Show and Tell

Hi everyone! I've gone AWOL again I know. But I've been doing lots! Just the other day, I finished this up for my twins JK teacher. Its the Sweetheart Ripple by Kim Guzman from Crochet World Feb 2009. It worked up so quickly for me, I was done in 2 weeks. This is good cuz I'm such a procrastinator!!! Their last day is Wednesday and i still have to make a little purse for the teachers aide!!! (Gonna do the FBB today) Anyways, heres pics of my Sweetheart Ripple.

What else have I done?? OH! The twins had their first bday party to go to and I made the little girl this halter. I love this pattern!! And its available in tons of sizes!! You can find it here.

I also have 2 more patterns coming soon to my shop. Heres Patrick. (Sorry for the bad pic)

And hes got a bellybutton!!!!!

And lastly Spongebob!!!!

Also, I was in a summer scarf swap and it was so much fun!! I got lots of goodies!! Heres what I got from Sarah.

She has an awesome blog here.

Right now, I'm trying to get the FBB done for Wed, and fix up my Gary pattern by adding Lary and Snellie to it. Pics will come soon, they're almost done.

I VOW TO NEVER DO A GRAPHGAN AGAIN!

OK, maybe not, but not any time soon!! Its finished! Heres my NFLD Flag Lapghan.




Now my next problem, what to charge for it? I have no clue!! lol

I also have been totally neglecting taking pics of my swaps I've been getting. Not for any reason, just because they disappear after the package gets opened, lol. So I tracked my last few down and heres some pics.

I got these butterfly fridgies from Yolanda. She also sent alot of other things. All my boys even got a little thing! I couldn't get pics of those though.



Heres my swap from Connie. I have been wanting to make a cloth with the scrubbie in the middle, but I can't find the scrubbies, so now I have one!! I also love the little tissue holder. Its a great little sewing project that I'm soon going to try.


And lastly, I got these little toys from Billie. My boys love them. I've been searching for more jellyfish patterns, cuz they all really love that one. I couldn't get it out of Liams hans to take a pic, so you get him too!










I LOVE being in swaps! They are so much fun. I'm only sorry that I only just found out about them.

Slow Computer!

I have been meaning to post for a while now,but my computers been acting up. Its OK now though, but who knows what tomorrow will bring, so I'm posting quick.


I received my puffy from Joye about a week ago and I LOVE IT! She made this tiny little knitted pin, its so cute. Its in my hutch, so no little hands can find it.
Here's a pic of everything I got.

















And I tried to get a close up on the pin. This was the best shot I got from 5 tries. Grrrr, I thought I had a good camera, oh well, I must have been to close. But you can still see how cute and tiny it is.
















Lastly, for tonight, I've been wanting to make this Starburst hot pad for a while, so I finally did.

The assembly instructions were a little unclear at first, so I searched through Ravelry and someone on there cleared it right up by saying how you should sew through the TOP sc of each square. So, now they're easy and I love them! I wanna make one next with no white, but I'll have to find a matching colour and ombre...maybe cottontots? hmmmm... Well,I've got lots of Mothers Day stuff on the hook right now and will post as soon as its all done..hopefully tomorrow? Bye!!

Another One Bites The Dust!!

I finished another WIP!! Yeah!. I also finished a Spiderman RR that I started last week, and in my true nature, I have started the Noahs Ark Blanket from Crochet! May 2008.

Here's the Chevron Stripes Blanket that I've finally finished. Its from "Vannas All Through The House". Its supposed to have fringe, but I dunno, I wasn't too sure about it so I just left it out. I like it without.

I like putting the blankets on a chair for the pic, It seems more realistic than just laying on a floor.

I got a close up of the stitches. I liked how it was done in BLO for the front.

Then, my Spiderman RR. This is my 4th one and I still have a request for one more. I'm getting so good at them that this one only took me a little over 1 week. I just don't like the last few rounds. They're sooooo long!!

Also, I got an email from my fridgie exchange leader that my partner got her puffy. I haven't received an email from her, so I dunno. I thought they were nice. Well, I can show them now cuz at least she has them.

These are the fridgies I sent. It was a pattern from my Old Crochet With Heart mag (I told you before they were my faves!) The pattern had 3 in it and I couldn't break them up! Its called Victorian Fancies.

I also made her a little Ladybug. Another one of Kristie MN's from Crochetville. Shes so talented. I love Crochetville. So many patterns there!

Well, thats it for tonight. Gotta go watch CSI Miami!

I Suck, I Know

OK, so I haven't posted in just about forever. Sorry about that. I had my baby boys 2nd bday this past Sunday and I have this problem of wanting to do EVERYTHING myself, from decorations to incitations to cakes. So, I've been busy. I have never liked Mickey Mouse. MUCH MUCH prefer Bugs Bunny, but of course your children have a mind of their own and Ethasn first cartoon taht he would actually watch was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It comes on and he starts squealing "Mouse!" Its so cute, so I just HAD to do a MM themed party right? So I started with the invitations















Then I made a couple posters (forgot to take pics of those), a birthday banner (no pic :() and a "Pin the Hat on Angry Donald" game, which we never got around to playing. I also made the loot bags, shaped like Toodles and filled them with MM goodies from the $ store (I LOVE that place!)

And of course the crochet part. I made all the kids MM hats!

I had to put names on them, because they were all diff sizes. I put bows on the girls too, but again, no pics. Heres the birthday boys hat.

I got the pattern from
http://bz-designs.com/patt004.htm















The biggest surprise of all (to me too) was that my own Mom came dressed up in a full MM mascot suit, with the head and EVERYTHING!! It was awesome and, I wasn't sure how Ethan would react, but he LOVED it!!
















OH and my fave part, I made the cake! It tasted just as good as it looked!
















New news is I'm in my first 2 exchanges! I'm so excited. I'm in a fridgie and bookmark exchange. I have ideas that I'm working on tonight and will be done in the next couple of days, I hope they're liked!! I also want to make my friends daughter (who turned 2 today) a teddy of "In the Night Garden" Its her fave show, but I can't find any plushies of them sooooooo whats a crocheter to do?! Make one up! Well, I'd better get to work now.
