More pictures by Daniel. Isn't he talented and only a 6th grader! This young man has a bright future!

This lovely photo was taken by one of my 6th grade boys! We have a lovely pond on campus that is visited by geese and cranes. It's a peaceful spot where you can fish or just watch the birds. Daniel captured it perfectly!

Bailey's Dress

Bailey's Dress

Bailey loved her best friend's dress so she sent me a picture and asked, "Can you make a duplicate for me?" After weeks of collaboration, the lacey little confection nears completion and Bailey will have her wish. Now her friend can borrow the crochet version!

I've been busy getting reading for Fall, my favorite season (closely followed by Spring). It seems I've had a creative streak so I've begun crocheting OOAK hat/scarf sets. One of my favorites sold almost immediately! Yipee!

Multi-functional scarves are a must for me, so I make them extra long so they can be wrapped around the head like a turban, placed under a hat and wrapped around the neck several times; you get the idea...

This one has gone to live at Harvard University (photo above)

"Plum Puddin" is still available. Check it out in my shop at http://www.uniquelyewe.etsy.com/

Reborn Baby Dolls by Amethyst

This beautiful sculpt, called
Aubrey Lynn , was reborn by
artist, Amy Nelson. Little Aubrey
has become the latest addition in
my nursery of models for my
infant's items in my shop on etsy.

Isn't she gorgeous!

You can contact her for your own
custom order at :

www.amethystlaboroflove.etsy.com. or search for her listings on ebay under AmethystDawn.

Amy spends weeks creating each one-of-a-kind creation as each step in the process is done by hand, from painting layer upon layer to achieve a life-like complexion, to rooting individual hairs, 1 to 2 at a time.

How To: Circumference of crochet hats

Have you ever wanted to make a crochet hat without a pattern, but didn't know when to stop increasing? Here's a helpful formula I learned from someone at CGOA (Crochet Guild of America).

First, measure around the person's head. Let's say their head measures 22" around.

Next, divide the circumference by 3.14.

Example: 22 / 3.14 = 7

That means that when your circle reaches 7", stop increasing and work even until you reach the desired depth.

Happy crocheting! :->

Bunnies, Bears & Babies!
One thing that I enjoy most is
crocheting baby blankets. Two of my most favorite are the bunny and bear blankies shown here.










My models are
Amber and Kennedy, two "reborn" dolls
I purchased on the Bay!
