I’ve been busy making little things… The good thing about making little things is that you can do them in between all the one hundred and one other things that happen in life… like birthdays. My baby turned 12 yesterday. That would be Matt…. who is really not anywhere near a baby anymore, but he will always be my baby, right? Elizabeth made him a volcano cake:

The lava was icing and lollies… lots of lollies… no wonder they all felt sick last night! I was good and didn’t have any cake, but did have some lollies… can’t resist M&M’s – oh had some of the Oreos you see in the background too. But, I was good and crocheted this last night after dinner:

Please excuse the picture. It is late and I couldn’t be bothered getting out of my chair. What do you think? A crocheted water bottle cover. Elizabeth wants it. So do I. I think I will have to make some more…

Ok, so then remember those little wedges of fabric I showed you a photo of a few posts ago? I turned them into this:

A little needle keeper….

I like it 🙂 Who is it for??? Dunno yet….

Today I tackled a little project that I have been wanting to make ever since I saw it on the web:

A gorgeous tea wallet!!!

I used the tutorial from here. I am going to have to make a heap more of these – they were so quick and easy. But I think I will adapt it to hold six teabags… I’ll keep you posted on that one.

Then with the same fabric I designed another needle case:

I had a special friend in mind when I designed this. I call her the Yoyo Queen 🙂 She makes tons of them, so I thought it would be nice to make her a needle keeper with a yoyo on the front.

Doesn’t the inside remind you of an Oreo? Ok, I know, I ate too many of them… anyway, I am going to make another in different colors for my friend, and this one can be for someone else.

You know the problem with making all these cute things?????? I want to keep them all!!!! I can see I am going to be very busy in near future!

It’s late… off to bed… tomorrow is the next bom, so come back soon 🙂
