Chemo Caps

Hello Friends!

Yes, I'm still around.  Thank you, Lord!  I'm still battling for my health, so there are days when I'm drained and crafting takes too much effort & energy from me.  However, at times I need to keep my hands occupied.  Therefore, I've been doing some knitting and crocheting.  I'm definitely NOT an expert in this area, so I mainly repeat the same design. :)  And I can only knit using a loom. ;)

While I've been off of work and concentrating on my health, I decided to knit caps for children battling cancer.  This is a cause that's near and dear to me.  I knitted 30+ beanies in baby to teen sizes.  Some of the beanies were made using 2 different colors of yarn.  Here is a sample:

(I apologize for the wrinkled background and bad pictures.  Overcast today.)

(Materials: Simply Caron yarn in various colors; round knitting looms, loom hook)


The following chemo caps were crocheted using Simply Caron yarn, and a J hook.  These are adult sizes, and I used a pattern by Sandra Huffines.  I have a friend battling cancer, so I made her some caps, too.

Friends, this is all for today.  Wising you LOTS of health and peace.

Happy Crafting,

Baby Bibs

Hello Friends!

Thank you for your kind words on my last post.  I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Well, today I am popping in to share some baby cards.  Since we are having a baby shower for one of my sisters soon, I thought I would create a quick & simple card.  But since I had my supplies out, I made 2. :)  

I used a baby bib die with faux stitching and pattern paper from my scraps.  I added some safety pin stamps, sequins, and "stitching" with a gel pen around the border and called it done.  See?  Quick & simple. :D

(Supplies: cardstock; pattern paper; die-cutting machine; bib die- My Favorite Things; stamps- Fiskars; sequins; gel pen)

I will be adding these cards to the following challenge:
My Time to Craft: faux or real stitching

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Crafting,
