A2Z Take 2: Craft Pretties

I had a more elaborate idea for my "C" post but didn't end up having time since I'm still focusing on my novel revisions, so I decided to just post some pictures of some of the crafts I've done. I used to do a lot more crafting, but now I'm spending more of my time writing and my increased pain makes some things hard. But I did a lot of embroidery this fall.

Here are a couple greeting cards I designed and made:




I used to be constantly crocheting, mostly baby blankets.

This one was really fuzzy and extra-soft!

And here are some drink coasters I made for holiday gifts this last year. I did the embroidery and then sewed felt on the backs.

Your work is beautiful Amy. I loved your crochet work, but I especially love your greeting card with the horse. It had such a free spirit.

Those are all wonderful expressions of heart and talent!
I have more craft "fails" than successes, but I keep on keeping on... Someday I might share some of them!
