 Been working today on filling some orders for our hand crocheted Lacey baby booties...  These are on sell in our ETSY SHOP little tiny pearl beads on the bottom edge and around the top loops...

Been working on some funky socks.  I hand crochet them and they are thick and warm.  Good way to use up small pieces of yarn and still make a few items.  I try to crochet every time I set down to relax or watch TV.  It keeps my hands busy but also I get a lot of things done.  Hubby always gives me a bad time that I can't just sit and do nothing.  But crocheting relaxes me.  The little flowers are on both socks just on the outside of each sock.  I love this pattern for how the toes and heels are made.

We have been working on our Patriotic Tote/Bag/Purse line.  This is now in our ETSY shop and ready to be purchased.  Totally handmade with double crocheting, machine wash and lay flat to dry.  Measures 5 inches x 13 inches on the bottom and is 13 inches high.  Real nice item to take to the beach, fireworks, camping or etc.  Love the bright red, white and blue colors.  The items are just to show how it looks with things in it. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy our site...

 Decided to make a afghan/throw/blanket for Valentines Day.  I chose the criss cross stitch and was off....for Valentines I chose the white, rose petal, and shocking pink rose.  This was a fairly easy one for me and I enjoyed just watching TV and working it up.  Funny, when I was done I told hubby everyone of these stitches I put into this.  It measures about 50"x60" and as everyone knows crocheting stretches. We always recommend washing on cold and laying flat to dry.  We have found that the dryer causes the yarn to get fuzzies...so laying flat to air dry the yarn stays the same.  Will be pretty in any room.  Now, on sell in our Etsy shop...at www.etsy.com/shop/rustycupboard....
