As promised, here is the 2011 attempt at 52 snowflake patterns to be used this winter as tracts.  Please consider making one of these and attaching to a tract that lets the person know just how unique an special God thinks they are.

Some pics of recent projects

Finally getting around to taking pictures of some recently completed projects and thought I would share with you.  Below each picture is a link to the pattern I used in case you want to give it a go.

The Magic Loop, One piece Barbie dress

The Lyon Hat

Baby Tree of Life Throw
You will need to log in to the Lion Brand website to see this pattern, but once you create a free account you get access to TONS of free patterns for both knit and crochet

Tangled headband
I did not work mine as a tied headband as the pattern calls for. Rather, when it got to the correct length for my head I joined the beginning row with the end row as I bound off

Butterfly Hat
I only worked 3 rounds of the butterfly pattern before beginning the decreases and it fit H perfectly!

Seed Bead ring

Do you like the last two?  The snowflakes?  I am planning to revisit the Snowflake Saturday posts and the above are two of my original snowflake patterns.  I hope for them to be available this week so keep an eye out for them!


Until next time,

NeoCube

I know I am so far behind on postings, and I am sorry.  I do have two snowflake patterns coming and another in the works so don't give up on me yet.  I am currently trying to finish up a baby blanket for a friend from church and beginning a wardrobe of Barbie clothes for both of the girls.

Can't believe that Wednesday will be my 14 year anniversary with Mr. Sunflowers at Home.  Been trying to figure out what to get my hubby who never wants anything, and what he does want is OUTRAGEOUS expensive.  Then I came across a NeoCube.  Ever heard of one?  Me neither.  Check this out:


This is so right down his alley.  He LOVES magnets and loves to play with them.  Anyway, thought I would share with you guys.  I am picking up an extra set for both H and J and putting them up for Christmas gifts.  (Yes, I am that type of person that starts buying gifts in January!)  Interested in getting some?  We found ours at Neocube by extramagnet.com 


Until next time,
