Crochet bracelets

I wanted to try my hand at making some croched bracelets. I think they turned out cute and were pretty easy to make.

And another!


And all three I made :)

Even more granny stripe

So when I started making my granny stripe blanket, my hubby asked what I was making. I was still on the first color I used, the lime green.  I said I was making a blanket. He said what kind of blanket am I making, a blanket for a snake. Ya funny.  NOT!!! There are no snakes allowed, so NO not a snake blanket.

Now that it is a little larger he said he thinks it defiantly isn't for a snake :) Mr. Funny Pants.
Dang straight!!! But it still & probably always will be called "The snake blanket".

Crochet granny stripe

While I am working on my scrappy granny square blanket I decided to start another scrappy blanket. I got the pattern for it over at Attic 24. The pattern is for the granny stripe. I love the look of  it. Here is what I have done so far :)


The I added a few more rows.

 
Then I folded it in half to take the pic!!

Arugula Baby :)

I am able to still harvest some arugula from my garden! It's mid December, so that is so awesome. I truly love my square foot gardens!!!



And some cilantro too!!!



And Miss Daisy was in there too :)

I loved the 80's, it was a good time :)

Crochet blanket

 I started this blanked years ago. It has been sitting in my tote with all my yarns. So I took it out a few weeks ago and started adding some more rounds to it.

While I have been working on it a thought came to me. I really am a seasonal crocher. I usually start wanting to work on something in October/ November when the weather starts getting colder.

Here is the big granny square I am working on.

Co worker gifts 2012

It's that time of year, to make something fun for hubby to give his work buds for Christmas. I found a  cute candy sleigh here  and decided to make some.
Here is what I did.

You need some Kit Kats

 
A bag of  small mixed candy bars.

 
Another bag of mixed chocolates. This bag only had a few (maybe 5) chocolate santas. So you will need to get a bag of chocolate santas. And a few boxes of candy canes too.



Take a kit kat.


Get one of the small candy bars and glue it to the front of the kit kat, like a car bumper.

 
Next glue a small candy bar behind the bumper candy bar. Leave a little space to glue in santa next, between the two.

 
After that glue the other chocolates on the back of the sleigh, behind santa.


Then glue on the candy canes.

 
I glued mine close to the edge, it seemed to make it sturdy.

Marcie's hat :)

I have a darling neice and I have been wanting to make her something. I have been seeing lots of those cute hats around. I found a free online pattern (it's not free now, was free last year) and made her a teddy bear hat. Since she is "in love with" Donny Osmond I thought I would make it purple!!! Here it is.
