cute little top hat


So I found this cute little hat on a friends blog a few days back and just had to make it. Unfortunately the pattern was untested so I decided I couldn't pass it up and started working on it. That pattern called for and "I" sized hook and #4 worsted weight yarn. After a whole night of working on it and working out the bugs I decided to turn in for the night by that time it was 11:30! Well I just finished it this morning and I had to unravel it like 3 more times but here it is. And my beautiful big girl Zoie is modeling it for me though it's to big for her. This pattern can be made smaller by using a smaller hook or deleting a row or two on the top. That's why I love it! I can now make a matching hat for her and my 9 month old baby girl, we will be a couple of Madd Hatters lol :) yes I'm a dork but ya gotta love it. After the blog fixes the pattern I'll post a link or you can contact me and I'll email it to you.

my first sweater


So I got this email with a surprise sweater pattern in it and decided I would try it out seeing how I have a TON of yarn and no thoughts on what to make.... so here it is my very first sweater it only took me a day with the daily hustle and bustle of being a stay at home mom. I made it big for my baby's Xmas's present though I believe she'll be able to wear it 2 Xmas's in a row lol. I used a "G" sized hook and it came out bigger than expected but oh well :) I have enough yarn left to make a super cute hat to match it so that picture will come soon. But here is the sweater. and I really need a new couch! lol

i just had the greatest idea!

i just had a thought...for Christmas ordaments and a arrangement of other hanging thing-a-ma-gigs i could use a soft easy to bend metal wire like yarn to "crochet" do-dads. ill post a picture next week after i get me some wire and test my awesome idea out. crossing my fingers and hoping its not an epic "FAIL" lol

doggie tie




This is another collar cover of a tie I made with a "T" for TALA. And of course she loves to prance around all dolled up.

rainbow collar cover bandana


A quick easy way to "PIMP" your dog and use up old yarn you have nothing better to do with :)
A simple collar cover and not as hot and annoying to your dog. Best for the dogs that hate wearing things. TALA my model loves to dress up so she was very happy to wear and model her new bandana.

Doggie bow tie



Made this cute little bow for a friend's doggie. The bow is modled by my little poochie TALA. It's a pattern combo of a collar cover and a hair bow. Best part is you can make this in a TON of colors!

sunshine yellow baby set

This is a set that I've made to see if I could sale on eBay. It will be up until I sell it and when I do I'll be making 3 more sets, a pink one, a blue one, and a green one. I've named this one my "sunshine yellow set". Has booties, a hat, bib, and receiving sized blanket.
