A Big Dinosaur Roar

Howdy All!

 I've been busy, busy, busy creating all kinds of stuff! Whew! Time to take a break and post some pics. Today I have a really cute crochet set that I whipped up for a girlfriend's brand spankin' new grandson. Her daughter has done the nursery in a dinosaur them so used that for my inspiration as well as idea's I saw on my new obsession: Pinterest! God I can get lost for hours at a time on there!

I made up my own pattern for the hat. I just kind of winged it till it looked the way that I wanted it to. The diaper cover, however, is from a free pattern I found on Pinterest. Here is the LINK. This was a pretty simply pattern to follow and I will definitely use it again. I also made a blanket to wrap the sweet baby in. I just used a basic ripple stitch and was able to finish this in a few nights of watching tv.

I also made a darling card to match the dinosaur theme and I will be sure to post a photo of it tomorrow!

Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by today! I hope to see you again real soon!

Hugs!

Nifty Hats I have been working on

So, for those of you who know me well, know that I have to have several projects going at one time. I have been busy with all kinds of card making and I will eventually get to posting some pics, but I also have been busy crocheting. Just before Christmas I had a couple of my girlfriends ask me if I could crochet some animal hats for their daughters and without hesitation I said, "Sure!" Now, I am a visual learner, so I am not very good at following patterns (though I have been successful on a few occasions), but I can look at something and usually figure it out on my own. So, here are the hats that I created in the colors and characters my girlfriends requested.

 

I actually went on Etsy and did some searches and then took bits and pieces of hats that I liked and came up with my own designs. I didn't write any directions out as I went along, not sure I would be any good at it. At some point I think I might have to figure out how to write a pattern so that I can share with others.

Currently I am working on a baby afghan for a girlfriend's first grandchild who will be arriving in a few weeks. I've got a good start on it and should hopefully be done in a few days. I also have a handful of scarves that I have been working on for the Scarves For Special Olympics project. I've gotta finish those up and get them sent out soon!

Along with all of my crocheting I am preparing for my first Scrapbook Club class which is starting on Jan. 26th. It should be lots of fun! And, again I will make sure to get some photos up soon.
Well, that's about it for now! Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by to say hi!
Be sure to stop back soon!

p.s. All my hats were created using Red Heart Super Saver yarn!
