Crafty Items made by my sister

The dog and cat both enjoy wearing their bandannas. They are made with a casing at the top, and the collar goes through the casing, then is put on the pet and they stay on better.
The baskets are made from the fronts of greeting cards. She laminates them and crochets them together at the seams. She can always use more greeting card fronts and anyone wishing to donate any can send them to Phoebe, c/o 1918 Steves Ave, San Antonio, TX 78210.

The scrappy bags are to hang on your sewing table to put your little threads and scraps in as you sew. They are attached to a pincushion filled with sawdust to weight them down on the table.
She also crochets tops on dishtowels to hang them over cupboard drawers. She has made crocheted balls for dogs and cats to play with, and other neat items.
She has made lots of "tater bags". You put potatoes in them and bake them in the microwave. You don't have to prick the potatoes, and you bake them the same amount of time you usually do in the microwave. Each bag holds up to 4 potatoes, and they turn out nice and fluffy.
