Memory Set

Just finished this memory set. It's hard to photograph the color pink, and even adjusting the color on picasa it still is not the right shade. The pink yarn used, is a softer shade of pink then what is shown in the picture.
In the near future this sweater and hat will be on it's way to one of the local hospital's. It is so sad that so many memory sets are needed. Knowing, that parents are suffering one of the most difficult times of their lives, in grieving the lost of their child, makes these memory sets so hard to work on. This sweater and hat will be added to a box with other special memories of their special baby girl.

Jewelry

Just added some jewelry to my etsy site.  The bracelet and earring sets turned out so cute.
I had so much fun making them and  will see if they sell.  Take a look in
www.NormasTreasures.etsy.com if you have a moment.

Off to do some knitting on a pair of slippers and while working on them will decide what colors to use for a baby sweater.  Something patriotic since July is coming?

Cross Stitch

Started a cross stitch yesterday which is a smaller one that I can take along with me when I need to wait in the car.  I do have a larger one on the go and hope to continue working on that one also.  This smaller one is a gift.  One way of getting the holiday gift buying and making underway.  Less expensive this way.
For charity, I just finished up a sweet little pink sweater for memory boxes and hope to give it to a friend this weekend.
On the needles I have a pair of lady slippers and hope to add them to my etsy shop when they are completed.
The are being done in a beautiful variegated yarn in purples and greens. 
Winter craft sales and maybe an open house here at home is in the future dv and I need enough items to sell so I need to keep on crafting.
Yesterday I went to a book sale with a friend and my daughter.  Wonderfully craft books to browse through and get some more ideas for my craft classes.  Maybe later tonight I may find the time to start the browse.
