Crochet Coasters

My sister, Julie, turned the big 40 this year.  (It's not that old, Julie!) 
These coasters were part of my gift for her.  I didn't design them, but I made them into three colored coasters, as opposed to the two shown in the pattern.  Julie loves the color blue, so most of what I make her has navy, light blue, and white in it.  I like the colors as well, because they remind me of the ocean... My favorite place! 







This is how I sent them to her.  I just love that little ribbon.  Julie enjoyed them, as I had hoped. :) 
In fact, my mom liked them so well, she requested her own set.  I'm so glad I have people to make things for, who love and enjoy them! Thanks, ladies! :)

Crochet Scarf


This is a scarf that I designed and made for my friend, Jenny.  She has a bright, sweet and fun personality, so I wanted the color scheme to sort of reflect the California beach.

I have never done tasseled ends before, and I think they turned out really nice and fun!  I also threaded grey yarn through the entire design, to add a simple, yet effective design element.    





This is how I gave it to her.  It was supposed to be a birthday gift, which was in December, but I only finished it in Mid March.  Jenny didn't seem to mind, thankfully, and the colors of the scarf lend itself nicely to cold Spring days. :)

Crochet Christmas Star Ornaments

This is a set of crochet star ornaments that I made for my sister Julie's family.  A different color for all of them. :)




I made these two for the physical therapists that have been helping me with my back troubles.  I wanted to show some gratitude for their help through a difficult time.  I'm glad I did, because they loved them. :)
