Crocheting myself into a corner

I sold one of my shawls, Deep Calls Unto Deep and the person who bought it ordered 2 more. One the same color and another I'll be making in Sierra.
I'm also making a baby sweater for another friend who's granddaughter was born a couple of weeks ago. I am hoping that I'll have all three done by this weekend.

Creator of the Universe Shawl

I kept hearing a song by Morningstar called "Creator of the Universe" while crocheting this incredible soft shawl.

Lyrics:

In Your presence, Oh Lord,
We're consumed with Your heart
And delight in Your goodness, Oh God
Just as the bride and the bridegroom romance
We want to cause you to joy and move you to dance

Creator of the universe
Won't You dance, Oh dance with us?

Holy Spirit in graceful descent
Come and fall as our praises ascend
As a dove, come and rest in Your grace
Take us to the holiest place

Creator of the universe
Won't You dance, Oh dance with us?

I made this with Lion Brand Homespun - Deco and a K hook using this pattern.

This shawl is so beautiful, the color is simply comforting. I pray that whoever receives this feels comforted by the Creator. It measures 17" x 121". It's long and is great to wrap around.

Breathe Shawl

While crocheting this shawl I kept hearing a song by Leonard Jones called "Holding Your Breath" found on Morningstar's "Coming out of Egypt" album.

The words are:
Out of darkness You brought forth light
Out of nothing You commanded the night

Holding Your breath
Out of Your words You made the worlds
Out of play You took a son for Yourself
Holding Your breath

Kneeling down Breathing out
Face - to - face
Your embrace

Out of the dust you created my heart
From the earth You brought form unto my soul
Out of your spirit you breathed in new life
Breathe into us again!

Breathe into us, Lord!
We're turning blue.

Out of touch I have run too fast
Coming back I return to you at last
Holding Your breath.

So kneeling down
I breathe in
Face - to - face
Your embrace

Out of the dust you created my heart
From the earth you brought form unto my soul
Out of your spirit you breathed in your life
Breathe into us again!

Na - na -neo
Na - na - neo pneuma
Na - na - neo

I added the following scripture to the card on the shawl as I felt this is what the Lord wanted to communicate to whoever this shawl is for:
Genesis 2:7 - the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Psalm 33:6 - By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
Psalm 150:6 - Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
John 20:22 - And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit."

I made this shawl out of Lion Brand Homespun in Mediterranean. Lion Brand describes the yarn color, "'Painterly' color The colors of a Grecian hillside -- dusty olive and warm tans." I used an N hook and adapted this pattern. It measures about 22" x 76".

NOTHING is safe! I will embellish EVERYTHING with crochet!

Mua ha ha ha. I just had to crochet this "sweater" for Scott's guitar stand. Actually, it's our son Levi's guitar stand that Scott is going to be using soon.

Ok, so I didn't do this of my own accord. Scott came up to me and asked if I would crochet a cover for the stand. It was getting pretty worn but he didn't see a need to purchase a new one. I was honored he asked and got to work right away. (I was reminded that I got to work on it right away because I suffer from obsessive compulsiveness LOL.) I used Caron Simply Soft Autumn Red and a size H hook. I had to crochet around the stand, which was interesting, but it worked. For the bottom part, I crocheted two tubes and then crocheted them together when they were on the stand.

Suede Purse

A friend gave me an idea to crochet the purse with a leather bottom and a little bigger. So I went to the Rag Shop today with my 30% off my entire purchase coupon and purchased 3 skeins of Lion Brand Suede in Denim and 1 skein of Bernat Envy in Beautiful Blue. I'm excited to see how this one will turn out. I will use an exacto knife to cut holes in the suede. I tried looking for a hole puncher, but couldn't find anything. So, we'll see how it comes out. :)

Suede Feather purse/tote

I made this deliciously velvety soft purse out of Lion Brand Suede in Mocha and Black and Bernat Boa in Raven and an I hook. I used a pattern from Lion Brand - Evening Tote.

This tote measures 8 1/2" long x 6" deep x 7" wide. There are no pockets, but this is a great tote to throw your keys, wallet and iPod in when you don't want to use a large purse. I really like this totel

iPod Sock

I made this iPod sock out of Red Heart Shocking Pink together with Lion Brand Fancy Fur Flaming Fuchsia with a K hook. The colors make for a fun iPod sock. :) It fits my iPod Nano.
