Jasseron Sweater

 Finished my Jasseron sweater a couple weeks ago. I wanted a sweater with a simple back and front but with patterned sleeves. I mulled over a many different options but this one was the closest I could find to what I wanted on Ravelry. I wasn't sold on the pattern at first because even though its a "raglan" it's knit in four separate pieces! (Not my fave, but hey it was a free pattern) I had to fanagle the sleeves and neck a bit in the sewing together process, but all in all not a bad finished sweater!

I used wool yarn from Briar Rose that I got at Maryland Sheep and Wool last year

Lego Quilt

A friend of mine commissioned a wedding quilt for her twin sister this past spring. She was very flexible with colors and only specified it be a triangle pattern and "Not too girly" 

This was the end result and I love it! Limiting myself to solids is not my norm, but it looks so pretty I am thinking of making another.  

The backing 

Hexagon Table Runner

 I love working on projects like this. They use up scraps and turn out so pretty. Non-crafty people (and even crafty people) are baffled that someone would want to hand-sew tiny shapes together. All I can say is, if you love doing it, the process doesn't feel like work.

 I chose this fun print for the back

The details up close

Paper Cutouts

 Ive been filling my notebook with a lot of paper cutouts and collages. Heavily inspired by the crafty works of Beci Orpin. I love her stuff and her craft books are always full of colorful fun items that inspire.

 My profile with a paper banner. Also Diamonds, LOTS of diamonds.

I did a fallish/Thanksgiving themed page last week.

Color Affection Shawl

 Finally finished this shawl last week. Blocking it was a little tricky because I carried my yarn too tightly. I blocked the edge in a scallop pattern because of excess edging.

I think it came out rather nice, just in time for fall (please get here soon) 

Large Mushroom Plushies

 Made some large size mushrooms this past week. I've made a lot of smaller versions of these, but I thought it was high time I added some large ones to the shop.

This one is just asking to be cuddled. 

Custom Orders

 Over the last 6 months or so I've had some custom orders on Etsy. I had a request for a Iron man inspired jellyfish complete with an apple. (heaven knows why) I also had someone request a purple jellyfish with orange eyes. Which turned out super adorable.

Below is a knightly dinosaur complete with sword ready to fight deadly foes.

Kudos to the girl who asked for the dino, tons of creative idea points go to her. 

A lavender top hat wearing octopus was requested as well, cause why not?

Finished Cross Stitch

I finished this cross stitch last December but (cough) never posted it. These are lyrics from one of my favorite worship songs. As you can see I made a few (maybe a lot ) of mistakes in this piece. In my defense it was my first large cross stitch project. Now to find a frame to fit it.

Erik's Geektastic Quilt

 This past Christmas I made my little brother a geek quilt incorporating Star Wars, Marvel, Star Trek and DC. I used a variation of a "Shoo fly" block.

 The back is mostly from leftover yardage and a bit of scrap patchwork in the middle.
