Cuffs, cuffs, cuffs, yeah three of them

I finally got to make some stuff again. I was just busting to make something with some of the yarn, that I got at the thrift store on the weekend. First I had to clean up  the scraps and odds and ends from the things I had made over the last month. Because, as we all know (those of us who craft), that in the midst of making stuff, we tend to throw stuff any and everywhere. Then after the smoke clears, we look up and get frustrated because our workspace is a wreck. That was me, I couldn't make anything else, until I had cleaned up my act, so to speak. So, first I made new storage containers out of boxes. I took a huge box that a winter coat came in attached a  pull string to one end and put my yarn in a smaller box inside of the huge coat box. The box was so large that I was able to also store the remnants pieces from my blue jean purses, my pre-cut pieces for my reversible purses, my silk brocade scraps, patterns and larger fabric scraps. I was so happy to have one place to store these things. I mean I just turn around and reach down and bam, all my stuff is within arms reach. Here's a picture of my beloved new storage box, one of five I might add:

 Well enough about that clean up act. I crocheted these three yarn cuffs yesterday. They came out so nice and I was so happy. So these pictures are of the finished cuffs. I added buttons for closures. The brown.gold colored one I made the buttons as a closure on the front of the cuff. This is phase one and two. Adding beads and other items will be the last phase.

These cuffs are so cute and soft. They fit so nice too. I just have to add the bead and other items and they will be too cute.This is how they look on the wrists. Beautful.

I didn't take a picture of my wearing the last cuff, I forgot. I thnik they look so nice. I know the younger girls will love them. I just have to decorate them. This is what I'm going to on the brown/gold colored on. The items are just laying on them now. I'll be sewing them on tomorrow. I have to find a few more items to put on the the pink/burgandy cuff.

 I just had to share the lastest things that I made. I'll show pictures of the finished cuffs later. I think I'll made a few more of these. I'm gonna even make a couple of them for myself to wear. These if do it right, this ribbon yarn would make nice fingerless gloves too. I took these photos with my camera, that I got at a free thrift event. I mean, I got this Sony Cybr-shot camera, 5 memory cards and the case for free. People were walking all around ths camera case and nobody acted like they wanted it or saw it. I knew it was for me.

Well, have a great creative day tomorrow.
