52 Finishes: Week 26 Newsboy Caps

I haven't crocheted in a while so it was fun to work on these two hats.  They have a cute chunky kind of stitch, and then with the added brim, they are adorable on children.  I made one for Jayne about 2 years ago, and loved it when she wore it.  I really should make her another one.  I still have the dark brown one, I'm going to list it in my etsy shop.  Its about a 3-6 month size.    To see my other finishes, click HERE. Can you believe it, I'm halfway done! Only 26 finishes to go...

52 Finishes: Week 18- Lamb Hat Giveaway!

Did you know, I've been blogging for 4 Years?! I have, as of last Friday.  You can read my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year wrap ups if you want to...

Some of my favorite things that have happened this year...

September sewing month, which will happen again, starting Thursday! Yay!

I love pumpkins

Family pictures are so great, and they captured Max sitting up for the first time!

I started my 52 finishes Project, and I will finish it too :)

You learned about my crazy super market happenings.  This one involving the invention of the quesadilla

Darick's family had their first reunion!

Shall we move on to even more exciting things? Cool.  So I saw this hat and thought it was super cute.  I knew I could recreate it, and so I got to work.  Here's the result...

Instead of having it tie ( too much hassle with a baby/child) I just made a strap that buttons.    I love how it turned out!  I won't tell how I did it, cause I don't think that would be fair to the original artist(but I did crochet it)  I think this hat would be cute pretty much anytime of the year.  Halloween? Yes please!  Snowy day? For sure! Just because? Why not?!  And just because I am celebrating.... I'm gonna give this hat away!  You'll have til Friday to leave a comment telling me what you would use this hat for. I would say it might be a smidge too small on Jayne for everyday wear, but Max was taking a nap during the picture.  So I would say newborn-3years old?  But hey, whatever floats your boat. 

To see my other finishes, Click here!  thanks for celebrating with me!

Baby Giraffe

I’ve been working on Christmas gifts (can you believe we only have 2 1/2 mo. left?!  ag!)  I found this really cute (FREE!)  pattern for a crocheted baby giraffe.  I wanted to use yarn from my stash, so if I could do it again, I would change the colors a little. 

He’s only about 7 inches tall, and I got him done in a couple hours (spaced apart over a couple nights… about 2 Project Runway Episodes)

He’s a really good project for a beginner.  if you know how to chain and do a single crochet, you can totally make him!

My favorite parts of him are his cute little ears and mane.

Max likes his arms (sorry baby- you can have him at Christmas!)

Find the pattern here, sign up for a Ravelry account.  Its free! and it’s the best. site. ever. Especially if you love yarn projects.

Baby K

My sister Shaina is having a baby. We're all really excited for a new little edition to our family. But Baby K has a heart problem, so he'll need to be in the hospital for a while, and babies in the hospital don't really get to wear clothes... there's just too many tubes , wires and such. Just thinking about Baby K makes me want to hold him and love him, but since I can't, I'll do what I can, which is make him cute things for his hospital stay. Here's a little hat, functional and unique, and I can just picture how cute Baby K will look in it.

Dollie wallie doodle all the day

I know i haven't been posting lately as much as some of you may be used to:) but i have been in Colorado visiting one of my sisters. we have had lots of fun doing all kinds of great things that I'm not going to blog about, because most of my readers read her blog too, and i don't think i need to repeat what she said... however if you want to read about all the fun I'm had click here.

We've been busy crafting! and i taught my sister how to use her sweet crochet skills to create a little Dollie of her own! some of you may remember this post and this post of dollies I've made in the past... well Shaina totally did and awesome job, her little Dollie is the one that looks like a Spanish rose (the one on the right) her name is Rosita, and mine is names Clara (by my nephew Kolby)

I have decided that this little Jewel is going to Summer's little girls, her blog is so cute and she's so artsy...and I've owed her a little toy for a while (sorry it took so long)

I hope you all have a good weekend... since i probably won't post again until Monday!
