  • Handspun Pekingese Hair Shawl Handspun Pekingese Hair Shawl. My handspun Pekingese hair shawl. I knitted it using Elizabeth Zimmerman's Pie are Square Shawl pattern. It is very soft. It is knitted entirely from my Maggie's hair. No, it does not have dog smell.
  • Peke Shawl Close-up Close-up view of the 1st peke shawl and the edging.
  • Needlefelt Fairy Needlefelt Fairy. She was fun to make. I used seed beads for her eyes and lips.
  • Window Quilt Curtain Window Quilt Curtain. I made my curtains using my great-grandma's quilt tops, cotton backing and polyester batting. When we raise our curtains in the morn during the winter, the temp drops in the house quickly, they work so well. I think my way of curtains is very clever.
