Crafty Mode

I have been in a crafty mood!  I've posted these to Facebook but thought i would also blog about them really quick.  The crafty mood came right before Christmas.  And I showed you the things I made for Christmas (the Pokemon animals and cat toys).  But the crafting didn't stop there.  I got a gorgeous hat for Christmas, so I decided to make a scarf to match.

The I made this cute little bag the next day.

Then I thought I would attempt to make mittens.  I was going over to a friend's house and that seemed like a craft project I could take with me.  I found online instructions and began.  My friend Doris was telling me all along that it was going to be too big, but I said I had to follow the directions and then I would adapt when I make them for real.  Well this little mitten took SO long and it was the size of an Amazon woman that I decided I wasn't going to make another one.  But what was I going to do with this one?  I ended up taking the thumb off and Ashley wants them as socks.  I have yet to make another one but I probably will make this week.

Next project was requested by Ashley.  She drew a picture of a dress she wanted for her doll.  She brought me the fabric from all the fabric remnants that I have and I got right to work.  I do like how this turned out.

Then I got really ambitious!  I decided to make the outfit that Ashley's doll Julie came in for Ashley.  I really like how they turned out.  I have a friend who is going to crochet the hat and I need to find the shirt that goes underneath.  I found a short sleeve one that was actually the same fabric at TJMaxx, but it really needs to be a long sleeve shirt.

Yesterday I put on Facebook that I was going to miss all this crafting once school started back again.  But I'll tell you what- Today I was pooped.  I was ready to lay down all my crafting and somewhat relax.
