this is just one of the gifts to make before christmas. baby james's blanket is now done and on to a few hats. the blanket was made with the crazy stitch.

A simple list of things to make

Coming up soon:

• Another baby ripple afghan for Baby James (chocolate & blue or green idky)
• Cool camo ear flap hat for my nef. Benjamin (camo and black)
• Crazy stich shawl for my mom <3>
• Camo army afghan for my friend about to be shipped out to Korea :( (jungle camo and black)

and I believe that's it for now.

cambria's coffee covered strawberry blanket

It's almost done! About one more day to go on this perty little blanket for my baby girl :)

It's made with coffee and a verity of pinks. It reminds me of chocolate covered strawberries but coffee instead lol. It has turned out so good I can't belive it! And it's my very first ripple and I must say that i have ripple fever now.

UPDATE: little lady bug costume

Just making a quick update on the lady bug costume. Here is my little lady bug showing off the costume except shes not wearing the black pants and shirt. Also if you make the hat and you have a sensitive baby use soft yarn I used red heart and she doesn't like the feel of it :( so I'm remaking the hat in a different yarn that she will be able to tolerate better.

easy pipe cleaner spider webs

Made these cute spider webs and spiders on a whim with the hubby and kidos.

• You take 3 to 4 pipe cleaners and make the "arms" of the web and starting at the center you wrap the yarn around each arm alternating going under and over each arm.


• Then you tie off and make the spider. Using 2 pipe cleaners make 4 big legs by cutting them in half.


• Then tie them together by wraping another pipe cleaner around the center of the 4 legs.


• You should now have 8 little legs and the body. attach and hang up :)

coffee covered strawberries afghan

This is a Granny Square afghan that I made my four year old. Its a basic granny square made with Red Heart Super Saver yarn in coffee and petal pink. Perfect size for her toddler bed. Now im working on a "strawberry coffee fields" ripple afghan for her baby sister to match hers :) pictures of that soon.
