| I made giraffe print flannel pajamas for my grandson. Here he is modeling them. |
 |
| I made him flannel train print pajama bottoms too. Here he is opening the present. He was a boy-on-the-move with so many presents to open on Christmas, so I couldn't get a good photo of him when he put the pj bottoms on later. This was the best photo of him. |
 |
| I made this armchair sewing caddy for my sister. I wrapped it in a pink & green paisley print totebag I made. I posted the photo of the totebag earlier this year in this posting: http://patchouli-moon-studio.blogspot.com/2011/07/beach-bags.html |
 |
| She sent me this beautiful skein of Alpaca variegated yarn. Oh so soft! I am going to knit a scarf with this yarn. |
 |
| I knit these purple socks for my friend Susan for Christmas. No matter how I photographed it the royal purple color of these just didn't come out in a photograph. They look more blue, but they are really a beautiful shade of purple. These are an acrylic/nylon sock yarn. |
 |
| I also knit these socks for Susan too. They are a variegated self-striping yarn in blue and green. It's a wool/bamboo/nylon blend sock yarn. |
 |
| Oh and look what Susan mailed to me! Now I can knit some socks for myself with this great-looking sock yarn in those yummy Kaffe Fassett colors. Wow so many colors in one yarn, I can't wait to see how they knit up. The green ribbony-type yarn I had never seen before. If you pull the green yarn out width wize it looks like those fishnet stockings I remember wearing years and years ago. Lots of possibliites for using this yarn. I wonder how it will knit up? Can't wait to try it. Thanks Susan! |

| Last month was my birthday and my friend Bobbie made this pincushion for me. Isn't it great? It's mounted onto a champagne glass that's upside down. I suppose I could pour champagne in it and drink from it, only I couldn't set the glass down :0) |

| This is the other side of the cover above. |
 |
| This is a cover for my serger and I also made a serger litter bag to match. The tool organizer I made before ever deciding to make the covers, so the binding on that is a yellow and orange stripe. This lady looks a lot like my own mother! Even my daughter said it looked like Grandma. |

| This is the other side of the serger cover. |
 |
| This is the cover for my computerized sewing machine. |
 |
| This is the other side of the cover above. |

| Close-up of the lady on the above cover. |
 |
| I added embellishments such as French knots, beads, buttons and silk-like flowers. |
 |
| I made 3 zippered make-up style bags from fabric that I had quilted. I had quilted a long strip to originally use for the side of one of the sewing machine covers that I made, but I had calculated the measurement a few inches too short. Never fear I can put that quilted fabric to good use and hence enough fabric to create 3 bags. |
