But, I am back and want to show off my gift I got from Christina for our Swap Swap Gals "Purse" Swap for April. Oh by the way Christina you did great on the lining of the purses great job.:)

I see everyone was looking Nellie tank top I got started on Nesa's awhile ago but, due to me beening so busy these days I haven't yet to finish it but, I am still working toward trying to finish it. Don't know about this weekend because she will be gone this weekend and I will need her to keep trying it on to see how it fits. I have to work more with Nesa when it comes to me sewing or crocheting her tops due to her belly being so big I have to try to not make it tight on her belly so far so good.

Here go what I have so far. I make it in a long piece and crochet it together on both ends for the back. I have to increase most of the rows that goes around her belly. I can't do to much open stitches Nesa don't like to show off her belly well her scar so I understand that. but, trying to make it look nice as much as I can.

This part will be in the back.


Ok now on with my inspiring projects. I got a couple of books in the mail from ummmm dang somewhere. It when you feel out that little postcard by picking things you like but, you only have to pay a small amount after you get your product. Well I order me 4 books.

This is one of my books.

This book is totally inspiring me. But, one thing is that most of the things I come across are things I would love to make for Nesa and Nellie. But, all those things are adult patterns so I guess I may have to work with the sizing to get it to be more for smaller girls.

But, here go a couple that inspire me.

On A WIP Roll

This weekend has been hecked so I wasn't able to get a lot done as I thought I would. I did get some crocheting done. I can't tell you how much I have missed making things. I like the finish projects and like how calm and relaxing crocheting does. I was able to finish that girlie baby blanket that has the crochet edging going around it. It came out so pretty love the outcome to it. I brought 2 yards of the fabric 1 yard on each side with the crochet edging sandwich right between the fabric. I picked a thinner fabric so it's more of a receiving blanket then a blanket since it will be getting warmer outside dont want anything to thick when summer comes. On 2 sizes of the blanket I have pink, green then on the other 2 sides I have green, pink. The stitches is small shell stitches that worked up quickly. I measured the sides by chaining and using the chain row to measure how many stitches I needed. Used I - hook Yarn Caron Simply Soft limelight and soft pink. If you look at the...

I've been up to no good lol.... Did a shrug and slacks with no pattern unless you count me tracing my old slacks as a mock pattern...also whipped up a no sew purse out of one yard fabric, yes NO SEW... Then I moved on to cutting out and fitting another outfit...haven't been following patterns much I'm used to doing it as I see it then do it, but wanted to give this a try.. It's by McCall's I don't remember the number but I'll make sure to include all that once I finish it completely... Today was my Sew Sunday....so after making sure all is alright with the fitting I pinned it and hoping to sew it tomorrow or Tuesday after work...then I'm in to the pants..the pattern asks for capris but I want to do pants instead... I've been missing because life got so busy...been crocheting running my business and all...taking care of kids... When I wasn't taking care of kids and household, running my businesses I was writing...now published autho...

WOW it's been awhile since I logged on. I've been so busy everyone. Nesa was in the hospital for the whole month of January due to rejection but, she is doing better now. To make a long story short she is back in school. She is more happy YAY. We home more now then before. I've been working and school been taking up a lot of my time. Don't get in much crocheting. But, I have been teaching 3rd graders up to the 5th graders how to crochet at my kids after school program. One day back in January I got a call from the person that runs the afterschool program asking me questions about crocheting and all. He found out about me though Nesa and Nellie's teachers because in the pass I've been them things and they remember me. So I got a job from word by mouth. YAY lol. The girls are getting the hang of it. Well some of the girls. Oh before I started teaching the girls at the school. I went ahead and taught Nesa first. So now my baby is 7 years old and not how to chain an...
