All for me...

It's rare I make something for myself.

I think the last time I made something
copper for Izzy was probably a year or more ago.
So after digging through my scrap bin and finding some usable
but not sell worthy portions of copper,
I decided it's about time I give myself a few gifts.
I started with these key chains.
We call our suv "Muddy" and our truck "Guppy".
Cute, eh?
Unfortunately in my alphabet soup of stamps
I seem to have lost my "U",
so I had to improvise a bit.
It works for us.
This past Christmas my Mom-in-law
refreshed my memory on knitting.
I hadn't picked up needle and yarn
for over 20 some years.
Please don't bother asking me for a
pattern for this cute neck cowl.
I started with one, got bored,
threw the pattern in the trash and started over.
I have no idea what I did to accomplish this
but it turned out really cute.
The original pattern (that ended up in the trash)
called for a button and button hole.
After listening to my Mom-in-law
give me instructions for a button hole,
well....
I decided to go another route.
And I did.
I made this adorable turtle shell scarf pin.
I have yet to show it off
as old man winter has abandoned us
winter lovers here in NC.
Hopefully Phil didn't actually take a few nips
before his prediction
and we will actually see at least
six more weeks of some cold stuff.
Lastly, my wonderful husband,
who cooks quite frequently,
asked me to make tags for our oil bottles.
We use about three or four different types
and sometimes,
especially when they are all in similar bottles,
it's difficult to tell them apart.
So I made the first tag today.
What have you made lately that is
all for you?
