Baby gifts 2

wrap sweater I made a long time ago. I hate to give it away because I have yet to recreate it but it has set in a bucket so I must gift it and set it free.

Baby gifts 1

crochet sweater matching bottied and a matching hat (not pictured)

Cabled baby hat

look at me doing cables without a cable needle. Look at me doing cables this is my first cable project!

Do I really need these?

ok I can make them faster on the machine. Ithink I am going to take them down

Yeah ahh hah ahh hah

Ionly got the one pair finished but I am proud of that. I started these pedicure socks a long time ago and now I got a pair! And the jacked up toes are really why I need them. These need to be cold or not.

Not really sure

it took me three hours but I got 1 done not really sure if that is really all that much faster I mean it is but it still was a lot of work 1 more to go will I get four pairs total?

Pedicure socks

I trying to make some pedicure socks for the sat. This is taking forever. I need four pairs I may need to take this to the machine. This is my first pair of socks

Swatch

I have been crocheting for a real long time and this is my very first swatch?

Ok now

I am making a dress knit on top fabric on bottom not sure if this style is original or not but it is new to me. Only problem I made it too small for lela! Boo!

It's a wrap!

go me two at a time ! Now back to my striped one. I wonder why two at a time did not work for me when I was doing mittens?

1 apple cozy 2 apple cozy

so far so good two apple cozies at once!

My baby is 6 months old

can you believe he is already 6 months old? Need to digi scrap this!

Go mama!

I did it! Even the leaf! Go me!

Ok so he woke up

I know it looks like I woke him up to put the hat on but I did not and doesn't it look cute it is really small though.

Baby cabled hat with brim

I may have done it I would put it on him but I hate to wake him because it took so long to put him to sleep

Look who I saw at CIAA

I know right Jada Kiss and Mary J. Blige say it aint so! I also saw Eric and Geno there but did not get pics. It was a great night.

Another set

they are so easy to make I can't stop making them. Later I will show you how many sets I actually made and had just sitting in a box it is a sickness. But they are so cute!

ANTM

Americas next top model
Tried to buy a sweater that matched my bags like my co workers ended up getting a granny sweater so i am taking it back but had to get in a few shots with the bag. it does do well with the bags!

Kelley in action

my co worker happen to have a sweater (from express) that went great with kelley.

Better pic of baby thorpe

here is a way better picture of the thorpe I made for the baby .

Silly apple copy

I did it. Now to add letter and get an apple big enough to get rid of the corners.

Isn't she lovely

this is a little sweater for a coworker's baby girl due this summer. Made some matching booties as well. Plan is to make a purple set as well out of bernat cotton tots. I made this out of the yarn I got from knit picky in winston salem.

I kind hate to felt it

not sure if Iwant to make it longer or not I am the end of my two balls of cascade do I make it longer then felt it or do I just felt it now? Button hole handles or no buttonhole handles

Baby thorpe

not really sure if you see it that good took a quick snap shot when getting ready for school (on the way out of the door actually) his is blue and black with black ear flaps. I did not edge it yet. Not sure if I will.

All this with 2 balls

I have completed all of this with only two balls of cascade! And look at that pretty green. I don't know what I am doing wrong but my green bag on the plastic 15s is working up well. But my yellow bag on the wooden (I think bamboo) 15s is a pain. The stitches keep getting stuck.

I am gonna do it

last year Iwanted a green and yellow bag and this year I will have one. But I am I am gonna do it I am going to make me a muppet and rock it. To go over the top I may even quilt it. Never seen that now have you?

He stole it quick

leon stole a quick pic of his smile he usually doesn'tsmile for pics like his daddy

Tumbler

looking though digiscrap blogs and came across a free coffee tumbler quick page but I wanted mine more custom than just my name with a little internet research found a free blank template now the sky is the limit the pic is of my valentine tumbler.Oh what about a black history month tumbler!
Digi scrapping is great. Now that I have discovered quick pages woo wee!

Not quite right

I thought that I could just continue in the round although the pattern clearly said not to and so my apple cozy did not turn out quite right!

Apple cozy

I know I am blogging everytime I think it is because I can. I got cocky and messed up on the pink apple cozy. Saw this red yarn and restarted with it. Made it to row 16 without a mess up. Pattern says start knitting back and forth so we will see

Too Cute

This dress is too cute! It has pockets too but it really is a simple tube with ribbing on top and bottom and two straps. How cute would my baby be? Now mine would not be that jazzy and probably made with redheart yarn.

It is on

now I can make my scrapbook book pages and print them 8x8 go me ! each child has their own photo album leon was like why do you need three scrapbooks? "because I want three"

Silly apple cozy

so far so good I don't have any dpns and so it is magic loop. Food for thought: magic loop is the best thing going why doesn't everyone feel that way?

Another Bouquet Idea

saw this at michaels Ilike this different types of roses peonies and regular need to see if Blondine can make it for me

Wedding Bouquet idea

how can Iget this in yellow for less that 100 dollars?

Crafting trials

My family was gone to visit grandma so I crafted made this ice cream in about 1-2 hours. Not bad

For her wedding, Monica gave all her attendats and hostess a bag with that had flip flops and some other things in it. I want to do the same. I want to make the bag though. so i thought i could so a straw bag since it is summer time. so i bought the above pictured seagrass for $2.50 not bad. only to get the hot mess you see on the needles aslo pictured aboved. I tried it all together barely made a stitch so I untwisted to the plys and what is on the needles is what i got. so I need a new plan. I was telling Raena i need another plan she is going to try with suede yarn. I may try with straw colored crochet nylon. Nita Says just buy the bags! I may do that. Nita also said she may have some smaller sea grass at her house . she used to make baskets. if nothingelse that sea grass is going to make somr cute handles.


Look at my nephews they are only 12 and 11 but look how big they are i will try to post a pic of them as babies. Like my friend they have the nerve to grow up.

My chunkball

My chunk ball is 4 months old today. Crafting.... I did make a thorpe i did not do the garter sts so my ears came out too long. I am making one for chunkball and I am doing the garter ridges. I also want to make a straw bag so I am looking for raffia jute straw something. I found some raffia 80 yards at michaels not sure if that is going to be enough. And I found it in a blue that is close to the wedding colors. I am trying to make straw bags for my bridesmaids you know summer wedding and I thought that would be cute.
