*** Swedish Woven Heart Basket ***
Here is a Swedish Valentine!
I created these especially for my father’s 90th birthday in February.
Ted Erikson still swims almost every day,
and he is the strongest person I know.
His father was born in Boden, Sweden so…
S V R (yes, we are) Scandinavian.
When I was a kid, every December,
the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry
displayed Christmas Trees of the World.
My favorite was the Swedish Tree.
It was always filled with cloth or paper woven-hearts.
You can use this little basket as an ornament on your Christmas Tree, too.
Enjoy!
Tanyarzh made a Russian video translation for my pattern.
It includes an edging that does not serve as a basket (only as an ornament).
But, it is very cute.
Here is the link:
**************************************
*** Mermaid Lip Balm Cozy ***
Here is cute little mermaid that will hold your lip-balm.
You can attach her to your keychain, belt-hook, or backpack.
She would also make a great stocking-stuffer.
The Mermaid is crocheted all in one-piece.
A good project for stash-busting.
I hope she puts a smile on your face.
**************************************
*** Spirit Fidget Wishing Stone and Pouch ***
If you wish hard enough, your wishes come true.
It has Magical Powers, if you hold it tight:
All will be Well, and all will be Right.**************************************

Pattern on hold.
Triton, son of Poseidon and King of the Seas.
Hmmmm…… Who does he look like?
I designed this especially for my father, Ted Erikson,
the infamous World Class Marathon Swimmer.
Even though he is approaching 90, he still swims regularly,
competes and still achieves victory awards.
competes and still achieves victory awards.
His swimming record is incredibly impressive.
Triton is sitting on a boulder in the middle of the ocean,
contemplating his power over the waters.
Triton is happy to calm the seas or roar into a mighty storm.
And, just as quickly as he arrived, he can transform back into an Enchanting flower.

Here’s a little ball, to take away your stress.
To exercise your hands, just grab ahold and press.
It can be used in other ways: to release your pain or anger.
Just throw it at the culprit, that raises up your dander.

Happy Mother's Day!
If you received one of these, I hope it brightened your day.
This is another little gift for my mother to hand out at the Florida clinic.
My mother tells me that the patrons look forward to these little trinkets.
One lady, who put it on her finger, said this one could be used as a ring.
The pattern is the dark blue flower
(from my flower pencil toppers) minus the topper.

I attached a folded 4” pipe cleaner to the back as a leaf.
