Before I go

So before I head out on my trip tomorrow (the secret one that my sister is still clueless about) I thought I would post some pics of a few things I have been working on....

I got the idea for a crayon purse here and edited it a little for one of my nieces... I am still trying to figure out what to do for hair or just say it is finished as is... i think it needs more though....

And then with  crayon teeth (holds 12-16 crayons) ...

I made it into a crayon clutch by adding a tail to wrap around and close by button...

I made a little necklace with a crochet heart pendant for my other niece (who turns three tomorrow)...

The pics are still blurry because i still have no batteries for the camera... but if you can't tell the heart is a little crooked and not quite the same as the pattern, but it will do :)

I also tried a crochet finish for a fleece blanket for my sister (her birthday is friday)... it didn't turn out quite as i would expect but good enough. I didn't take a pic before i packed it and unpacking is too much of a hassle but here is the piece before I started the crochet edging...

Speaking of crochet... hubby has also learned to crochet. He has started his first project which he decided will be a blanket. I think that is a pretty big first project but he is pretty determined (as of now) so I hope he can follow through without frustration and such.

Let's see, what else...

I started a silhouette project but not sure what to do with it...

I still have more projects started that i have yet to get back to like a hat for Rock, a soccer ball chair/stuffed animal storage, another jester outfit for hubby and probably one for Rock, too. So stay tuned to see if I can actually finish them :)

But the precious possession of a man is diligence.
