LACE WRAP, ETC.

For those of you who may have thought that Momma Cat's been idle as of late, you couldn't be farther from the truth!  

In addition to working five days a week, albeit part-time, at JoAnn's, Momma has been very busy keeping her gardens growing.






See the little dragon fly sculpture I got from an art sale?!!  Isn't it great?!


Making this lovely crochet wrap, with lace-weight yarn.
This shawl is narrow, long, and very lightweight

This shawl was made of baby alpaca, and silk hand dyed and spun yarn.  It's so nice to work with!

Making all these baby gifts to send to our niece in Pennsylvania!

Crocheted bear, changing pads, blankets, and burp cloths, all hand made

A cute door sign, Peter Rabbit book, and decorative box





Can you believe all that fit in one box?!

All this, plus one blanket and four more burp cloths fit in one box!


Now she's working on another crochet project.  This one is a DK weight lace shawl.

This shawl is made using Bamboo Pop yarn.  A favorite of Momma Cat's!

What Momma Cat doesn't seem to have much time for is blogging!  I'm sorry that I've been out of it, but I plan to keep on plugging away, one day at a time! That is, as soon as I get back from vacation!!!

    1. Jennifer,

      I miss you too! Sorry I had to miss the doll show this time, but Hawaii was amazing!

  4. Your garden looks beautiful, and so does all your work! I especially love your lace shawl. I think I saw it when you were first getting it started and I'm amazed by how even more gorgeous it is now that it's done!

    1. Assunta,

      I had to rip that shawl apart several times before I finally got it right! I really love it too, and I am looking forward to trying another pattern one of these days.

      My garden is growing bigger and bigger every year! It gives me so much pleasure to look at that I don't think I'll ever stop planting new things. Pretty soon my yard will look like Pam's yard!
