2 for Tuesday

I don't normal do a 2 for Tuesday but since I had a fun weekend I thought I would show you what I did.

Tatum's new headband, she was so excited. Got to love that smile.She still would like Grandma to make her a Hello Kitty Hat. So that is on my list to do. This little headband created a lot of work for me. I got 15 orders for headband. Excited because it will give extra Christmas money.  :)

Levi sporting his new Newsboy hat.  He wanted a football on it  that was a little tough but I  figured it out. The poor  little guy came down with the tummy flu but still manage to model his hat.



 

I best be getting my hook and get busy lots to do besides the headbands I have to make another little zebra hat, and 3 fancy lace scarves made with the RH Sashay.

What to do????

Ok, so I am just about done with my scrap blanket. I have been able to make it big enough to put on our king size bed for extra warmth this winter.
Now I don't know what to do. I want to make a blanket and have plenty of colors in my stash so I need not to by any yarn, I just don't know what pattern to do. There is just so many beautiful patterns out there, darn Raverly and Pintrest. Any suggestions?
I have never done any that you have to sew together, but would like to try. Just don't know if I have the patience to do all that piddly work. 
Maybe I will have to wait till my little granddaughter comes and let her pick a pattern, I don't know.

Slippers and Cinderella

Kinda of a grey day here in southern Minnesota. At least the wind isn't blowing for a change and I guess I should be happy that it hasn't snow. 

As I said in my last post I have been making things to take down to your local craft shop to sell. 

Slippers are a good item for me along with the Nook covers and little girl satchels. 

Here is just a few of the things I have taken down there.

The Nook  Covers have done really well for me.

 Little Girl Satchel's

Slipper's just a easy one piece pattern.  I can't even begin
to tell how many I have made. This is just a few.

One of these days I will figure how to get picture on here where they aren't so scattered. lol

I get it figured out one time and the next time is a disaster. Kinda of like adding thing one the back ground Links etc give me such a hard time. 

Well I better get back to my crocheting I have a order for fancy scarfs made with the Sashy by RH. My daughter goes to Avalon School of cosmetology and the girls love the ruffle scarfs, kind of a headache for me but a little extra cash for Christmas. 

One more thing. Speaking of my daughter Kaylee she is our youngest, she is 26 and recently took part in a fashion show at a local mall on Saturday.  Here is our little dark haired Cinderella. 

And she got engaged just last Tuesday.

Mykenna's Hat

I cannot believe it's been over a month since I last posted, there has been alot going on that's for sure.
There is a cute little shop in our town called Enspired the young gal that opened it had a great idea.
She takes things from local artist and adds a percentage for herself. So I have been busy making things to put in her shop.
My niece asked me if I could make a zebra hat for her little one, the little peanut born early sure has grown. Here that little doll is.

I actually pretty much winged it.  I used the pattern I used last yr for the regular earflap hats, then just looked at other pictures of hats and went from there. Turned out pretty good. Except I made the mistake of not writing it down so I don't know if I could ever do another one like it, maybe similar.


I will get my other stuff posted  shortly its on my camera and I seem to have misplaced it. Humm.
You all have a wonderful day.

Need a little favor

Hi, everyone I don't normally ask for anything for myself. However this week has been a real roller coaster ride. Friday morning I have to go in for breast biopsies 2 to be exact and I am getting very nervous as the time gets nearer. If I could ask for some extra prayers from you would be wonderful.
Thanks my friends.

little bit of this and that

I had made myself a cover for my Nook and now I have people wanting them, How awesome. I got 4 I need to get done pretty quick here is what I have done so far.

This teal one is the one I made for myself.

The purple was made for

a friend of mine.

The yellow one is a Iphone cover.

Then there is a close up of 

Tatum's satchel.

I just thought I should stop out at the store everything 

is 80% off. That was  probably a

no, no. 

LOL

I ended up with a few more skeins of yarn.

Well heck they were 27 cents. They are small 3 oz. skeins 

but that is just to good of a deal. I only got 16, I suppose 

I could of cleaned off the shelf but I was nice there was a 

couple other ladies looking.

You all have a great weekend, until next time Happy Crocheting............

WIP and a few other things

Wow, were has the time gone? It's been almost 3 months since my last post oops. That's summer for you so much going on. I have been working on a baby blanket the 2nd one in a week and a half. Here is a photo I am just finishing up with some edging I really like how it has turned out and its so nice and soft.

Our local Pamida store is closing and becoming Shopko Hometown, guess it's suppose to be a little different then a regular Shopko. I hope they carry yarn or I will have to leave town just to get a skein of yarn. However, I doubt I should need to get any for awhile. I got a super deal with the store closing I was able to by yarn at 70% off what a deal. I bought 34 skeins off yarn Red Heart super saver, red heart shimmer and red heart soft baby step and get this I only paid $47.48 that a average of $1.42 per skein. Here's my recent stash.

As you can see I have  put some off it to use already.  :) One of these days I will take a picture of my entire yarn stash it's almost to crazy.

I finally got to give Tatum her satchel, she loves to model... My little sunshine. She always brings it when she comes to see me.

I have done a few other projects also in the last couple months  but I think I will leave them to my next post and hopefully it won't be so long.

You all have a great day, until next time happy crocheting.
