January Bday gift in process

I'm working on completing an crocheted throw for my MIL's birthday.  This is a new stitch to me, but super duper simple!  I got the pattern free at www.premieryarns.com.  It's called "Textured Stripes Afghan", designed by Drew Emborsky.  You basically make 4 squares and then whipstitch them together.  This is my first square.  I started this in December and haven't really been working on it, so I need to get my butt in gear!

I LOVE Valentines

How about you?  My inspiration for these two cards came from an Archiver's ad I received online.  Can you say shabby, distressed, romantic, FUN!

Do you see the shimmer?  LOVE IT!

FINALLY!

For the most part I haven't been posting for the past few months because I was so busy creating Christmas presents.  Well, now that the gifts are distributed, I can finally share with you;D

So, here is my first "share". 

My youngest niece, Jordyn, turned 3 on Dec. 26th.  I made her this baby doll rag quilt and bought the doll to go with.  My youngest daughter, Michelle (turning 20 next week), still has and adores a baby doll just like this.  You wouldn't believe how worn out "Lefty" is, but you can imagine why she is named Lefty;D
