Blog Promotion

My daughter is testing various products and has a blog. Lacy test alot of baby products and products that would be of interest to women. Check out Mommy Talks.

Stroller Snuggies

I have been busy just nothing crochet related until now. I have 2 stroller snuggies that I am working on. I don't know why I'm working on 2 at the same time. I love the lavender snuggie but it seems to be taking forever. I'm sure it is because the snuggie is made from baby yarn. Tiny tiny. The varigated snuggie is also made with baby yarn but I used strands. The varigated snuggie is a gift for a friend who is due the end of June.

Hex blanket

We got moved. DH and I thought at the most it would take us 2 days to get moved. Boy! Were we ever wrong. lol It took us 5 days and Jon (s-i-l) helped us one day.

Needless to say I didn't get too much crocheting done. Lacy did a sneak peak on her LJ blog of the hex blanket and 20 minutes later it was sold before it was finished. WOOHOO! And I have an order for another one in different colors.

My internet friend CraftyGryphon Knits made a stroller snuggie, too cute. I need to make some of these. Of course, mine won't be knitted like her's.

Moving

I will be back soon.

Hex blanket

All of the yellow hexes are completed. I've got them all stacked I hope in the correct order to sew them correctly. lol The way my luck runs I will sew 2 hexes of the same color together. Thanks to CraftyGryphon Knits for telling me how she decides on what color thread to use to stitch things together.

I still haven't found any lime green but Lacy found this green and I think it will be just fine. I have sewed the hexes together into rows and now I'm sewing the rows together. I can't wait to start crocheting the border.

Lacy's blanket Part 7

This blanket is not growing the way I want it to. I've decided I will be finished with it in about a year. I like the way the self striping yarn makes different patterns.

Yarn

Last week was not a good week for me in the yarn department. On Wednesday I ran out of the Bernat Baby Coordinates in Strawberry, then Thursday I finished with the yellow for the hex blanket and STILL couldn't find the perfect lime green. Thursday we also had snow so I didn't leave home. I know I don't know how to drive in snow but other people don't realize they don't know how to drive in snow. So what's a girl to do? Start another project until she has time to go purchase more yarn, of course. No new yarn was purchased for this project. It will just be a hexagon made using up my scraps. Is it pretty? I don't think so. Friday I didn't get to work on the project in the day as I had Scentsy to sell in the morning and tea towels to applique' in the afternoon.

Etsy, artfire and the economy

I have always said I would never have an Etsy store as I have never cared for Etsy. However, with the economy the way it is currently and my husband getting laid off and being unable to find a job, our financial situation is in a downward spiral.

By now I'm sure you are saying "Why is she telling us this?" Well, because I wanted to show you some of the items I have been making for my etsy store.

I hope to have some tea towels applique'd and uploaded soon. I will post pics of the tea towels then after that I will be posting about them on my quilting blog.

I am also making reusable nursing pads but my daughter's friends are buying those pretty fast.

I've also made several can cozies. The cozies work up fast and I think they are pretty cute.

If you have any ideas of items that I could make to sell, please let me know.
