Hmmm Those vases look a little chilly

I love this tutorial. It is such a wonderful way to recycle sweaters. However, I do not wear sweaters (love that Central Coast weather). So, off to the goodwill I went and found several intricate sweaters and several vases that needed covering. Got home, plugged in the hot glue gun and went to town.
These are from 3 sweaters with plenty left over.



Even prettier with candles.

The candles did not do much for the dark colored ones. Flowers may work better.

I have been busy Tatting!

I have been busy tatting. Here are few pieces that I have made.

These first two are from the tutorial by Totusmel for her Tatted Pendant.

The tread is size 10 lizbeth.

The next is inspired by the Petal Perfect created by Krystle Dawne. The tread is DMC cotton pearl size 5 (It may be embroidery floss). I just kind of winged it with out a pattern.

And the last is one I came up with to go with the medallion I found at the craft store. The thread is the same DMC size 5.

I am very anxious to get started on my Halloween Crafts, however, I have committed to completing all my WIP's before starting anything new. I am currently working on a Starling Purse by Craft Girl. Also a Windmill Purse-I found a Knit pattern for it and am coming up with a crocheted version. Hopefully I will complete them by the end of the week. I also am involved in Sock a long through Ravelry. I have started and scrapped it about 3 times now. I really need to get going on that.
