I made a calendar for my sister for Christmas... (it's still not done, but she's in Mexico for a few more days so I am not too worried about it)

The pictures are all of family, and I included everyones birthdays and holidays right on the pages.

SHOUT OUT! - the Craftgrrl who posted her handmade 'Magic Bags' -- thank you greatly! That idea helped me when I was in need of a few more presents for family members! (They were such a last minute thing that I didn't get pictures of them made :S )

Anyway, I think I'm finally coming out of the Christmas Haze that has enveloped me and my crafting...so, here are a few new items of mine....

( Take a peek at a LOT more larger images... )

Hello all! I joined this community about a week ago and I LOVE LOVE LOVE everyone's crafts!

I finished a GIR plushie last night and unfortunately I forgot my camera cables at home, so I guess I'll have to post pictures tomorrow.

But I have a question. My hands get incredibly cold here at work and I wanted to make some bum gloves/hand warmers out of basic fabric. I'm not so good at the crocheting. My question is what is the best type of fabric to look for? The ones I bought at the store are a stretchy polyester...

Thanks so much!

My husband has suggested that I crochet him a plush mudtire (don't ask). So in attempting this, I need to be able to create a flat circle with a hole in it. I tried doing a round of increasing every other stitch, followed by every two stitches, followed by every three stitches and it's definitely not flat.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a method of increasing that would help me make this flat?

( This is what I have now )
