Sally Cat

This hat is a Richard Scary character named Sally who is a orange and white cat with a red bow. I made her for a five-year-old girl named Jaida.  Those are red flowers I added at the ties.

New Crochet Cable Beanies!!

I always knew it was possible to make cables in crochet and not just knit, but I never took the time to learn until just now.  Thanks to a great pattern spot: http://www.rheatheylia.com/index.php?page=patterns

Sparkly Hearts Rasta Baby

Made with sparkly thread from Guatemala.  Also available in adult sizes too!

Rasta Sparkly Bow Hat

These are sparkly threads that I used in the bow; they are from when I learned weaving with the traditional back-strap loom in Guatemala, 2003.  The threads are wrapped on spools made from bamboo.  Nice.

New Bag

Here is my new bag made from the same pattern as my huge hat bag.  It holds so much.  And now I have made this one with a padded strap.  I re-inforced the old one with a padded strap too.  Those are quilted hearts on the strap. (below)
