Christmas Hat

I like this one too. I started this one before I talked to brother Willis so Its not twisted but I started this one and didn't finish it and then forgot about it. So it has been a while.

and I just forgot that my camera died so I cant even take a pic of it so this is a to be continued...


ok so here is the pic I finally got to go to the store and buy batteries.

Candy cane hat


Okay so I just thought of doing stripes up and down instead of around the hat. So this is what it looks like.

And now that I was talking to Bro Willis I think I want to try to make it really look like a candy cane and get the stripes to rotate. So that is my next project.

Jason makes me think all the time!

Um why does it always take me so long?

Ok so I haven't worked on my quilted wall hanging in about a month. Just because I kinda get bored and the part I have to do is by hand right now. I have to use a decorative stitch to sew the hearts on. but I did one and then looked at it from a far. And none of the stitches were even or parallel. So I had to take it out and do it over. So I get kinda iffy when I think of sewing the rest on. but I think I need to soon so I can have it finished before its been a year. Like with my table runner.

Jason makes me think all the time!

Ok so he has been making hats and making ones I didn't even think of. And so he asks me what I do with them. I tell him, N.I.C.U. and he says don't you think you should make some for the homeless people around town and keep them in your car then you can give them a hat when you see them.
Hmmm... I guess I could do that.
Ya then when you see them the next time, you could see them wearing your hat and know that they are warmer because of you.
Gee now I take the guys to school today and see two homeless guys and think Hmmm... I should have made some because now I feel bad.
SO I am going to make at least two this weekend so I can have them on hand next time!

Baby Hats

Well I finally got my blue loom back from one of the girls that borrowed it in May. I went and got it on Nov. 24 th. And since then I have made 26 baby hats to donate to the N.I.C.U. I did notice recently though that all except 2 were girl colors so I have started to do more boys colors. Then Jason wanted to make some blankets for a co-worker's wife and preemie twins. So I re-taught him how to crochet and he does it great but he thought it was taking too long so ha wanted to learn how to loom. So I taught him and I asked him how he was doing a while later and he said it was "easy, almost too easy." lol. I laughed I thought I have been telling you its easy and I told you I made so many already and you just now believe me. lol but its fun to do it together. He has already made two adult hats and two baby hats. Great job Jason!

Jason's blanket

Well I have been working on this for a while. Probably a month and it is no where near done. It is hard to do and small stitches which means small progress. But hopefully I can get it done.

Fan Bookmark

This is my own pattern I made it up in my mind and created it all-by-myself. I don't remember when I made it but I do remember I wanted an easy bookmark and was looking on line and couldn't find what I wanted so I started playing around until I made this. hee hee


Chain amount desired for length desired. about 80 to 100.
3 DC in 4th chain from hook. Chain 3, 3DC in the same chain as other DC. Chain 3, slip stitch in the same chain as last. Slip stitch in each chain across to top. Chain 3, 6 DC in the top chain. Chain 3 turn. DC in the same stitch, 2 DC in each stitch across. Chain 3, turn. DC in same stitch, 1 DC in next stitch, 2 DC in next repeat ending with one DC in last stitch. Chain 4, skip next stitch, SC in next stitch, *chain 3 skip next stitch SC in next stitch* repeat from * to * to end. Finish off and weave in ends. Starch slightly for better look.

Crafts!!

Well I started crocheting while we lived in Missouri. Which was 5 years ago. And since I get bored easily I have tried just about everything, from blankets to doilies and blessings dresses, magnets, cute chilies for my mom, trivets, baby hats. Then I got more bored and tried knitting and didn't like it. So I tried sewing and didn't really like it either. So I didn't really do crafts for a while. Then I tried scrap booking and still didn't really like it. So I started looming and have been doing it for about 2 years.
And again I get bored easily so I have tried a lot of looming projects. Like socks, blankets, scarves, doll hats, changing colors. I recently have been quilting and have made a table runner and am now making a wall hanging.
So anyway this is a update just as to what I've tried.
