Do I have your address?

Found a very easy pattern for crocheted coasters. I'm talking so easy it takes like 5/10 minutes maybe to make one. I like making things that I can make and carry on a conversation, watch TV, etc. So if I have your address you will be receiving a set of 4 coasters. These will be mailed as I get them completed. The pink trimmed in red were made for Lacy and I, DH and Jon didn't want that color. :P I had this little bit of yarn left so I made the yellow, green, white and purple just because. Did you guess that the camo coasters were for the guys?

Half Granny Square shawl

I found this link on Ravelry. I love all the patterns and blogs that I can find at Ravelry.The link for this pattern took me to Ambar's webpage. Lots of goodies over there and when Ambar found out I was having difficulty she contacted me. Now how sweet was that? Now that I know what I was doing wrong this is so easy and I can do it without thinking. I love making things that I don't have to continuously count. I am already planning the next shawl using self striping yarn. FUN FUN!! Lacy thinks I should make summer shawls using this pattern also. We will see. I didn't put much fringe on shawl because I wasn't sure who I would give the shawl to and I didn't want them to be overwhelmed with fringe being in their way.

A finish

I finished Greg's blanket Christmas eve, not to big and not to small just right.

Peaches n Creme

Isn't this beautiful? I swear I wasn't going to buy it but it kept jumping in the basket. ;) I'm thinking it might be a bag but I'm not certain . . . yet :D

Merry Christmas To My Angel Friends

I believe in angels

those helpers who are near

exactly when they're needed most,

then seem to disappear.

I know them when I see them

whatever their disguise

they're patient and encouraging

resourceful, kind, and wise.

Yes, I believe in angels

the kind that heaven sends

and I'm surrounded every day

by angels I call friends.

God gave me someone special

when He gave me

A special friend like you.

Have a Blessed Christmas!

a bag

I found this cute little bag pattern over at Suzies's Stuff. Of course, I had to make at least one. APPROXIMATE SIZE:5 inches deep and 6.5 inches across the opening

Booties

I thought Baby C needed some booties to match the hat his mom made for him. They feel like fuzzy house slippers. ;) They are so cute and tiny.

I really do other things besides make hats. I post pictures of them. lol Here is Jon's camo hat. I guess he likes it he wore it all day INSIDE the house. lol I crocheted this hat using this pattern. Can I say easy? http://www.firebrunetteknitting.com/2007/09/26/single-crochet-beanie-pattern/

This is the scarf that I'm made for Lacy. Lacy didn't want the scarf to be too long so that she feels like she is fighting it while managing 2 babies.

Could it be??

Could it be that hat making is contagious? Lacy made this hat for Greg and she has another one on the loom. I'm so proud of her. :D

What?? Another hat!

Are you tired of looking at hats? I certainly seem to be addicted to making them. Lacy has suggested that I find a charity to donate hats. I'm giving this some thought and I'm leaning towards baby hats but I could change my mind.

Yes, I made Nikolas another hat. I love this color combination. I used the Knifty Knitter to make this hat.

Stash growing

I took my daughter to the mall today to get a book at Border's. When she was done she said "let's go to Hobby Lobby." We love that store. After walking the entire storing leaving a trail of drool we ended up in the yarn section. Look at the goodies she got me to create with. The navy (way at the back) will be part of a navy and white hat for Greg to wear home, it matches his shirt. The aqua was just soft and pretty. The camo is for a hat for Jon. The orange sherbert will be a hat for Greg with matching booties. And the blue and green self striping will be hats for both boys. I'm a happy momma!

Greg's blanket

I hated the way Greg's blanket was turning out. It felt thin, limp and it gathered in the corners. So I frogged it and started over. I'm still doing a granny square but I'm much happier this time as I'm using 2 strands of thread. It already has some body to it.

Knifty Knitter

Toni aka TheQuiltingPirate mentioned using her Knifty Knitter in a post. I had never heard of a Knifty Knitter but I checked it out and my daughter set me up with all of these looms. Within 3 hrs I had a hat done that would fit Nikolas. I was very impressed. After chatting with Toni through emails now I know how to make a scraf using my round loom. Now I never said the first hat was perfect the edge of the hat came out loopy and I'm hoping I can figure out a way to save the hate as I thought the red and white yarn made a pretty pattern.

Pink for Ava

I made a mistake on the second bootie. Rather than rip-it, I turned it into an ornament. Ava's mommy thinks I'm so smart. lol NOT!

Baby things are so tiny and sweet

Back to working on Greg's blanket.

Ava Marie

I got busy Wednesday evening making a hat and booties for Ava Marie. I wanted to make a lilac set and a pink set. Finished the lilac set Thursday afternoon and I was working fast as Ava's mother had went into labor. However, before I could finish the little pink hat and no I haven't started on the pink booties, Miss Ava Marie arrived into the world. I can't wait to see her. So today I will be busy making a pair of little pink booties so they can be delivered to their new owner tonight. This is the lilac set.
