This is my "Baby Buetal". These items are also known as Baby Cocoons. I made a few of them for newborn portrait props. It's my own design, and I will be making more. I may start selling them, I will see how well they are received.

Collage Crochet Pink & Purple Scarf

I have become a BIG fan of "collage crochet". Collage crochet is when you use various colors and weights of fibers when crocheting a piece.

The scarf below was the first item that I collage crocheted. I did it in pinks and purples. I used various "yarns": acrylic, mohair, chenille, polyester, ribbon, fun fur, eyelash, and more! This scarf is currently for sale in my eBay store.

I am a big fan of using varying shades of the same color, and I am currently working on a blue toned afghan in collage crochet.

LeeAnn's Birthday Present :-)

My friend LeeAnn likes to brew loose tea and was saying awhile back that she need a new teapot that she can brew the loose tea in.  So I bought her a cheerful yellow teapot and made a doily/potholder out of cotton to go with it.

Happy Birthday LeeLee!!! HUGS!
