Felted Flowers
Did ya ever just love a candle??? I love this one it's Eucalyptus .
My husband is not fond of it but I am.
I have a Jack Russell Terrier mix that is my baby. But he is getting old 16 or 17. I rescued him back in 1994. The vet said then that he was probable 3 or 4 years old. I think he will be going to doggy heaven soon.
He does not jump around like he used to. Boy those dogs can jump. My husband mentioned that Tiny will not last much longer. As soon as the words came out of his mouth I started to cry. What a Wimp I am. We have no kids so we spoil our animals. We both thought about getting him stuffed when he dies. BUT that is really creepy.....
Crocheted flowers that I did in wool yarn. Then I felted them.
Who knows What I am going to do with them????? But I thought they were pretty. I have not done many flowers before and I thought I would try these.

Acorn Squash Crockpot & Can Cozy
Yummy. We (my husband & I ) eat a lot of crockpot food. You can make anything in it. I found this cool sitehttp://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ 
I changed the recipe a little because I did not have some of the stuff.
The recipe calls for :
1 pound turkey or chicken ( I used very lean Stew meat)
yellow onion ( I used 2)
3 chopped garlic cloves ( I used 6) Wow My husband lovesss Garlic
1 can of Kindey beans rinsed and drained
1 sweet potato, pealed and chopped ( I did not have 1)
3 red potatoes( I used 5 cause I did not have a sweet potato
1 acorn squash, peeled and chopped ( heat in microwave 8 min. then let cool, verrry hot)
4 cups broth ( I used beef and veggie)
1 can tomatos plus some hot peppers
cloves( I did not have any)
all spice ( 0 in my cupboard)
salt and pepper
I always boil my meat or brown it first then put in crockpot.
peel and chop the veggies
peel and chop the acorn squash
pour everything in crockpot
cook on high 4 hrs than I turned it down to low for 2 or 3 hours.
Yum
My husband and I loved it. I am taking bites in between typing this (HA HA)

Cool Purse
This purse took me 1 day to make except the lining. One of my favorite colors . I seem to have a passion right now for purses. I found this one at http://thecrochetdude.biz .It took me a few times to figure the shape out but I finally figured it out. This is a crochet purse by the way.
I had a hard time finding yarn for this one because,Well, I Huh, Am not verry organized with my yarn stash. Some of it is in bags. Some in plastic containers. My husband gets upset of course. Oh well. I love to dig through it all. The textures and colors. One of these days!!!

To keep the dander down. http://foothillsofthegreatsmokymountains.blogspot.com/ This is the pattern site.I thought this was a pretty design. Easy to make. It is crocheted.
I made this on Monday then I gave it to my mother-in-law. She likes handmade dishcloths too.

Small Purley Puffs Hat
This is one of the things I am making for Christmas gifts this year. A HUGE THANKS goes to Cat at http://Cats-Rockin-Crochet.blogspot.com
She has a wealth of knowledge on all crochet. I love her HATS. For this pattern look under Rheatheylia.com I made these last week for my husbands second cousin. She saw the yarn and loved the color so I thought she would love a hat and scarf.
My slipper wanted to make a apperance.
The pattern is very easy to follow. I never did a puff stitch before and I thought it was fun.
Cute Puppies!!!!
