Crochet Me Crazy

This is a card order Alison completed. This order was very specific on what she wanted on her cards and she even brought Alison some old cards to cut up to make these. Alison is selling her handmade cards for $3 each.

and they are free, too!  I'll be saving some of these to make for Alison's card making

 damn it Janet, let's crochet!

I got some new No. 3 crochet thread colors.  I've found No. 3 thread is the perfect weight for making the little motifs for cards and scrapbooking motifs.  I absolutely LOVE the Aunt Lydia's Bamboo Ice Crochet Thread. 



I wish it came in more color selections!

I've actually got too many projects going on right now. I haven't worked on my rag rug in a bit. I have some more sheets I bought at the thrift store to cut up. I'm working on my Wedding Ring afghan. Then, when I'm only going to sit down for a few minutes at a time, I make the flowers for Alison's cards.



I think I'm making way for flowers than she could actually use! HA! But they are so fun to make.... I wonder if I could sell them and to who and where? .....

A couple more cards...the store is requesting Mother's Day Cards...



I've been pulling some of these giant things that were taking over part of my yard!


They are really pretty actually and I left quite a few but I think they were choking out other types of weeds and grass that I want to grow for Grace to eat.

Look at the Century Plants that are starting to bloom! These are by the gate to our road -- I think they are really neat looking!



Now, I just need to remember to bring my camera down to the garden in the morning when I water! It's growing beautifully! A couple of days ago the corn started coming up!

So tonight I will share some of Michael's leatherwork he's completed.

I haven't got a picture of it yet but he came into the house today with a bible cover that we all looked at and said..... WOW....

Michael was able to get a great deal on a large lot of leather working tools. Our boss had met a lady that came into her shop whose husband was a leather worker before he passed away. She was considering selling his supplies. Our boss helped negotiate a deal with her and Michael was able to buy a huge lot of stuff! He was a very happy camper and even a little overwhelmed I think! Well, he can definately
open up shop now!

Here are a few of Alison's cards she makes and sells.
