Hi All!!

I have to apologize for not being around in the past week. We had our local library plant sale Saturday. It went very well. I bought lots of pretty flowers. LOL. I couldn't help myself. Not to be able to buy flowers when they're right in front of you? That's like giving a child a lolipop and telling them not to eat it! Hahahaha. It was alot of work but we did very well. I really enjoyed being on the plant sale committee. I met some really nice people and they were fun to work with.

In between times I've had a crochet hook in my hand but nothing finished yet. I'm trying to decide what I would like to make next. Hmmmm. I will keep you posted on that.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Crochet baby hats

Here is what I've been working on in between the blanket. Little crochet baby hats! Aren't they cute!!!! They are for baby size 0-6 months. Gosh I'm gonna be a pro at crocheting baby things by the time my kids have children. LOL. I really like this hat style since it's crocheted in the front post and back post stitch. Gives it more give and elasticity. I made them in Bernat Softee Baby yarn.

Blue blanket

I had to take a picture of the progress I've done on my blue baby blanket since it's taking me so long. LOL. I don't want you all to think I'm pulling your leg. I'm halfway done. I am using Lion Brand Pound of Love. It looks purplish in the picture but it's really a pretty blue. I keep switching back and forth with the blanket and other crochet items I'm working on.

Still working on that afghan

I haven't had a ton of time in the past few days to crochet on my blue baby blanket. I am involved in a few committees for our local library. I've been on my toes and going and doing. We are having a plant sale fundraiser on April 28 and so as the date gets closer the more there is to do. I'm also on the Friends of the Library committee and volunteered last week to become the secretary. Soooo I'm trying to stay organized with all the different things going on. LOL. Plus I'm trying to get things made to put on my Etsy store. Head? Spinning? Ummmmm, just a little. On top of all that I just started up a website to sell my crochet. It's called Shari's Handmade Crochet. Check it out and let me know what you think so far. I've got alot to add but it's a beginning.

Working on a boy afghan

I started to work on a little boy afghan. It's done in the crazy stitch which is really easy. I'm doing it in Lions Brand Pound of Love in a nice blue color. I'm about a quarter of the way done it. I thought it was going to be raining and miserable here all day but instead it was almost 60 and really nice so I worked outside in my flower beds. Those weeds!!! Whew!!! Getting it ready for mulching.

I guess I better get moving if I want to get this afghan done and move on to the next crochet project I want to work on. I wish I had 400 fingers like one of my friends has cause she is so fast at crocheting!!!

Water Bottle Holder

I crocheted these awesome water bottle holders. You can see another one in my etsy store pics on the right here. I got the idea for the pattern from Nadias Crochet site. I made the ones I'm selling a bit taller and did it with a shell stitch instead of a V stitch. I just had to have one for myself too! LOVE IT!!!! I used Peaches and Cream crochet cotton. You can also use worsted weight yarn.

Happy Easter!!!

I wanted to say Happy Easter to everyone!!!! I've got a houseful of family and more coming in a little bit. My ham is cooking and my roast smells awesome. I love having my family with me on the holidays!! Haven't had alot of time for crocheting the last few days. Enjoying time with my daughter who flew in from Florida. She wants me to crochet her a hobo bag with crochet cotton. I guess I better get working on that one. Tomorrow we will go shopping for the cotton yarn and then she has to leave in the afternoon. These last few days just flew by. I can't believe it's almost time for her to leave already.

Enjoy your day and don't eat to much candy!!!! LOL

Crocheting Away!

Well I've been crocheting a cell phone/i pod case. I used worsted weight yarn in green and it came out very nice! I think I want to crochet another one but in crochet cotton yarn. I'm always digging through my purse when my cell phone rings and usually never catch it before the person hangs up. This way I can hang it on my purse and never dig again. I love crocheting! You can make such great items and use such awesome yarn brands!!!

Watermelon Coaster

I just finished crocheting these watermelon coasters. I didn't even use a pattern. I made up my own!!! I'm so excited!!!! I am going to make more and maybe some placemats to go with it. I have to figure out how to crochet an oval. I have these posted on my etsy store.
