Owl hats

I love crocheting quick projects.  I get to make something and also feel the satisfaction of a finished project.  My sister in law found a cute owl hat on Pinterest that she liked.  She asked if I could make one for their new baby and her older sister.  Nothing like creating down to the wire...  I was putting the finishing touches on as we pulled into the hospital to visit my beautiful new niece!  I can't wait to see the big sister in hers too!

Chevron Baby Shower

My husband's family is pretty big, and rapidly expanding even more!  I had so much fun working on the decorations and cupcakes for a baby shower that we recently had for one of his cousins. Enjoys some pictures!

Valentine's day pjs

I used my serger for the first time and loved it! I used this tutorial: http://mycottoncreations.blogspot.com/2010/07/christmas-eve-pajama-pants-tutorial.html?m=1

It was so easy!

Hats, Hats, Hats

I am in love with Hats :)  Check out my new kitty hat  and the girls having fun.  My next project is going to be a Mike the Knight hat for my cousin's son for Halloween.  Wish me luck!

Trying to blog from my cell! Test :)

I am trying to see if I can use my cell phone to add posts.  Thus is where I take pics and my iPad sprang't really let me post!  We will see how this does:)
Just a peek at a scrapbook layout .... More will come if this works :)

Elephant Granny Stripe Baby Blanket

Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted on here!  I am going to try to start checking off some of the projects on my list, so I hope to put a lot more out here.  I just finished crocheting two (well the second is almost finished) baby blankets.  I have been really inspired by the blog Attic24.  I love her use of colors (or should I type colour since it is an English blog :)! Lucy is very talented on her ability to create projects and write patterns.  I have also viewed a flikr pool where people have posted projects that were inspired by her blog.  I loved one of the blankets that I saw that used gray and pink!  The colors looked wonderful together and I couldn't resist starting a blanket of my own.

After I started my blanket, my cousin Laura told me that she was doing her baby nursery in gray and pink with elephants.  My mind started whirling... how could I crochet an elephant and applique it to the blanket.  This is what I came up with.  (I did look for a pattern on the internet and couldn't find something I wanted!)  I think that it turned out great if I do say so myself.  (Even if my oldest (4) told me that she thought that it was a duck.  haha.) 

***Excuse the pictures, they are from my cell phone.  I was too excited to give baby Taylor the blanket that I didn't wait to take better pictures!

Turkey Hats

The new baby should be here soon!  I decided that I wanted a turkey hat (as hopefully it is here before Turkey day!).  I found a pattern on Etsy and off I went.  My problem is that I have started about 5 hats, and haven't put them together yet.  (I had to buy a lot of yarn for 1 hat and I wasn't sure on the size, so I just kept making them!)  Here is a pic of the first! (I made a older hat size also ;)
