Skirts

Alex's last project before she got her Young Womens Medallion..
She made skirts for all the girls in the family and we all wore them the day she got her medallion. Good Job Alex!!!!

A cute headband

I found this cute headband and just had to make one....
But only one, my hands hurt from cutting and sewing all the leaves. But I like the way it turned out and I wear it all the time.

Bead watches

This is my first attempt at the cute bead watches that are in style right now...
A black and silver band ...
and this one (though for some reason the picture doesn't look that way) is pearls and silver.

Not as chunky as the ones you see around but just right for the person it was made for.

Hats and flowers

The past few days I have been suffering from a bad tooth. I finally had it pulled but that is another kind of pain as well. Needless to say I haven't been able to follow my normal routine. Thus I had to figure out something to keep myself entertained and keep my mind off all the house work I should be doing. Here's what I've been doing (along with a few chick flicks and naps he he he). Hats and flowers... This is Madison Modeling the first hat I made along with the first of this style of flower The hat was a bit smaller than I had hoped so for the next one I added a few rounds to the top.
and as you can see Bailee is modeling what turned out to be a floppy style hat. Not exactly what I was aiming for but I really like it....and so do my girls. I'll have to make more of these.
This green one is my favorite! I love how cute it turned out...but I stitched it with a different type of yarn and it is way too small for my girls. I think next time I'll add one extra round at the top and maybe get a happy medium of the too small and the floppy hat.
This is the new flowers I have been making. Way cute and WAY easy. I think it is the simplest I've done yet. The single layer (below) is quite small but I like the dainty look of it. The double layer (above) Is a better size for older teens or adults and a fun twist with the gem as a center.
As you can see I have been able to keep myself entertained while I recover from a bad tooth.
