Today I want to show some quicker projects I have made. These items only took a few hours to make and made me feel happy.
This little crocheted angel was made for a friend, who was going through chemo therapy. I wanted her to remember that I was thinking and praying for her. You can find tons of crocheted angel patterns by running a web search. I was astounded by how many are out there. Here is the website where I found this pattern, it is a free download.

I had some left over washable wool and wanted a sleeve for my water bottle. This one works out well, and holds the moisture when the bottle sweats. Most sleeves are just that, a sleeve, this one is more like a sock, for it has a bottom to it. This is knitted.
I love this Christmas stocking. Several years ago, a friend gave to me a half yard of this lovely fabric. I just knew it had to be used for something "special". One Christmas, I entered a swap where we were to make a sock and then stuff it full of small gifts. This is the twin to the sock I sent.
This fabric has glitz on it in silver. I padded the sock with batting, quilted it with a decorative stitch on my sewing machine, using a thread with a sheen. The lace around the cuff is what I had left over from a robe that I made for myself. I lined the sock with some white, medium weight, drapery lining fabric, to help keep the sock shape.
I hope that you enjoy today's post. Till next time.................
