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

Wedding Card With Butterflies

Good evening blog friends,

Comments Please, it would help me in future posts on what you would like to see here.

Today, I thought I'd post a pic of the wedding card I made for my son & daughter-in-law.
Since part of the theme was butterflies, I wanted to incorporate them in the design.

I used  scraps of one color print, one color solid & an off white card stock for the back ground.

Using my Cricut Expression, I used the following carts;

Sentimentals cart for the butterflies,

Happily Ever After cart for this saying &

Sweethearts cart for Hugs & Kisses

& Mr & Mrs.

This card came together very quick & easy.

Tomorrow I will be posting something completely different.

Hope you will stop by to see & leave your comments & or questions for me.

So, until the next time Happy Crafting & hope that you had a wonderful & Blessed day.

Hugs, Dee

The Bird Cages To Hold The Wedding Gift Cards

Hello again & how are your crafty days going so far?

This post is about the  metal bird cages that the bride wanted to use  for any wedding card gifts that the happy couple received at the reception.

Basia told me that each cage would have a name on the front, so the guests would know that they could put their card gifts inside.

So, I had the idea to quill the letters to spell out the words.

Used a cream colored card stock from Bazzil for base of the tag.
This I used Martha Stewart's butterfly border punch around the edges.
Cut a slightly smaller tag in a bright mango color to use as the contrasting base for the quilled letters.


The smaller cage says WISHES & the larger cage says CARDS.

Then I added ribbons & bows that I made, then finished it with a few butterflies, since they were part of the wedding theme.
Also used Stickles Diamond to accent the quilled letters.

I think they came out really nice. What do you think about this idea?

This first pic was taken right after I finished them & before they left for the reception venue.

This pic was taken at the reception.

I hope Y'all enjoyed this idea & how they turned out.

I look forward to all your comments, so please leave as many as you like.

I will also answer any questions that you might have for me.

Keep on crafting, believe me it keeps you busy & you will always make something that you will be proud of.

If you have done an idea like this or quilled something for a wedding, I would love to see your pics.

Until next time, I hope that you always have a wonderful & Blessed day.

Hugs, Dee
