Pin Cushion Chair

This little chair is made from a tuna can and some stuffing -- it is a pin cushion but also works nicely as a Barbie chair. This pattern was giving to me by an aunt when I was still in high school( trust me several years ago ) It is fun to see what one can create with an empty can and some yarn.

Here it is my first boot cuff ---this pair you wrap around your leg and button it to the desired size you want...no longer puzzled on the process of boot cuffs-- sometimes you just have to face your  fears and figure it out

Boot Cuffs

I have been looking at boot cuff patterns and always  been stumped on how to gauge how big or small to make them. After we are all different sizes -- my goal today is to figure out how to make it work... my plan is to not make is in a circle but to crochet it in a straight piece and then attach buttons so one can adjust the size to their own leg--stay tuned

Scarf completed

Yesterday I blogged about a pattern I found online of a scarf I wanted to make it was an easy process and it makes a really pretty scarf you and button close to your neck or loosely drape around your neck. The pattern -"Basic Girl " Button Up Scarf by Jennifer Goble of Knot Again Crochet-- There are plenty of easy patterns you can find for free and can dress up a jacket or a shirt...

New Scarf Pattern

There are so many great places to get free patterns. I like to go to Ravelry.com -- They have many crocheting and knitting patterns some are free and others are usually really reasonable. I am a sucker for a freebie this is where I often go searching for new patterns and idea. Today I am starting one called "Basic Girl" Button Up scarf-the pattern is created by Jennifer Goble of Knot Again Crochet.
 It is suppose to be made of chunky yarn but I am doing it in  worsted medium ply yarn in a sage green.
As always make sure the author of a pattern gives permission to use their patterns and if you plan to sell them-give credit to the author..

New Year Start

Well it has been awhile -- I'm healing nicely from knee surgery that whole process has given me time to think about what I would like this year to look like. I think for all of us when a  new year starts we all reflect on the things you are proud of and the things you would like to see different.
During my healing time that is what I did I sat and thought about how I would like to take my business to the next step to go from Hobby to Business.... in the next weeks,months that is what my game plan is -- I appreciate all of you that have supported me along the way--thanks

some winter projects

Now that my  holiday crocheting is winding down-time to think about new projects-- these two blankets look interesting
