<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just completed another cell phone wristlet, by request, this time in blue, my favorite blue. I used Tahki Cotton Classic and a size G hook. Once again, this pattern is by </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/misty-makes" target="_blank">Misty Makes</a> and is available as a free download via <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/loopy-phone-wristlet" target="_blank">Ravelry</a>. You can make it up super quick (at least if you're not stripping wallpaper, removing a cabinet and painting all at the same time), and you can easily adjust it to fit any cell phone by adding stitches to your beginning chain, just make sure you do it in multiples of two. I had the dimensional daisy in my box of ready-to-go flowers. It was crocheted with a sparkly white crochet thread and I stuffed the yellow center to make it really stand out. I simply used six strands of DMC embroidery floss to make the leaves. The free leaf pattern is from <a href="http://www.nexttonicx.com/blog/crochet-cherry-pattern/" target="_blank">nexttonicx</a>. I am going to have to look for the daisy pattern and write about how that was made in a separate post. Now I am on to a third wristlet, pink. The girls really like these. I am happy to oblige.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I crocheted this really big Betsy Ross style flag. I started on June 1st and made my deadline July 1st. I finished right on time. It measures 80" from left to right and 44" from top to bottom. It is made up entirely of double crochet, Red Heart Super Saver and an H hook. The free pattern for the stars came from <a href="http://www.mooglyblog.com/glittery-crochet-stars-in-2-rounds/" target="_blank">Moogly Blog</a>. The most difficult part of the entire project was getting the stars sewn in place. I used a large plate as my circle template. I wouldn't be surprised if Betsy used a plate to make her circle too. I am going to hang it outside. Happy 4th of July to you all. Hope you have a blast! <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">:</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">)</span></b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In yesterday's post, I wrote about Frannie promoting from 8th grade. It was a special occasion which required a pretty dress. Rules were for no spaghetti straps, strapless or backless dresses, and no prom gowns or bridesmaid dress attire. Basically, keep your shoulders covered and don't dress inappropriately, after all, this was a serious ceremony and not a fashion show. We found a nice dress, although shoulders would be visible, but not too much. Frannie asked me to make something pretty to put those shoulders at bay.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I made this cardigan one other time (posted about <a href="http://cutestuffinside.blogspot.com/search?q=pile" target="_blank">here</a>) and we thought it would be just the right thing, this time in sparkly pink (difficult color for me to photograph, but it did match the flowers in the dress just right). I used <a href="http://www.lionbrand.com/yarns/vannasglamour.html" target="_blank">Vanna's Glamour Yarn</a> in Deep Magenta and the pattern Cardigan "P</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">étales" by Marjoline Petit. It is available as a free <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cardigan-petales-adult" target="_blank">Ravelry</a> download in both French and English. I used a simple, vintage rhinestone button as a closure. It goes without saying that it looked very pretty on Frannie - and I'm not just saying that because I'm her mother. <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">:</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">)</span></b></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Frannie was recently promoted from eighth grade - that means she is officially a high school student! She did so well this past year that we felt a nice gift was in order. I crocheted her a wristlet to carry it around in. It goes without saying that everything is pink. Frannie's is made with Lily Sugar 'n Cream, Strawberry Ombre. One skein is more than enough. You can make one too. The pattern by Misty Makes is available as a free download via <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/loopy-phone-wristlet" target="_blank">Ravelry</a> or and you can find the link on my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/cutestuffinside/cozies/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> board (right side bar) filed under "Cozies". The flower was my idea. <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">;</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">)</span></b></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just finished this pillow. It's been staring me in the face every day. All that was left to do was to stitch down the yellow flower and two leaves. That's it! Today was the day! It's a simple single crochet stitch, round and round, done in spiral fashion. A back, front and crocheted together with a shell border. I didn't even have a round pillow form, but I did have a square one. So I tucked in the corners and stitched them down. It worked perfectly. The pillow is crocheted from Lily's Sugar 'n Cream, variegated, Aloe Vera. It is one of those cotton yarns that has an <strike>odor</strike>, <strike>smell</strike>, scent - I don't like that. I don't go into a store and say, "let me smell your yarn". Do people do that? So why the need for scent? But I liked the color, and that was that. It reminds me of summer, cottage living.