Wow it's been really busy lately

Well it's been a crazy few months at my house so I haven't been blogging much (shame on me!). I did manage to get some new work done and sold for the holidays so that at least is something, right? I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family and I hope you did as well! Here are a few pictures of what I've been up to, I hope you enjoy them :)


As always,
HUGZ to everyone!

KUFI HAT  Great for chemo patients so they can add flowers or clips to the open spaces (free pattern coming) 

Water Bottle Covers

I made this water bottle holder for my daughter as per her request complete with fun fur and pink handle :)

This is a cozy I made for my 64 oz water bottle

Crochet Cat Ears and wrist warmers

Okay so I looked and looked and looked online for a crochet pattern for cat ears. Yep I couldn't find even one pattern! Oh the crime, how can there not be one freaken pattern out there. So I gave up and just created my own pattern. If you like the ears, let me know and I will share the ultra easy pattern with you. The again, maybe because they are so easy that's why there wasn't a pattern? One daughter request down!

This request was much easier to fulfill since there was a pattern online that I was able to use and just teak a bit. These are wrist warmers for my 7 year old.

Fingerless Gloves/Wrist Warmers

So my daughter wanted a hat just like her big sister but with a pink flower and so it was done...lol...but alas she decided she needed some fingerless gloves to go along with it....oh and add fun fur on the ends too please! Needless to say she was happy with her new accessories.

Crochet Hat with Brim

So happy Friday and what a fun Friday it's been. I was asked by a friend if I could duplicate a hat that she loves. The problem is the hat is a from the store Knit creation and yea I don't knit. Okay so I crawl the internet and finally find this hat pattern but it's in a horrible color and it is with a super saver yarn which isn't the look we want. So I changed to a good color and a plush yarn and this was the creation that came out. I love it, she loves it and we are all happy. Now my kiddos want me to make them one.

Hugz,

Turn of the Century hooks

So....6 years ago....yes 6 long years ago I came across this website (Turn of the Century) and they have the most beautiful crochet hooks I ever saw! I showed my husband and said "gee, I would sure love these" well time goes by as it usually does. When I find myself sitting down to cake for my birthday in January and my gift......it was a box of the hooks! OMG I almost fell out of the chair. I don't know how he remembered the hooks or the site but alas there they were in all their glory. I couldn't wait to sit down and create something, anything with them. I was so very excited to get this unexpected gift. I've had the hooks now for a little over a two weeks and let me tell you how spectacular they are!!!!!!!

Til next time,

Hugz!!!!

Water bottle holders

So I was at a birthday party with my water bottle as always and one of the parents there asked me where I bought my holder. She was tired of constantly putting napkins or paper towels around her water bottles to keep them from making her hands wet or cold. I told her that I made mine since my daughter had asked for a holder and I ended up liking the product. 10 minutes later she slips me money and says she can be my first customer if I would make her 3 of them. I was totally shocked! I made the holders and was inspired to improve the pattern. I have since improved the pattern and will be making a ton of them to sell at a local booth (wish me luck!).

Til next time,

Hugz to all!
