cute hat pattern for my grandson.
I just can't make something for one grandchild, I always want to make for all three.

That was a fun hat to crochet.

I hope you have enjoyed it, so until the next time.

Have a creative & Blessed craft day.

CROCHET VISOR CAP

Good morning,

Today I am posting a hat that I crocheted for my new daughter-in-law. She has this pretty blue suede coat that I love on her, so I wanted to make a hat to go with it.

The pattern that I used if from Red heart called a Visor Cap. The yarn that I used is Red hearts super saver in Windsor blue. This is a  darker  blue than how it looks in the pic, it has to be the lighting when I took it why it looks lighter in color.
It has a band across the front & to each side of the band you crochet what looks to resemble buttons.

This pattern works up very easy & quickly. Then before you know it you have a nice warm but stylish hat to wear, don't you think so?

What kinds of hats have you done, because I would surely like to see your work. Post me a pic or leave a comment here and please tell me what you think about this hat.

So until the next time, I hope you get a lot of crocheting done I'm surely going to try to.

Have a wonderful & Blessed day.

Hugs, Dee

The All Seasons Wristers

Happy Monday,

I hope everybodys weekend was a great one, mine was pretty quiet.
Saturday, we had gorgeous weather, warmer than usual & not bitter cold like it has been.
 I spent some time crocheting, its always so relaxing to me.
How many crocheters do I have out there & what have you been crocheting?

This is one of the projects I did, a pattern from  Lion Brand. They are called ALL SEASON WRISTERS , crocheted with sock yarn. These are a nice weight fingerless glove to keep your hands warm, but leaving your fingers free.
My oldest son has a car repair shop & my daughter-in-law works in the office. So when its cold she can wear these & still be able to access the computer.
Yet they are still warm enough to wear outside.
She loves the color of purple so I used a variegated yarn with purple tones in it.
I just might make a pair for myself to wear in my craft room when its chilly, since we have been trying to keep the thermostat down in our home.

Hope you like this idea & maybe give it a try. If you do not crochet & would like a pair, just send me an email. I then can let you know how to get a pair from me.
Until next time, may you have a wonderful crafty day & a Blessed one.

Hugs, Dee

Hand Painted Lighted Potpourri Glass Jar

Hello there to all my crafty friends,

Today I decided to post a hand painted glass jar that I did as a gift for my very dear friend.

I have made & sold several of these in a medium size like this one & also a larger size, too.
If you need a gift or just one for yourself, email me & I can let you know what the price would be.

The flowers were done in yellow, purple, pink & white.
I used  Folk Art enamel paints from Plaid. This paint is so easy to use & dries quickly.
When done painting, you just put it in an oven to finish, this way it can be washed & the paint won't come off.

Inside the jar, I put potpourri & mini clear lights with a crocheted doily to cover top of jar.
Then accented with a strip of fabric for the bow.

The warmth from the mini lights brings out the fragrance of the potpourri.
This makes a great accent to any room & a nice little night light , too.
You can use any scent potpourri or essential oil you like.

I hope you enjoyed this idea.
Until the next time, hope you have a wonderful & Blessed day.
Hugs,
Dee
