Home Decor

Springs seems to have arrived so we thought we would work on some home decor projects. 

Here's a sample of what we have been working on.


This pom pom afghan is a really fun way to jazz up a chair.
This was made with super bulky yarn and has lots of texture.


Speaking of texture - here's a bauble lapghan.
A customer asked us to make this lapghan for her mother for Mother's Day. 
It turned out absolutely beautiful.


This afghan was made using size 50 needles and super chunky yarn. 
Looks great with the couch since it has a little blue in the cushions.


Now on to some fun decorating the mantel for the warmer weather.


Here are some canning jars dressed up in cable cozies.


Here are two pictures of the hugely popular succulents in crochet plant baskets.


Nothing cheers me up more than decorating. 
I hope we have inspired you to have some fun decorating your own home for spring and summer.

Stuffed Creatures

So far this winter, Knitting by Pam and Donna have been very busy making all kinds of stuffed creatures for special requests.


This flamingo was made for a neighbor and friend. She is giving it to her niece's child since he apparently likes flamingos. Let's be honest what isn't there to like about flamingos!


A lot of people have been asking for sloths recently. The little sloth was shared on my Facebook page. Since it is a crochet pattern, Donna has been working on perfecting this pattern. The bigger sloth is a knitted pattern that worked up very fast and is cute as can be.

The next three pictures are items made by special request for the Flying Squirrel, a vintage toy store in Carnegie, PA 





The next two pictures are Instagram posts from the Flying Squirrel Instagram page.



Apparently the owls are being saved for a special event the Flying Squirrel will be having in February.

These project have been a pleasure to work on during these cold and dark days of winter. 
These little creatures do make you smile while working on them. 
I do hope they make others smile as well.
