Very first homemade apple pie (crust too!)

This has been put off way too long. I have always been so afraid of trying to bake a pie from scratch. We've been working hard on changing what we eat and how it's prepared.
Today, I baked my very first homemade apple pie crust and all. We haven't sampled it yet, but it sure looks pretty!
It wasn't nearly as hard as I had convinced myself it was. This fantastic website,"My Home Cooking" helped me step-by-step from beginning to baking.

Round Ripple Baby Blanket

This Round Ripple Baby Afghan was created using Red Heart Super Saver worsted weight yarn in Turqua, Yellow and White. Finished size is 36" across.

It was fun and fairly fast to work up. So many color ideas. I'd love to do one queen size in turquoise, white and tan for our bed.

This blanket is available at ArtFire. Custom color requests are always welcome.

Pattern is a free pattern available here. Permission to sell finished items from this pattern must be requested.

Purple and White Hand knit baby sweater complete

Put the finishing touches on this cute sweater. I love the slip stitch pattern. Pattern is from Leisure Arts Precious Layettes to Knit, pattern #4 "Dapper". Definitely not as hard as it may look. I used Caron Simply Soft acrylic yarn in purple and white. The drape of this yarn is fantastic. This pattern has been used to create 2 layettes (one in lavender and white, and one in mint green and white) for a dental assistant as gifts.
The sweater is now listed on ArtFire.

Hand knitted scarf project

There has always been a fear of knitting scarves! I had this idea of knitting the same row over and over and over again was going to be too boring for me to hold my interest. Seeking a challenge I chose a lacy leaf pattern. Was it ever a challenge!!! With two boys at home 24/7, there isn't much quiet time and I am not a multi-tasker, though I have tried to teach myself to do more than one thing at a time.
I am really happy how this scarf turned out! It's about 6.5 inches wide and 64 inches long in Red Heart Dark Sage. I devoted 4 hours a day and completed it in 4 days. Today, l would like to start a doily project. After getting some doll clothes finished up, photographed and listed. I would like to offer the doll clothes in a set, 3 outfits in one package... imagine the fun of receiving 3 in 1.
