Creative Workings

So I've been trying new craft things this summer. My summer of craft. I start my residency at Gwinnett Medical in the ICU, Aug 10th. I am really excited - but until then it's study for NCLEX and craft! Here are a few thing I made up this last week.

These little clay mushroom charms I made for my friend Jean to use in her hemp necklaces. I also made plant stakes in the same colors for my terrariums.

I love this Votive Candle Holder. I made some hanging ones too which I will photograph this week. This lime green votive cozy is stiffened so it stands on its own and doesn't sag. I found the glass at a thrift store. Glass stands 4inches tall & 2.5 inches wide. Listed in etsy shop.

Purple & Green Scrappy Afghan

Lately I've been a bit bored of crochet projects that take me no time at all. So I decided to make my first granny square scrappy afghan. Using coordinating yarn from my stash (I have A LOT of yarn) with some supplemental purchased skeins thrown in. I wanted it to fit our king size bed so it turned out to be 11 X 11, 4 inch squares.

I think it turned out nice for my first attempt at traditional crocheting.

The begining. Everyone has yarn & skateboard wheels on their coffee table, right?

Oscar approves the first layout.

Completed!
