I entered a county fair for the first time and won a first place for the baby owl hat (see the picture in a previous post. My Christmas chocolate ornament came in second in another category. The chocolates came out nicely, but the heart that I covered with crushed velvet wasn't right. I'll remember for next year. I'll post directions for making one of the chocolates next. I've been designing them for the last 10 years and always find something new to add to the list of chocolates. These were originally for use for my chocolate pincushion idea (as seen on Carol Duvall). Now I use them for whatever crazy idea comes to mind.
My granddaughter had her tonsils taken out a few weeks ago. I promised her some ice cream, so I bought her a gift card for Coldstone. It needed a "holder." I've been wanting to crochet watermelon purses for a while, so I looked around to see what other people were doing and combined the features that I liked. There are some good patterns out there. I had to figure out how to make the opening at the flat part of the slice, so I went through several versions. My granddaughter loves her little purse, just the right size to put whatever miniature toy she is collecting this summer.
