my first pc bookmark

I finished my first plastic canvas bookmark ever!!! It was fun...and didn't come out to badly if I do say so. My sister in law, Margo, sent me a pattern book last week. She said she saw it and thought of me because I'm having so much fun doing the magnets. I know, I need to expand. LOL Anyway, I picked one of the easier looking ones for my first bookmark. I hope to do a more involved one soon. Guess I'm not brave enough right now. Next up is a wreath ornament for an exchange, then a few more magnets...and another bookmark. WEEEEEEE what fun! It doesn't take much for me these days!

Pete the cat

My son Frazier had to come up with a stuffed animal cat for school. After alot of thinking, several different ideas, this is what he chose to do. With this little hand crank knitting machine, he made this tube (the body) and stuffed it. Then made 4 little feet balls, and I sewed them to the "body". He glued wiggle eyes on, and some felt to make the face, and two ears out of felt too. I sewed on the ears. For a tail, together (yes my son did some crocheting) we chained a tail, and slip stitched up the side to give it a little shape, and attached it to the "butt" of the cat. He got this really tiny cat collar and put a bell on it, then put that around Pete's neck. WA LA Pete was born. Aint he cute?!?

Easter magnet exchange

Yesterday I received a magnet from Cathy W. for the Easter magnet exchange. Check this out. Didn't Cathy do a great job! THANK YOU for a great magnet...

This one gets me all caught up on birthday club magnets. Now it will be working on a bookmark (my first one), and some extra magnets for miscellaneous exchanges. I also want to get busy on this blanket I'm knitting for Frazier. Come back soon for some updates on that one. It's been a loooong time project for some reason. LOL

more pc magnets

I've really been enjoying pc magnets the last month. Matter of fact I haven't done a dishcloth in weeks. I'm trying to catch up on magnets in this birthday club I signed up for. Hopefully soon I will be caught up. I think there is only one bday in May, so I should be able to get a couple cloths done soon. Anyway, I tried a little bit more difficult pattern (at least it is to me). I wanted to share a few pictures of my recent magnets. Here they are...
