Having a little fun.

I know this isn't scrapbooking or card making, but it is crafting. lol  I love all kinds of craft projects and when someone asks me if I can make something, I love to try.

So last month I was asked to make 3 Princess Leia crochet hats and 1 unicorn hat.  Well I did and here are the results.

I made 2 brown and 1 black Princess Leia hats.

I didn't follow any specific unicorn, some make them look like My Little Pony characters.

 Miss Hailey saw the unicorn hat and asked me to make her one like Twilight, a My Little Pony.  So here are the results of that creation.  

I make the ties longer on this one and she loves it.  She wore it to school and got lots of compliments. 

Then a friend tagged me in a Facebook post about some frog slippers and so I had to try those too.  

These slippers are supposed to fit a 6-12 month old, but I think they are a little bigger.  

I need to barrow someone's little foot to see for sure. lol

I was just having so much fun.  I am taking orders if you see something you like, send me an email and I will get you a quote.  jwilson@bctonline.com  I will need a couple weeks notice due to other activities on my schedule.  

I'm not sure I can make these without a purchased pattern, but they sure are cute. 

Happy Crafting,

Janice

I didn't think quick enough to get a pic before Laurie and Jean left.

My granddaughters, Mary and Hailey helped hand out przes and gathered the silent auction bids. We had several members of our Auxiliary making and serving food.  Pizza for lunch and a Baked Potato bar for dinner.   

Last year we raised $431.00 for our Veterans, Military members and their families.  And filled a 35 gallon barrell with personal hygiene products. You could help up raise even more this year.

I look forward to seeing all your smiling faces in September.