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As for the dumpster diving, it wasn't actually a dive, more of a reach my arm in and pull out that sweet, vintage, pale pink chenille full-sized bedspread. I don't know how old it is, but probably a good 50-60 years. When Aunt Grace's house was being emptied last summer, her two sons thought it was garbage and threw it in the dumpster. I saw it peeking out later that evening and went over to give it a good look. Well, there were only a couple of small stains on it. I snatched that thing lickety split and made a b-line up my sidewalk. It was going home for a nice, warm bubble bath. After coming out of the dryer, all soft and snuggly, the stains had magically disappeared! I felt a little guilty about swiping it and made a confession. They told me that if I found anything else I wanted to help myself. I might have found a few more things.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday, Frannie was re-organizing her American Girl doll collection wardrobe. She called me in to show me how well it turned out. I noticed a stack of aprons. I had forgotten how many I made. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pattern for these aprons was Simplicity #2761, which is now out of print but still available <a href="http://www.simplicity.com/c-165-out-of-print.aspx?pagesize=99999999" target="_blank">here</a>. </span>I can't decide which is my favorite - maybe the one that matches Frannie's apron (I still have it tucked away). The very last photo is from a blog post dated September 2008 - almost 7 years ago! This apron was made from a Daisy Kingdom pattern for Simplicity </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">#7856</span>, also out of print. It was available as a separate pattern in adult sizes too, of which I have made several (Simplicity #5201). This particular pattern was great for using up leftover quilt binding. Reminiscing over it makes me want to make it again. I think I'll put that on the list.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of Frannie's teachers has a little girl, about a year old. Frannie
met her on Family Day at school. Frannie thought she was adorable and
asked if I might make a little something for her. After seeing <a href="http://www.thimbleanna.com/in-like-a-lion/" target="_blank">Thimbleanna's</a> bib post, I have been wanting to make some too. With a great deal of inspiration from <span class="st">Amy Sinibaldi of </span><cite class="_Rm"><a href="http://nanacompany.typepad.com/" target="_blank">nanacompany</a>, </cite>this is my interpretation of what a little girl should be wearing while enjoying a summer ice cream cone. I don't own Amy's book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sweetly-Stitched-Handmades-Projects-Loved/dp/6055647664" target="_blank"><i>Sweetly Stitched Handmades</i></a>, so I had to wing it by drawing out a pattern and putting it together without instruction. I have had the fabrics for quite some time (you may have seen them here or there on this blog). The bindings were left over from some previous quilting projects. I put two layers of fabric together with a layer of cotton batting in between then quilted with a simple 1" grid pattern. The two bibs have been completely hand-stitched and everything came out of my stash. The pink cherries fabric is on the reverse of the cupcake print. The cherries are crocheted with cotton thread. You can find the cherries pattern <a href="http://www.nexttonicx.com/blog/crochet-cherry-pattern/" target="_blank">here</a> (originally found on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/cutestuffinside/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> from <a href="http://www.nexttonicx.com/blog/crochet-cherry-pattern/" target="_blank">nexttonicx</a>).</span></div>

I don't know how old the basket is, but it appears to have been around the block a few times. I paid $2.50. Of course, I didn't take any before photos because I was too excited with my new found treasure and wanted to get started with the revamp right away. You can take my word for it that it was in desperate need of some TLC.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Another one for Frannie. The blue and pink are Cascade Cherub Aran. The white is Caron Simply Soft. This one is Frannie's favorite, although I would have bet money that she would have picked the pink one. She said it is because this one looks "Frozen" inspired.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is the first South Bay Shawlette I made and it belongs to me, although someone keeps asking me if they can wear it. I used Red Heart Boutique "Unforgettable". I get a lot of compliments on this one. People especially like the colorway and softness of the yarn. It drapes beautifully.