Just Another Friday

I didn't do much crocheting this weekend like I thought I was going to do but, I did get some things done.

But, first let me point out that I did a blog review over at Andrea's blog Knits and Knots. So if you all like to check it out you totally can do so HERE


Now time for me to go to my show and tell. Have a couple of things to show.
My first show and tell is my mom's fun fur purse. She fell in love with those fun fur purses I did to sell in the boutique so I whipped my mom up one for herself.
She wanted a purse where it can have a long strap that can go around her head and arm.

See aint it so pretty. Nellie totally loves it she didn't want to take it off. It's not hot enough for her to wear this yet but, shoot who says, I can't get all her summer clothes crocheted or sewn up now.

I want her to wear this with a little blue jean skirt. I think it would look nice with a blue jean skirt.


I also started on a purse but, haven't finished it yet. I am just getting started on something different then want I have done before.

I know by looking at this you wont know that this is a start of a purse so after I am done you all will be amazed at how it turns out lol.

Also back to a little sewing.

There you have it yet another Friday. So everyone have a great weekend take care of yourselves and family.:)

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...

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...
