Howling at the Moon

Do you recognize this? You are inspired, make one thing after another, but everything you make doesn’t turn out as you hoped it would turn out? I made three things this week, but only one looks like I wanted it to look: I crocheted a butterfly to use as an application on a long sleeve for my daughter. I found this pattern at Le Blog de Anna , a blog I found recently, and which is full of the most beautiful (FREE!) crochet patterns. This is just one of many butterfly patterns. www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ Beautiful orange flowers: I love gladiolus. Little stems, lots of flowers, full vase...

WANTED Love the green jacket!

A couple of weeks ago I showed you a half finished Sugar Skull that I embroidered. After some weeks of stitching, stitching and stitching again it’s now finally finished! Here’s the result. I found this great black frame to go with the skull. It matches perfectly! I know, pride is one of the seven sins, but secretly I’m a little proud of my Sugar Skull .  For the pattern, see this book: Twisted Stitches by Phil Davison http://betweennapsontheporch.net

Travel Bag by Besame WANTED Very cute Travel Bag!

Again I had a baby shower last week and since I’m still bored by making play mats , I made a cute, little grey and pink elephant this time. www.betweennapsontheporch.net
