Butterfly Loopy Lovey for Baby

Oct 12, 2008

Remembering my mom, whom I lost to cancer almost 20 years ago; she left us at age 56, and left my 2 year old son without a grandma, me motherless. I made this little lovey, or Hug n Tug blanket...

Doily Delight Tote, so far, I am very delighted with it, I use it every day!

Sep 25, 2008

Made this tote to carry everything I need on a daily basis. Used a vintage doily, scraps of aqua vinyl for pockets, faux leather tooling for sides, interfaced the whole thing with fleece.

Re: Thanksgiving Place Cards and Fall Tags

Hi again Lolly! Love your blog and freebie patterns! Are you a generous person by nature, or is there a way to make money giving out free stuff? Just curious, keep up the great work!

Re: CraftStylish Roundtable: Crafting in the Current Economy

I think crafting in crisis gives you a sense of control over an end product, when not much else seems to be controllable, the economy, politics, loss of job and self. I have retreated into my sewing room as a balm for the ragged spirit and mind, after having lost 2 jobs in 4 months. And I tell myself, I can create for me or for the marketplace, and no one can take my creation away. There is something calming and soothing about making something; I am sure the economy is creating more crafters every day, as we seek solace in the simple act of creation.

Re: Fabric-Covered Buttons from the Flower Power Challenge

love the flowers! Do you need to stiffen the felt at all? What kind do you use, recycled stuff or wool?
Thanks for your response, do you also have a blog?
Mine is http://the4rsRamblings.blogspot.com
