crochet for the home

my grandmother has gotten so excited of all my projects i have taken on. she keeps wanting to show me hat patterns and so on. well she has a book she let me borrow that has the prettiest place mats (you could make them any size and use them for anything really) and i am going to make them. just need to find the right gold/mustard color.

      

jenna's purse

so for jenna's birthday this year, i made her a purse. her birthday was may 17. it is now july 27th and i finally just finished it yesterday. i hope she uses it and likes it :)

i dont rest my hands, not even for a day.

i have realized how much i like making shoes. well, i guess they're slippers. this design is so nice, and being me, i have to alter the pattern and i don't pay attention to it after a couple of uses. it all becomes freestyle and for some reason, i can't stick to patterns. the design yes, but not the specifics.

for small magazine

Exciting!

So Angela told me to email this lady who is doing a feature in small magazine. At first I wasn't sure, but then I decided to see what she says, and...drum roll please...My crochet stuff for kids will be featured in the Fall issue of the magazine. Yay! I just think that is neat and my grandmother would be proud :)

So, please stay tuned as I make lots of new stuff! (and lets hope its good!)

My planned items are: beanies, scarves, booties, & leggings (fall/winter stuff). Not sure how many will be made of each...but at least two. It's a lot, but she is sending them back to me in the end, so I figure meh, what the heck! This is my chance!

And I have the PERFECT yarn in mind.

Abigail's Sun Hat & Shoes

This set was made for my niece's 1st birthday. She's rather plump, and I want this to last more than 1 month, so the sizes are a little bigger than a regular 1 year-old. But I enjoyed making it and this weekend she will be photo'd with them on :) yay!

I really do enjoy seeing my crocheted stuff on little kids.
