Shades of turquoise


Here are 3 washcloth/dishcloth's I just finished using the cro-hook method.

Finished Camoflauge mats

I feel good about getting these mats finished and also adding the crocheted items. Now just to finish the bags and I can post those too. Today is nice sunny day, not very warm for August though, Only in the low 70's. We are supposed to be going back into the 60's again for next week with even some temps in the 50's over the weekend! What a cruddy summer. Better toughen up. winter will soon be here! I am ready to go traveling, trucking, by car , anything! My husband still has to work until the first week of Dec. then we can have the winter free.

Fall colors


Here is the Fall dishcloth/washcloth

Fall colors


Hand towels 13 1/2 by 10 1/2

Fall colors

Before we know it the leaves will be turning. Here is my version of minnesota's fall colors.
My hand towel is 13 1/2 by 101/2 inches the washcloth or dishcloth is 8 by 8
All cotton, keep their size when washing and drying. Notice the difference on sides. These are done with a cro-hook. I use two different yarns at once.

2 more mats



Here I have made 2 camolauge mats. I think they would make nice boat seats, or any sportsman would like them in his truck, cabin or chair. Could also be used as a large hot pad. Different lighting made one apear lighter.

Frustrated!



Well here I have the perfect day to take pictures of my crafts and I still can't seem to do justice to items. I am learning to take with and without a flash, using different lighting, and props. I guess practice makes perfect, I hope so!
Here are a few pictures of what I soon will be selling on Etsy
I have made 1 mat in this pattern and 2 with solid green middle.
