Lacy Wrist Warmers

These dainty sweetheart wrist warmers are so quick and easy, you will want to make them in several colors.

Crochet Pattern for Lacy Wrist Warmers, warmth in a unique & elegant way.

Above, wrist cuff photos are from 2018. Below are a black pair from 2013. The picture quality and the pattern have improved drastically, I would say 😅 

Still some of my favorite wrist warmers.

Pattern can be found in Doily Designs Etsy shop. 

Note for crocheters interested in this pattern;

The pattern for these gloves calls for worsted weight yarn, which makes for a quicker, more relaxing project, great for newer crocheters. But above photos use Caron Simply Soft yarns, which can be used with this pattern, and will yield a softer, more flexible wrist warmer. Simply use the pattern the same and count on doing more stitches.

And since she has saved things through the years, it is fun to see the difference in style and skill.  Below are Sunflower Doilies gifted to my MIL. The one with black is from 2017, and the front 2 are 2021.  

It is always nice to know that your love and efforts are appreciated and loved back. <3

Camel Cozy

🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪

After sharing the wood camel, I was inspired to share another adorable camel that my Mom made and gifted me.  My loving, beautiful, talented Mother made this stunning embroidered camel on a hand made cozy for Christmas one year. It is my favorite, and I absolutely adore it! She does amazing work.

How wonderful is this, I get to carry a camel with me, made with love from my Mom, where ever I want 😍

Wooden Camel

 🌟🐪💝

October 17, 2022

Adorable wood CAMEL 

Back in 2003, for my birthday, my Mom made this wooden CAMEL art piece. 

First, she used her table saw to cut it out of a piece of wood, then burned in the textures, and painted it with stain and gold paint. 

I was living with her at the time, and it had lived with her, hanging on the wall of her home for all these years, until now. For my birthday this year, my Mom surprised me by bringing me this adorable camel. Now it can adorn my wall! Isn't it absolutely precious!

💖 Love ya, Mom!

💖🐪🌟

Mom may not be able to make You one of these cute fella's, but she still makes all kinds of beautiful stuff. If you would like her to make something special for you, please visit Universal Stitching and Printing Designs website, or here on Facebook.

Sewing Machine Cover

Sewing machine cover and gift set.

Sewing machine cover pattern found in a magazine, made for my m.i.l. years ago. 

First quilting project ever and it was pretty addictive. 

The flowers turned out cute and I like the idea of using ribbon and scrap fabric to make flowers. 

Buttons were used in center of flowers and a little covered box in matching fabric to store what nots in, made with a cardboard gift box.

 

The gift bags are hand made as well. Painted picture on brown bag, with holes and yarn for handle. 

The sewing box was store bought, but went well with the theme.

Handmade card is paper 'stained glass'.

This was a fun to make birthday gift.

Thank you for stopping by.

May you find joy and inspiration in life.

Best wishes and happy crafting!

Years ago, when we would visit Grandma's (aka, my m.i.l.), she would always be sewing something for her home, so on her birthday, after seeing a sewing machine cover in a magazine, I was inspired to gift her a handmade sewing machine cover.

 

Doing a lot of sewing myself at the time, I knew how nice a machine cover could be, and maybe if it is interesting enough, she would use it more. She loves light colors, and I happened to have some scrap material, from her, that worked out perfect. This was my first quilting adventure. It was quite fun and inspired me to make more quilted items later.

This amazing puzzle was put together by my S.I.L. ⛪🧩

Happy Birthday!!
