My niece is going to a Dude Ranch next month, so I thought it’d be fun to do a cowboy hat for her since her older sister has one. She is one, and the only pattern I had was from the book The Happy Hooker. So I did less stitches and used a smaller hook….

One of my passions is purses. I love buying them and making them – although I really haven’t made that many. Here is one I made for a friend. It started out as a market bag but turned more into a book bag as I don’t think it’s really her taste to use it everyday….

I was looking throuugh some pictures on the computer when I came across a headband I had made for an ehow article. So I thought I would share it here. It’s a very simple headband with a very simple ‘flower.’ Truth is, when I did this I hadn’t made many crocheted flowers so I just…

Here is another item I did for the Avatar swap on Craftster. I decided not to send since my partner mentioned she didn’t want dolls or items that just sat around.

I recently downloaded Picasa to help me organize all of my photos and found that I had taken some project pictures that I hadn’t yet posted. Here is a purse I made back at Christmas. The handle is Tunisian crochet. I had made the handles for a purse that I never did finish. When I…

When I asked my friend what to get her 8 year old for her birthday, she said anything girlie. So I bought a couple of small toys and decided to also make a purse. I had some fun yarn and thought it’d be cute to trim a small purse with it. I found a cute…
