Crafting for Jesus

I finished this little farmer mouse on Saturday. I'm getting quite good at making mice now in anticipation of the medieval and star trek mice to come. I didn't like her bonnet being sewn in place so ripped, knitted and ripped again until the hat band had ear openings in the correct position and size for her. Very cute and a nice mouse with good character.

Thursday I had a consultation with the christian ed director at my church. She needed prayer flags and thought I would have a rotary cutter and mat to accomplish this task. I volunteered my time and after cleaning the house after church on Sunday I went at it. This morning I finished the total of 75 prayer flags. They have rolled hems on three sides and a casing at the top for the rope hanger to go through. Lots of work but the kids on good friday will have a lot of fun decorating them. I wanted them nice because they intend to leave them up in the church vestry for a while.

This is for my mom. I made one for her a few years back but when she went on a missionary trip to chile she brought it as an example and then ended up giving it away as a present. She always liked it so I bought enough fabric last week to do it again. I finished it this morning and it came out quite lovely. A nice addition to her table cover collection. She'll get it for mother's day.
