WELCOME TO THE GRANNY'S CRAFT ATTIC BLOG!!!

Well I finally got high tech and started a blog...I hope you will find it interesting, funny or at the very least, something to read while you are on hold on the phone. Mostly you will find ramblings about my crafting, my Etsy.com shop, my family or just about anything that comes to mind.

The Last Day of August

I can't believe today is the last day of August, 2010. Where is this year going???

I have been tooling around with making crocheted Christmas Ornaments to sell in my Etsy shop....lots of ripping out. I am, however, so proud of myself because I actually created my own pattern for a mini Christmas stocking to hang on the tree:




The red one has a shorter cuff than the green one, and I think I like the larger cuff better.


I would love to have you leave comments on my creation!

LIGHTBULB HOTPADS/POT HOLDERS

The making of these Christmas Lightbulb Hotpads/Pot Holders started with my good friend Cindy....I showed her the picture of them and she wanted 3 sets. She calls me her 'personal crocheter', she's my best customer, a wonderful friend and WE HAVE NEVER MET IN PERSON!! That's all going to change in October.
I digress.....here is a picture of the finished set:


I have decided to add these Christmas Lightbulb Hotpads/Pot Holders to my Etsy shop.
They can be made in other colors but the only colors with the metalic running through the yarn are red, green and white.
They work up really fast, so if you would like a set, please visit my Etsy shop: http://grannyscraftattic.etsy.com
And thank you !!!
