I created this web site to share my love of crafts with others.  This love affair started with my mother.  She made teddybears and all kinds of stuffed animals and sold them at Christmas time.  She still does.  I didn't get the sewing gene but my father's sister taught me to crochet at a young age and that was my first outlet as a crafter.  For the past ten years my mom, my sister and I make craft items that are sold at the three elementary schools closest to my home.

Barbie dress   I have made for the Christmas bizzare at my childrens grade school for some years.  I made this on a 16 needle hand crank tube knitter.  I bought this item for my daughter many years ago.  It came with instructions for a barbie sweater, a skirt and a dress.  Which was the same except for the length and the armholes which consisted of pushing the arms between the stitches.  But being the crafter I am I changed that.

CD Suncatchers   This Suncatcher is made from old cd's and plastic jewels.  They will send beautiful rainbows through out the room that has this hanging in the window.  My mother has many of these hung around her gardens to keep the deer away.

 Juice Bag Purse     This Purse is made from juice bags.  It's a grest way to recycle and make a fun fasion statment.

Crystal's Afghan  Crystal's afghan is quick and easy, made with a large hook in panels and then sewn together.  If you have a weekend you can make this beautiful afghan
