Another Apple Cozy

The great thing about this blog and sharing it with friends is that they see some of my projects and say "hey....I want one of those". And that's just what's happened. A friend saw my previous apple cozy and said "I would love to have 5 of those". Cool. She wants to give them to her son to give them to his teachers. I never know how to price my projects, but I think I'm fair...$2.00 each. I found a better pattern that I like and is more flexible to the apple. I added a stem and leaf to the pattern and I really think it looks adorable.

Iris cards

I found a couple more pictures of Iris Folding cards that I've created. I love making and giving these cards. They look so complicated, but they're really pretty easy....just a little time consuming.

A special card for special friends

I wanted to create a special card for two of my friends. Here is the result...an iris folded coffee cup. I'm actually pretty proud of how great these look.

Weekend projects

After finishing my last afgan project I was looking for a small and quick project. I actually found two that I'd been wanting to try...so I did them both. The first one is silly, but it's an apple cozie. Thought it might be cute to make a cozie for my apples at lunch...to keep them from getting bruised in my lunchbox. Apples don't really need a cozie, but this was a fun little project. I used cotten yarn and if I had to do it over, I'd make it a bit taller and not narrow it so much at the top. The apple was hard to fit into the cozie.



The second project was a pair of fingerless gloves. I like them and they were very easy to accomplish, but they were a bit too loose at the hands. If I make these again (maybe next winter)I'll do the wrist with the same size hook as called for in the pattern, but change to a hook 3 sizes smaller for the hand.
