Michigan

So it absolutely amazes me that less then 2 weeks ago it was sunny and 50 degrees, and all the snow was gone. And now it has been in the single digits to high teens all this week and we now have over a foot of snow on the ground!

So even though it is going to be quite crappy to drive in today, it sure is beautiful!!

Star Wars horoscope

Star Wars Horoscope for Pisces

A typical Pisces, you have your head in the clouds. You're self-sacrificing and a bit too passive to stand up to the dark side. You become fairly pessimistic when put under pressure. You are a chameleon - wanting to change your scenery on occasion. Star wars character you are most like: Lando

What Is Your Star Wars Horoscope?

Not exactly true, the first line is, but I think I stand out in a crowd! and I am much cuter the Lando!

Hoodie

I made a hoodie!!!!! I am not only a crochet addict, I also know how to sew!!! Except I really need to get a better chair for my machine, the dining room chairs really suck to sit in for too long. I will post the tute I followed (kinda) when crafters is back up from maintenance. The pic is kinda dark, I used a purpleish/grey camo and black.

don't you just love the camera in the face mirror pics!!!! It is the only way I could get a pic that looked half-way decent. I will try to get better pics up soon.

edit: Here is the link to the tute from Craftster.

Been a while

Oops I have been neglecting my blog!!!! I have been busy trying to get toys done for the many children in my life for Christmas presents. I think I am all done, I guess I will find out on Saturday, that is my last holiday party. I need to takes more pics of my latest projects, hopefully I will do that soon.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and Have a wonderful New Year.

It's SUPERMAN!!!! I made this for one of my best friends. He LOVES Superman. I took this pattern and just changed it from a girl to boy, and substituted colors as needed. I made the cap and chest shield on my sewing machine. He was so much fun to make, and he turned out so cute, that I want to keep him! I will have to make another one! Enjoy!

My recent projects

So I am still off of work, but have been using my time to get a few projects done. First I worked up this cute bag for a Christmas present for my Aunt. I got the pattern from one of the ladies at Crochetville. It is called Waves of Color Tote. It worked up super quick and turned out great!

This is a close up to try to better show the colors. My camera did not do a good job of capturing the colors very well.


And I have joined the Fat Bottom Bag craze!! This is a pattern from Stitch 'N Bitch: Happy Hooker.
First one: Pink camo:

lining:


Second one is Grey and pink variegated:

I got to break in my bamboo hook on the grey/pink one. I used a bigger hook, and added rows. I took a pic to show the size difference between the two. The camo one is done as the pattern stated.


That is it for right now, I am sure I will have more to post soon!
