Guess I should update this or delete it >:| facebook has taken over my blog

Afghan and baby set

I finished them both plus did another baby hat like the one in the picture, minus the little topper. :) First the Afghan, I added the fringe tonight and it's around 5ft long and 3 1/2 feet wide. It is for my girl friend's DD who just turned 8. :)

The yarn is red heart kids, #2358 lt purple, #2846 cruise blue, and # 2931 Playful

This baby set was done using the Baby it's cold outside pattern. I added one extra button and did the crochet buttons they have on the pattern site. I made the hat with my own pattern, just HDC all around and did a little curly for the top. :)

Baby sweater was done using Vanna's Choice #172 kelly green as the primary and #171 Fern as the accent. Hat is done with the same 2 colors only the Fern is the primary. :) This was stash yarn and I'm now going to use some green to make a scarf or two!

Thanks for looking, I feel so good to have it finished!

Little Cowgirl

My step daughter came out for a visit and saw these in a magazine I have. She asked for a pair for her best friend who is having a little girl, how could I refuse?

Hats for the Hospital

I found out that our local hospital likes to send the babies home with a hand made hat. So during the Olympics I made it my challenge to do as many hats as I could for them! Here are the pictures:

It's been a while

I really need to update this blog more often and show off my projects! Here's to posting more. :)

cute but too big

I guess I'm not around babies enough anymore. I made this sweet wrap baby sweater and it's WAY too big for even a 3 month, more like 9-12 months! lol Oh well, at least I know the pattern now and can make the smaller size for my cousin to give to a fellow resident.

One more project to add to my ongoing list of things to do!

Recycle!

I saved a large oatmeal container to use to store my knitting needles. I used a hot glue gun and some yarn to cover up the outside. It really makes a pretty display for all my different size needles! Have to find something to do when we are snowed in. ;-)

More snow!

I can't believe all the snow here in TX! Who would have thunk it?
We even got a snowman made!

Ice storm continued

It's getting worse out there. I hope my FIL heads home before he cannot make it!

Ice storm 07!

We are getting an ice storm out here in TX. I've included some pictures of my Jeep:















and my DD's bike:

Latest works

I'm on the baby blanket kick again. Actually it just seems like many people I know are expecting babies soon! Here are pictures of some of my latest works :

The blue blanket is a round ripple pattern. It worked up very quickly and I just love how it came out. It is for my high school band director and his wife who are expecting a little boy. I plan on making a matching hat and booties for them also. I got the pattern from here: http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/angelcrafts/patterns/roundripple.html

The second is a granny square afghan that I did up in a weekend. I have a bunch of yarn and this was a great way to use up some of it. The same applies to the blue afghan, it was all yarn from my stash and DH is happy I'm going through some of it. :)
