My husband's grandmother made this quilt for us when we got married. It was begging for a matching pillow. Thanks to some math help from my foster dad, I was able to figure out a crochet pattern. And before you go thinking that I am one of those people who can sew or crochet without a pattern, I'm not. I just got really lucky this time!
This item may seem silly, but every time I see this basket, it makes me smile inside. I got the idea from a catalog, which had this saying displayed right on the material in the basket. I thought it would be even better if it looked like it was circled and ripped out of a want ad.
I love to hide unsightly useful objects whenever I can. This pot of flowers (which is a bouquet of pens) and paper-covered phone book makes me feel like my counter top is uncluttered. (When it actually IS uncluttered, which is hardly ever, but I'm working on that!)

Love all of this post but especially the quilt and matching pillow. You are very talented and the quilt is such a wonderful gift!
You are so crafty! I'm jealous!! :D
I love that 'sock seeking sole mate' basket! How perfect for a mother of 3. How DO socks disappear? I've never understood that!
Regardless as to what you think, you have a lot of craftiness in you...for which I am jealous!
The lost sock phenomenon is a puzzle to me. Sometimes the socks show up in another load, under or in a bed, behind the hampers...& sometimes they never come back at all!
