Here is a picture of the triange prayer shalw knitted with all of the remainder yarn from
my aunts stash that my sister and I rescued on our last visit. We sent home boxes and boxes of yarn and fabric and it is all slowly but surely making its way into finished projects. I know that all of the recipients of the prayer shawls appreciate the gift and all the work that goes into them.






I finished the blue bracelet last nite and I just
the look of it. I will admit that beading through multiple layers was tricky at times and I did need to use my pliers (a lot) to get the needle through. Great finished look though. Now to make a special gift box for it to reside in.

My helper Sailor decided to help me get ready for the next beaded bracelet by trying out the bead drawer. I had taken out all of the boxes of various beads to get the next great bracelet planned. He is a cuddle bunny lately, wanting to snuggle on the bed or chair. It's cold outside but I think he justs like to watch the crafts. He loves to lay on a plastic project bag and paw at the items inside.

Here is the next bracelet in it's infancy. The light blue 11's will be the inner netting. The matte triangle and dark, shiny green 15's for the diagonals and then for a final touch of elegance either the glass gold or matte gold beads down the spines. I had a lot of fun picking out the color combinations. I do tend to pick out monochromatic color combos. With a pattern I like after the first one it's much easier to let go and let the colors fly.

The house is slowly, slowly getting cleaned as I work on getting all of the craft projects, current and future all organized for later on tonite. A crafter and her toys are never parted or even very far apart.
