My Voodoo Doll

This is my voodoo doll I received from Dani,from the voodoo doll swap.Isn't he cute,he has a gold heart, to keep my heart healthy,a shell on the tummy, to never have to have bladder problems again, and a tag on him that says Faith,guess we all know what that means.His white face glows in the dark,how cool is that!
I have named him Shifty.S-for the shell,H-for the heart,I-for instantly loving him,F-for faith,T-for the tinkle of his bells and Y-for the yarn he is made with.My little Shifty now stands on the mantle for all to see.
Thanks Dani for a great voodoo doll,you did a great job.I love him!

FAVORITE THINGS SWAP

In this swap we were to send our partner some of our favorite things.I had alot fun finding things I liked to send.Here is what I received from Nicole,a lot of the things she sent are also some of my favorite things,so I think we really were paired off nicely.I think the most fun thing will be learning to spin,she sent me a spindle and some alpaca,so I could spin it myself,now how cool is that.She also sent the softest yarn not sure what I will make with it yet. The teas are almost all gone already,so yummy! I will have to use the soft touch hook soon,it seems to be so comfortable to use.I love the feel of it.Thank You Nicole for everything,I love it all.

Lavender Delight

I have completed another pair of socks.These are called, Lavender Delight from the pattern book, Stocking Feet from Annie's Attic.

 I really like the way the color came out, on these.I think I need to work on other UFO's, before I make more socks.lol

 I have a doily to complete for a gift, and a shawl to complete for a swap.So for now, socks will have to wait.I think I have enough, in case the weather turns frigid.Yeah like that'll happen here, in South Louisiana.lol

 Here is a picture.

SILLY STRINGS VOODOO DOLL SWAP

In a Ravelry group I am in called Silly Strings,I was in a swap,that we had to make a voodoo doll.OK I have never been in a swap like this, nor have I ever made a voodoo doll.So off I went to the internet, to see what I could come up with.lol Our partner had to give us information, about what they wanted to change, in their lives.My partner Dani,had few problems she wanted to see if we could get rid of,she suffers from insomnia, neck and lower back pain.She also told me her favorite color is green.Well I went with these, and tried to come up with something, to help her.Our dolls had to be at least 50% crocheted.We were allowed to insert things inside the doll,and embellish them as we wanted,well I went to work and this is what I came up with.                          

 

This is a 2 sided voodoo doll ,on one side is the red eyed insomniac and in pain person.On the other is the rested ,free of pain, happy side.

Inside of the doll, is a packet of lavender,squeeze the belly, and she has the relaxing aroma of lavender.Hopefully, this will help to get to sleep.On the neck is a black tipped pin, and also on the lower back,to help relieve the pain,the black pins represent freedom from pain.Her favorite color is what I dressed her in ,because the color green  represents well being.

I even had a little more fun and named her voodoo doll---Bippins--Sorry, only her and I know what her names means.I hope this works for her. I sure had fun, with this project, and learned alot, along the way.
