2023 crafting for all...

Crochet hat I finally finished!

Nice work! My crochet hats look like a first grader made them. Yours is so fine.

Valentine letters against my grandfathers old told chest. I love finding bits and pieces on my walks and planning how they can become letters. The candy box is filled with Bakelite and celluloid buttons.
And the heart pin cushion is on an old side saddle stirrup a cousin found in a field.

Thanks! It was my first hat i made. I made a scarf first to get the hang of it.

Way to cute!

Just wondering, has anyone tried felting horses or other animals before?

Did you have a pattern for that fine looking hat. I have knitted one similar before, but I'm much better with crochet.

I just followed a video on YouTube. I don’t remember the pattern

I still have to get a finished picture, but I finished this quilt yesterday. It's a gift for a friend.

Are those pencils? If not, pardon my quilting ignorance! I really like that dark background.

Thank you, very much. I only had to follow a pattern, so

Yes, they are. I picked the pattern for a teacher.
The background is a black with multi-color confetti like print.

How cute! That is a cool pattern, love the pencils

A garland made of old coverlet. I used paper buttons in the center of the hearts. Paper buttons were made during WW II when metal was scarce. Did you notice that wonderful horse figurine? I got it at the local antique store in its original box. It was made in South Africa.

The horse is wonderful! The garland is wonderful! I love the part about paper buttons. It is a testament to how people make do in times of less and nothing.

Actually, from your photos, I think your whole house would be wonderful to see!

I keep trying to go more primitive in my house, but cannot let go of things that are traditional. Call me eclectic...

Has anyone made pine cone flowers? These are my first. The cones really absorb the paint! I need to go over them to add more paint and brighten them up. If I make more, I think I will spray paint them first so the color coat doesn't take so much paint.
The board they are on is from the black school in our town, which closed around 1960. The school was named after the poet Paul Dunbar.

I have not heard of these. I love them. I think I would like to try. How do you flatten the cones out?

Just cut them with garden loppers. Don't flatten them.
