What have I been up too?

Well, joining many groups on Ravelry, adding designers to my list of friends, fun way to get cute ideas when I see what patterns they have favored, and joining a bunch of fun groups.

I want to learn to design my own creations, so I figure the more I surround myself with creative people the more I will learn!

March is a busy month fo rme with swaps. I had a potholder swap, a barbie swap and a bookmark swap as well as a threads swap.

Made up a barbie dress using the same stitch I used on my skirt for her skirt. Made an umbrella using a paradise pattern, and a hat using another pattern. Will find it and let you know what it is. I received some fun fur last month in my Barbie swap from Tammi so I incorporated it into the dress, hat and umbrella. Cute!

For the potholder swap I made a scrubbie, and a dishtowel as well as a potholder. I hope she likes them! I used bernat white with the green and red (from xmas yarns) spots scattered here and there. I like it so much that I am going to make some for me too!

For the bookmark swap I made a mile-a-minute bookmark and then a self-designed daisy bookmark. Just need to find a cute kitty to include in her gift!

Cant wait to show you the pictures of all of it! Will have to send off the potholder swap quickly because I forgot I was supposed to mail it off by the 15th and if she doesnt receive it by the end of the month well I have to sit out any swaps next month. :-(

Catch on the next post!
