| I knit this snake for my grandson. I had knit him a giraffe and an elephant too, but when he saw the picture of the snake, he wanted a snake too. So it's finally done. See giraffe here and elephant here. |

Zippered Purse/Bag
 |
| I made this bag because I wanted a zippered purse. It's essentially an oversized makeup-style bag that I added a strap to. I quilted the fabric first myself and then made the bag. I added a swivel hook to clip my car keys to also. |
 |
| Christmas tree skirt I made with Dresden Plate wedges. My daughter asked me to make a small tree skirt and I made this for her. |

Poppies in a Vase Quilt
 |

 |
| I finally finished this quilt. I had made the top over a year ago and just hadn't taken the time to quilt it. So finally I decided to quilt it. I cut the edges in a wavy shape and used bias binding to bind the quilt. It's done and came out nice and is hanging up now. |

Crocheted Washcloths
 |
| I am trying to teach myself to crochet. While I have crocheted the basic stitches before, I never made anything with crochet before. This is a cotton washcloth using 4 different crochet stitches that I made. I find knitting to be easier, but then I have been knitting for years. |
 |
| I had enough leftover cotton yarn to make a smaller washcloth all in single crochet. |
Hand Knit Socks
 |
| I knit these socks with Knit Picks Essential sock yarn. It self patterns as you knit. |
 |
| The tiniest sock ever! This one was rather tricky to knit around the toe, just because it was so small. It was knit with 000 size needles. I was going to make 2 socks and make them into earrings, but for now I only made this one. |
Simple Bag/Purse
 |
| Simple bag I made. It's reversible if I want to turn it inside out, but I like the denim for the exterior. |
Cotton Knit Market Bag
 |
| I knit this bag with cotton yarn. I had some misc. yarn and I was starting to run short of the blue yarn, so I switched to the pink in the middle of the bag. I saved some blue to finish the striped area above the pink, but then ran out of the blue completely and this time I used the pale yellow for the rest of handles. That should have been blue too. Oh well, it still will be very useful and I used up some of my yarn too. |
 |
| I put some plastic bags inside to take this photo so it would show what it looks like when full. |
