Just letting everyone know what I 've been up to.
Well I have been making all kinds of things for the Christmas craft show next month. I hope I do well. Lets see I have made 10 crocheted dolls that have little binkies that are removable in their mouths,they look like they are in a sleeper so they just have their 2 arms and a crocheted sleeperon to it,I made them for white and black children.I have crocheted cars and pickup trucks,crocheted baseballs in different colors,cookie cottages made from a bigger coffee can that the cottage slips over and the roof is crocheted and sew onto the lid,I put 3-D pine trees on the cottage with windows and a door and even steps.I have 4 of these,doll trinket boxes made from a gallon Clorox jugs,I have 4 of these,reversable pillowghans in the local school colors and reversible hats to match,I just finished some thred angels that looks like they have their arms up and open so I decided to use the same pattern with the crocheted cotton that comes on the cone ,yup they came out beautiful,I now have 4 bigger ones which I put little cross charms on a thread for a necklace,I have 5 so far of the thread ones.They also have halos,The bigger ones can be used as tree toppers. and what is really nice is they stand up all by themselves with no starching,even the thread ones. .I made 12 of the crocheted angel pins and glued hears and pretty stones to the chest of them.so pretty. I have teddy bears with outfits on,and I just love making toys for kids,Hubby says I bet if they don't sell you will probley just give them away. Which is exactly what I intend to do. After all it is Christmas,and some parents in our small town don't have that much money for storeboght gifts..I'm sending some of the thread angels to my friends in Pa. in Christmas cards all they have to do is fluff out the dress and they will stand up.I really loved this pattern.
I don't know what I would have done without my crocheting after moving here in Jan. from my home state in the mountains of Pa.But i'm slowly making friends here,I'm making progress,LOL I already have several orders for my crochet names I made in thread and starch.I just wish I could afford more yarn,rightnow but soon I will find a job and I will be able to get my stash back,LOLWell I have other things I have crocheted but I figure this letter is long enough,LOL Hugs Peggy8650.in Missouri.

Peggy, we would love to see pictures of all these items. I love how some people can invent toys and make sets of toys out of nothing. Good luck on your sale.
