Green Gloves for Lynn #41 and #42 Boxes with Buttons

Showing the re-do of the Gift Journal

Two days in a row. I know, I am impressed too. Thought I would show what I ended up doing for Marissa's journal.

She had to finish a paper for school so I have to wait to give it to her later. The suspense over whether she will like it is killing me.

Putting together a Little Gift Junk Journal

I'm a dork but I'm a generous dork.

The Start of my Next Collection? (Pressure to Find More)

I've always been a collector. Rocks, bugs, tins, bells, kaleidoscopes, books, knitting needles, yarn, beads, fabrics, it goes on and on. I have calmed down quite a bit but still have the urge.

Laura gave me this purse recently. It matches my jewelry treasure chest. I feel a new collection coming on!

The Fruits of Our Labors

Love seeing my hats in action!

100 Days of Doilies Day 62

Yep another feather and fern/cluster stitch doily. This one was for Emmy when she had my first ever grand-baby, Miss Jaelynn. It sits under a plant and it looks lovely there.

100 Days of Doilies Day 61

I spent the weekend with my oldest son and his awesome family. I forgot I had given his wife some of my doilies. Yay! This is a very old pattern, one that I made waaaaaayyyyyyyyy back in the 80's. I still have the original page. I'll make another one soon.

100 Days of Doilies Day 56 + WINNER!

This one I know I made. I got the pattern from a magazine at the Paxton Library back in the 90's. This doily lives on Darla's front room side table. Pardon the blurry picture. You know that doesn't happen very often with me!

The winner of the crochet motifs is.......... Marie! (However if I don't hear from Marie I will pick another name)

100 Days of Doilies Day 27

An oldie but goodie. My sister just gave this one back to me. I made it back in the 80s right after I learned to crochet. The colors hurt my eyes now lol.

Giving and Getting 181/365

Mary Beth messaged me on facebook with news of a yard sale score she wanted to gift me with. Ok who am I to say no to such enthusiasm lol!?! She arrived a little later with a box within a box...

Goodies upon goodies were inside the boxes...

I gave her the beaded purse I never quite finished. It needs a handle...her problem now lol.

The deer were in my side yard when she left. maybe she'll send me the pics she took.

TO Liked It! 137/365

We knew he would.

TO's Turkey Stick 136/365

TO (Tee Ohhh) is the GC (General Contractor) up at the big elephant enclosure build at the zoo. He like to turley hunt. Jack wanted to make him a stick in appreciation for all the overtime TO paid for on this job. TO donated the turkey feathers and beard. I did the bead cuff. Jack sewed the bag and fancied up the beard.

 I realize I don't have a pic of whole stick yet again but I am sure Jack will get one when he gives it to TO.

More Than One Way to Skin a Cat 133/365

Stick update. It wasn't just a treasury that got us noticed, we were actually FEATURED in an Etsy Finds email! We got like 800 hits on our custom made walking sticks in 24 hours. Whoa!

Dale is a GENIUS!!! 79/365

Dale has begged for a skully hat for quite some time. Her turn finally came up and she asked for one with gray,black and white to match a shawl she made.....hmmmmmmmmm...I only use two colors. How will this work?

Turns out it worked very very well! I now declare Dale...the GENIUS of RANKIN!

Beefy in the Music Hat 63/365

Orange Hat for a Four Hundred Pound Midget 50/365

Yes, yes four_hundred_pound_midget wanted an orange hat...I'm sending along a scarf for Mrs Midget...

Vickie's Socks 38/365

My friend, Vickie, has never had hand knit socks. (Can you say hand knit sock virgin?)

Now she can't say that anymore. I even adjusted the size after she tried the first one on.

I used this pattern for BASIC SOCKS

Sue's Scarf n Stuff Long Time Coming 28/365

Sue actually added to my stash last year with the gift of some yummy chenille yarn she rescued from the trash somewhere north of Chicago. It took me a long time to knit this scarf/wrap in a feather and fan pattern. It has pockets as requested. I also tucked in a hat for her BF Robbie and some beaded jewelry from my stash of things I already had made for her daughters. I wish the pictures could convey how elegant this really is.

I got news that the red black scarf made it to Canada and is duly coveted by LLs daughters, the Music Hat made it to Virginia  Beach, The Hello Kitty hat is in New Jersey and they are waiting on more snow in South Carolina to take pics of themselves in the white skully hats.
