Crochet Fingerless Gloves

Ok so in between picking up the kids from school I made this pair of fingerless gloves. I made them at the same time using one end of the skein of yarn and the other. So when I needed to put the edging on I was ready to do the edging on the otherone as well.

Crochet Lunch Sac

Finally got out the crochet hook and this beautiful yarn color called berries. Yum!
I instantly wanted to make a Lunch Sac and in two days here is my creation.

Crocheting again!

I wanted to make one of those Kufi hats and hunted down a pattern. Needless to say I looked everywhere for my crochet hook and couldn't find it. We moved and I don't know where everything went. So I kept looking, thinking I got to have one stuck in some project I haven't finished. And there it was... I whipped up three hats and my daughter is modeling the hot pink one I made. They are quick and easy.

The YoYo Bunney

Ok- Here is one of my projects I just finished or have I? He is a YoYo Bunny.
I feel like he's missing something but oh well. He is finished for now.

Receiving Blankets

Ok-These are always fun to make and put away for anyone having a baby.
I love crocheting edges on them because they are fast and easy to do.
It's a nice break from the big projects.
I love how the yellow stands out on this one.

7 up poodles!

Ok- Here they are The 7 Up Poodles!
I am making these for my daughters preschool. I found the pattern on the internet and thought I'd give them a try. They go over a can of pop. The preschool class is very small. I hope they enjoy them as much as my daughter is about taking them to school.

all stars!!!!

I have been making allstar booties for the babies. Too bad I'm no longer having babies to wear these cute little booties. But here we go!!!!! I got the idea and started making these without a pattern. I am making other colors too!





I made these for my purple lover three year old. And they are just her size.

crochet baby dresses

My grandmother use to crochet baby dresses with puff sleeves and snaps; tied in ribbon. I always wanted one of these dresses but I was one of her youngest grand daughters and never got one. So, I asked my Aunt about the dress and she borrowed one for me to look at and this is what I came up with.

I was pleased it turned out so well that I have made three and one pink one with booties.

TV JAKE

Have you ever lost your remote? Always looking for it? Here's a salution! TV JAKE. He lays next to the TV stand and children always return the remote to him. I have five children and they either have the remote or Jake does. Found this pattern on freepatterns.com under decorations & KnickKnacks. So, I thought I'd give it a try. Turned out pretty good except the pattern had a short leg on the back which I made longer to match the other leg.

Butterfly Magnets

I made these last night. I had some magnets on my fridge that the children have peeled the advertisement off of and this is what I came up with.

Crochet Butterfly

Choose your red heart yarn. Regular crochet hook. Pipe cleaner & flat strong magnet.

Row 1 chain 8 and connect and chain three double crochet two so that will be three stiches chain 3 and double crochet three into the ring and keep track and make 8 total.

Row 2 next color slip stitch and tie chain 3,double crochet 2,chain 3 double crochet 3 next loop connect with double crochet 3 in next loop, chain 3 double crochet 3, repeat so 8 are looped and the other are in between connected. (sorry can't explain that better)

Row 3 change yarn slip stitch and single crochet and connect with ten double crochet into the next loop repeat. There must be 8 with this done and the ones inbetween have single crochet just to move to the next wing. fold over when done tie the pipecleaner through middle and glue magnet to back. Have fun.

Hello Kitty seems to be a big hit!

I bought a pattern from ebay and have been busy crocheting Hello Kitty dolls and small purses for little girls. My youngest daughter loves purple so I made her a set. Here's the picture. She loves them.
