Craftier Than Thou

Once upon a time, I had a blog. It went to visit its grandmother one day, carrying a basket of cookies. I haven't seen it since.

Here's what I've been up to in the past, say, three months.
Hand-knitted socks for Regis. He loves them.

My charming brother and sister-in-law. Please admire the bustle. We had a blast making it. I'm tempted to make another for myself for everyday wear.

The wreath craze has clearly hit me hard. But admit it: they're darling.

This last is not finished. It will eventually be a coat hanger for the girls, with posts where the birds' feet would be. But I'm awfully proud of those fat little birds.

There's more, of course. But I don't want to make you feel TOO inadequate.

Just . . . Wow. I love the little birds. Did you use oil paints?

Nope. I ventured into acrylics. I'll have to send you the close-ups. :)

Boo hoo! I want a bustle, too! And yes, the fat little birds look charming. I like all the different kinds, and I'm excited to see them with their coat-hanger feet.
