Welcome to "The Girl's Gone Crafty!" blog about all things, well, crafty, of course! My name is Raquel, owner of Calico Craft Designs, and lover of all things Craft. I hope that you too will join me on my journey to finishing one more UFO (unfinished object), stitching for charity, and just learning more about the wonderful crafts available out there.

Completed Crafty Projects

Thanks for checking out my page of completed crafty projects!  This is by no means a complete list.  I'll keep adding a few items as I find photos of my projects. 

I've added a few photos and details of each item where available.  Unfortunately, I didn't keep detailed records of all of my crafty endeavors, although I really wish that I had.  Please enjoy!

This design was found in one of my many cross-stitch magazines.  I'll have to see if I can find out which one and who the designer is so I can update the blog.  The owl was a Christmas gift for my then new sister-in-law.  She and my brother had only been married for two months.  She loves owls and I thought this would made a nice addition to their living room.

I'll have to see if I can locate the pattern information for this design.  It was from a book containing clothespin, cross-stitch angel patterns that I believe was purchased from Michael's Art & Crafts, but don't quote me on that.  I changed from cross-stitch to hardanger instead to give them a different look.  I made several for Christmas gifts one year, I think in 2009.  My personal favorite was the white thread on white cloth and red hair.  Here are four of the angels that I completed, each slightly different.

The cat pillow design is one created by one of the members of a charity group that I am a part of.  It's called the World of Charity Stitching (WOCS) group through Yahoo.  It's two parts and will be paired with fabric to create a cat-shaped pillow.
