Rainbow hat and blanket
I crocheted this baby afghan this summer using Simply Soft's Baby Brites ombre. Love how it turned out. I got the pattern pattern from pinterest. Then I just used a basic hat pattern and made the matching hat in white Simply Soft and made a border to match the blanket using the same pattern. Love how it turned out. Since no one seems to be having a girl anytime soon, I'll probably try to sell this :)

COWBOY HATS!!!
I saw a pattern for these on Pinterest a few months ago and thought they were so cute. In the past couple of weeks I have made a few of these crocheted cowboy hats and am adding them to my craft fair page. They were so fun to make!

Latest crochet projects...
I still have a bunch of layouts that I haven't gotten around to uploading, but tonight I think I'll just share my most recent completed crochet projects.
I saw this pattern in a "Crochet 1-2-3" magazine of my mom's. I loved it and thought...hey, let's try a circular blanket and see how it goes. I used Simply Soft yarn (love using this for baby blankets because it is SO SOFT!) and thankfully, my MTC comp was having a baby so I had a reason to make this. I finally finished it and got it mailed off to her last week and she received it so now I'll post pictures here...I hope her little one (#6) enjoys this blanket. Now I'm working on a full size afghan for Brian - it's his birthday present (which was a week ago) that is still in progress.
I saw this pattern on Pinterest a few months ago and then Grace became a Hello Kitty fanatic and saw this while I was looking for another pattern on my Knit,Crochet board...yeah, well, it suddenly jumped to the top of my to-do pile.

This year's school picture (I also did last year's...also thought I'd done it and hadn't...) Paper is Provo Craft, I think and the owl is from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge. |

a couple more layouts...
Man - I love when ST has MSD or LOAD, I seem to actually get around to scrapbooking! And boy, do I need to keep it up...I can't even begin to count the amount of pictures I have printed out that I need to do something with - and I don't even want to think about what is still on the computer to print out...I'd probably cry. Then this morning, I started organizing/sorting paper trying to find something I remember having somewhere. Oh my goodness!! I have more paper than I'll ever use. Which is why I haven't really bought any in a long time (except a little bit of girl stuff in the past few years and some Star Wars paper that we found this summer). So I'd better get back to that mess, errrr....project.

Some pages for Nathaniel's Baby Album
I know, he'll be SEVEN in 6 months, but I still have hardly any of his baby pages done. I had most of Joshua's first year done by the time he was 3 1/2 and I didn't start scrapbooking until he was 18 months old...Nathaniel, I've been scrapping his whole life. But a month after he turned 3, Grace was born. So yes, he's the shafted middle child. But, it's not all bad, I've got a lot more cooler stuff to work with to do his pages that I didn't have when I did Joshua's (Cricut, Cuttlebug, etc.) so I'm having fun doing his pages. The majority of these pages I did at the end of July at a crop in Davis that I got to go to when we were down on vacation - all they needed was titles and journaling and just one little thing to dress them up (brads or a Cricut creature or something).

I DO remember how to Scrapbook :)
Storytellers Club is doing their LayOut A Day challenge for February again (love when they do this!) and I'm finally getting a chance to scrapbook. This was for the challenge due today - a seasonal layout about any season but winter ;) Grace swimming at Uncle Terry & Aunt Theresa's last July. The paper is from Storytellers from several years ago, the stickers are from a prize I won during MSD about 5 years ago (maybe 6), the pink CS is from a big pack from Costco from at least 5 years ago. So yep, all the supplies are older than Grace :) |
Another LOAD challenge - this was for yesterday's - use punches (leaf punch on photo on upper left - and punched out leaves added to diecut on bottom right, and circle punch used for circles on the Brothers and Sibling Love photos) Nathaniel at the pumpkin patch - October 2011. This layout was awesome - I'd started it (mats cut, journaling block done, photos and paper all together!!) I don't know how long ago and it got put in a paper storage box and when I went to find some other paper yesterday I found this just needing some glue dots and ink (and I traded out two of the mats because they were just too dark). Most of the supplies in this layout are older than Nathaniel...the background paper is from a DCWV stack that I bought when I first started scrapbooking in 2003...same with the Autumn diecut. The journaling block is from CM, I believe. |
