Bombed out

Well last year I bombed out in the year long challenge. Now I am going to post all my patterns I have designed and links to items I have made from now on. So I am adding my slipper pattern in the next post.

52 Week Challenge

I am taking the 52 week blog challenge. Once a week in the next week I will post what I am making and how I am doing. So look out 2015 here comes Esther! Here are some of my recent projects.

I wanted to post some pics of things I have done lately and I not only have a Facebook store (Ruth's Designs) but you can find these items on Etsy in Ruth and Cindy's Designs and have listed them on E bay as well.

I have opened an shopify store and would love for you to stop by and see what we have and don't forget to like our page. Our store can be found at:   http://ruths-designs.myshopify.com/ Thanks so much.

Haven't written in over a year cause I had a heart attack and stent placement and then a couple of months later was in the hospital again for another stent placement. Now I am struggling to get Christmas presents for the family done. I will be posting patterns and showing you items I have made and posting a link to where to get those patterns. Pinterest has been a God send for me cause it gives me ideas for what to make and if there isn't a pattern I design one. I hope all who reads this will have a Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

Here are pics of some of my recent projects.  There is a ruffled purse of black and pink and a pink dishcloth of an angel. Presently I am working on a dog sweater for my little Bell who is a chichuahua and since the weather is getting cooler she is shaking. This sweater is done in a cross stitch and I have never worked with this stitch before but it is easy and I am really liking it. I am surprised in the 40 years of my crocheting that I haven't come across this stitch before. The purses pattern is called Bella ruffled bag3 and the dishcloth pattern I got from Mary's Knitting Corner Yahoo group. Once I get Bell in her sweater I will post a pic.