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Up next is your basic granny poncho. Again, for Frannie. This has gotten a lot of wear, I think mainly because it is soft and cozy and feels comforting on those chilly days. This poncho was made with Red Heart "Love" in fuschia. I don't know exactly how many pom-poms I crocheted around the border, but there are a lot. I used this pom-pom <a href="http://onceuponapinkmoon.blogspot.com/2013/09/pom-pom-edge.html" target="_blank">pattern</a> from <a href="http://onceuponapinkmoon.blogspot.com/2013/09/pom-pom-edge.html" target="_blank">Once Upon A Pink Moon</a>. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last up is a shrug made with Tahki Cotton Classic. Free <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cardigan-petales-adult" target="_blank">pattern</a> on Ravelry<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cardigan-petales-adult" target="_blank"></a>, but I did have to modify the size. I made this specifically because when the weather turns warmer and Frannie starts wearing sundresses to school, spaghetti straps are not allowed to show. So, the dress has to be covered up over the shoulders. I thought this would be cuter than your standard t-shirt.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then I wrapped some 100+ year old lace trim around the side. This lace was from one of the garments in the trousseau of Aunt Grace's mother. (I have spoken of Aunt Grace before. She was my husband's aunt through marriage and we had lived next door to her for 35 years. We loved to have tea and talk about needlework together). This lace came from Italy, probably about 1910. It was given to me several years ago and I thought it would be nice to use instead of keeping it rolled up in a drawer. I did not cut into the lace (a very long piece), just wrapped it around and around and secured it with a sequin pin.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When Frannie is finished using this as an Easter basket, I am going to call it mine, and use it to hold my knitting/crochet works in progress. The top part reminds me of a cake, but in reality it can be used as a pincushion, the largest one I think I have ever seen.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Up first is <a href="http://www.americangirl.com/" target="_blank">American Girl</a> #3. Her name is Lauren Kelly and she is Frannie's very first American Girl doll. She is a "Just Like You" doll (no longer available) and was purchased back in 2007. She looks pretty good for her age. She is modeling a crocheted poncho (which I posted about <a href="http://www.cutestuffinside.blogspot.com/2015/02/snippets-of-year-gone-by.html" target="_blank">here</a>) over a variegated blue dress. This yarn was chosen because it matches Lauren's eyes. </span></span></div>

She is an original American Girl doll who was introduced in 1986. Samantha is Frannie's second doll and was purchased in 2008. American Girl retired Samantha in December 2008, but due to popular demand was re-released in August 2014 as part of the "BeForever" collection. Who wouldn't love Samantha? Here she is wearing a pale pink dress and coordinating shawl.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A little play on words there. This crocheted shoulder wrap is actually called "<a href="https://tinyowlknits.wordpress.com/forget-me-not/" target="_blank">Forget-Me-Not</a>" and it is another pattern from <a href="https://tinyowlknits.wordpress.com/forget-me-not/" target="_blank">Tiny Owl Knits</a>. I made this as an addition to Frannie's Halloween costume - Elsa from Frozen. I used Loops & Threads "Snuggly Wuggly" yarn. I do not recommend this yarn. Can you say <b>P-I-L-L</b>?!! It is economical, which makes it suitable for craft projects, but I do not suggest using it for anything you seriously want to wear. Heck, it pills while you are working with it.</span></span></div>

I can hear <a href="http://debbieblissonline.com/yarns/angel/" target="_blank">Debbie Bliss "Angel"</a> in pale pink calling my name. The ruffles were a dream to crochet. The only modifications I made to this pattern were that I made it longer (more rows of ruffles) and instead of a tie closure, I made a loop and added some bling, after all, it was Halloween.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">South Bay Shawlette is a <a href="https://www.lionbrand.com/" target="_blank">Lion Brand</a> pattern. I made this one in leftover sock yarn (category 1) and a very small crochet hook. I stopped crocheting when the shawl wrapped around the doll properly and added my own picot border.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let's see if I can get back in the saddle again. To start with, I am posting the following videos purely for my own enjoyment. Last night was the All City Strings Concert, 4th year Frannie has been selected to play. Frannie is sitting next to the young man with the short Mohawk. She is the one with the light brown hair and excellent bravado (couldn't get a good view of her face). Remember, these students are about 13 years old, and, in terms of recording, I haven't a clue what I'm doing.</span></span></div>
