Happy Valentine’s Day

~ Pamela Klingensmith

Here are some sweet gifts from my sweet DH who happens to be out of town on this sweet day.  Whatta guy!  I Love you DH.  The cute little stuffed dog brings to mind a said Basset who lives with us.  Same coloring and the heart horns are quite befitting.

Crochet Moss Rose



This crochet pattern is from ammee’s idea book #4, Crochet Candy – Embellishments & More.  I love the patterns in this book.  This is what the flower looked like when I finished crocheting it.  Most of the flower patterns in this book are shown with a button in the center, so. . .



I added the black button from my stash.  I sewed it on using the same yarn (Manos cotton stria, color #205) and a size 16 tapestry needle.  I will add this to a baby shower gift that I will be making shortly.  Here it is with the fabric I intend to use for that gift.  More on that later.



Is that not just too cute?!

Sewing is my passion and I always have a notion to sew, but sometimes I get distracted with other crafty endeavors. I share my creative accomplishments (and sometimes failures) here on my blog. I am a licensed Martha Pullen beginning sewing instructor and serger instructor. For 5 years, I taught new owners how to use their Bernina sewing machines at my local Bernina dealer, and for 2 years I taught serger project classes at my local Baby Lock dealer. These days, my professional time is spent retailing handmade purse and bag making supplies and patterns. I also sell a small selection of fabric as well as my handmade bags and purses.
