Thank-you all so much for your kind words on my birthday, they mean a lot to me. You are all so sweet. I had a perfect, fun, ultra cool birthday. (Plus cool present’s ;) My mom said I could show you some project’s I have made. I made a scrap fabric bag. The handle is a belt my sister gave me and all I did is sew the pieces of fabric onto a square of heavy denim fabric. Then sewed the two pieces together and turn them inside out. The pillow is from a T-shirt I loved but did not fit me any more, I cut a square 3 inch's bigger than I wanted the pillow to be. Then I cut fringe, tied it together and stuff it. I also knitted chain mail wrist cuff. I just used metallic yarn, cast on 25 stiches and knit 6 inch’s. [I had to knit 7 inches to fit my hand]. Sew the short edges together. Thank-you again for the birthday wish's and sweet words. Auberne’
I also had to show you these Pirates of the Caribbean bookmarks Aubern'e made. What I love about them is the skill beads she made them. I thought it was quite brilliant.

I love, love, love those bookmarks and so would my nephew. He is a huge pirate fan. Maybe he and I need to do this next time he visits. He doesn't like to act crafty but he really is. :)
Cheers! LA

Wow Auberne', you are so creative! I especially like your scrap fabric bag and the bookmarks. I recently saw the 2nd Pirate's movie and enjoyed it...but not as much as the first one.
That's a great idea for using old t-shirts with logos on them.
