Blushing Buttercream Pettiskirt GIVEAWAY!!!!

Blushing Buttercream Pettiskirt GIVEAWAY!!!!

This is SOO Adorable!!

Secret.... Shhhh....

I know I haven't been posting much on here lately, but I've been busy working on a secret project. I wish I could post some pics of my progress so far, but I can't. This is by far the biggest pattern I have taken on and it's taking me awhile to finish. I promise that as soon as I'm able to, I'll post pics. :)

Crazy about Scarves

Here are three more scarves I just recently made. The first one is made with Vanna's Choice yarn (this is quickly becoming one of my favs for almost any project). The 2nd is a ruffle scarf with a wool blend. The third is a more decorative scarf that I got from the 'Cozy Crochet Kit'.

A few more hats (big surprise... lol)

Here are two more hats and a scarf I made. The black hat was a request... it's like one I made that Madison modeled a few posts back (it was red with an ivory flower), but I made this one with Homespun yarn so it's super soft.

A few more things...

Here are a few more things I made today. I made a hairband with a bow and a flower (althought I'm not sure what I'll do with this yet).











And another hat... see a pattern here? lol

Here's my newest hat. I found the pattern on ravelry.com (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nubby-brim-cloche#) and it was pretty easy to make. Unfortunately, you are suppose to use a really chunky yarn and I didn't... so it doesn't fit me that well.... But it does fit the kids.

Finally a Pink & Purple hat

Here's another hat I just finished last night for Madison. She really wanted a pink and purple hat... so she got one. It's hard to see, but I put a pom pom on top. I used Vanna's Choice yarn and I'm really liking this yarn for hats (it's so soft and stretchy so the hat will fit different head sizes easily). I made a green and grey hat for my grandfather, but I'm not thrilled with how it came out so I may run out to get a skein of green Vanna's Choice yarn.

Another Lost Tooth

Justin just lost his 2nd tooth!! It's on the bottom, right next to the first tooth he lost. He's super excited because it means he gets to put it under his pillow tonight for the tooth fairy. Thank goodness the 'tooth fairy' happens to have cash on hand since she seems to mostly use her debit card lately.. lol.

I found a pattern online for crocheting a beret and I decided to give it a try. About a third of the way thru, I realized it was one of the worst patterns ever. The person who put the pattern online 'assumed' you would do certain things in each row, but failed to put those instructions in the pattern. I decided to cut my loses and to make it doll size, rather than waste more yarn and make it big enough for an adult to wear. I started a green and grey hat last night (like the ones the kids are wearing in a previous picture) and will have it finished today. It was a special request from my grandfather. :)
