Got To Catch Up

Image
Oh I am so tried. Happy Halloween everyone. Been running and running all day and yesterday barely got any sleep yesterday. My daughter Nesa had to see her GI doctor OMG we was there for like 5 hours all these tests they was running was so scaring me out my mind. Her doctor is concern about her liver it is getting bigger oh for those that don't know my daughter Nesa has a liver diease called Biliary Atresia A diease she was born with and will always have for the rest of her life. The link will tell you more about BA just me thinking about explaining it will make me get way to emotionally. But, well ok her GI doctor just wanted to run some liver screen test take blood get a ultra sound everything you name it he was doing. Now he want to set up another liver biopsy in a couple of weeks just to take a sample of her liver and look at it under the microscope. So I will hear from him about when that will take place. Spent so much time there that after we left I decided to go to this use...

Hey Blogger Friends

Well it's Monday weekend is over. I have alot to do today at my daughters school so wanted to post on my blog before I leave because I know I wont be able to get back online probably into tomorrow. So here goes. I did my daughter Nesa a shrug I sewn it love the fabric I found at Walmart for 1 dollar a yard so I got 4 yards. After finishing up her shrug I felt it was to plain need some jazz to it. So being the crocheter I am I had to do some crochet edging on it. Dont mind her Winnie the Pooh grown I had her try this on last night when it was time for bedtime but, you all get the picture. I also have plans to use the rest of the fabric to make a matching shirt to go under her shrug with some crochet edging at the end of her shirt. Update on that later in the week. But, until then more shrug pictures, I use yarn by No Boundaries love that yarn so soft. Close up. Ok I had a doctors appointment so while sitting in the doctors office and in the WIC office I had to take my yarn and hook ...

Ok my girls gone this weekend so it has given me time to do some crocheting last night and this morning couldn't sleep because I was so much into my crocheting and into that move called The Reaping.

My First Cross Stitch Pattern Used As Crocheting

Image
Well gave it my all and have to say I like it. Been working on this on and off for 2 days would have been down sooner but, had some sewing to do for some friends but, here is my progress. Haven't yet decided if it will be the center piece of a blanket or a pillow but, wanted to show off what I have so far. Have to say it turned out ok. I like following grid lines to come up with a nice crochet center piece. I liked it so much that I came up with my own design to do a Sudoku blanket. I know I know that would take some time lots of time but, I want to give it a shot and go for it to see how it comes out. I have plan to get start on it tomorrow at least start it off.:) But, this is the design I followed: Sorry I took a picture of the paper upside down but, you all get the picture of what I did. I also didn't do so well with the red in the center but, I gave it my all and I like how it turned out. I have many more designs I like to do one day but, so you have it. What do you all th...

My Very First Attempt

Image
Ok wanted to try something I haven't never tried when it comes to my crocheting so I went ahead and got started on trying to crochet letters. I gave it my best learning from my mistakes. So here is my first finished project with crocheting with letters. My daughter Nesa a pillow that says Nesa My Big Girl. Now I just mainly wrote out the words on a grid line paper and came up with this after crocheting. I was just happy that I got it ok. I also went back using yarn and yarn knead to go over the outline of the word Nesa I realize I shouldn't have done that because it took away from the crochet part of it so I didn't finish with the other words. I know next time not to do that but, shoot this will be my girls pillow anyway. I always do things for them as my first try at things. I sewn white fabric on the back and then I crochet around the edge of the pillow with fun fur red yarn by Lion Brand to give it more design like to it.:) So gave it another try but, this time I found a...
