I'm still here!

I know its been a long time since i posted but boy have I've been busy. Not much with crochet Im afraid but with the life of being a working mom. I made a few things here and there and will be posting them as soon as I get some pictures sorted of everything. Since the last post Ive gotten a full time job that wears me out, and a newly potty trained 2yr old (YAY NO MORE DIAPERS) and a puppy. We named him Einstein <3 Zoie is about to complete her 1st year of school with high grade (YAY ZOIE) but it has been a rough ride with her ADHD and a very crappy school but we did it. Also she has started girl scouts and we both enjoy it. All in all everything has been good. Just letting everyone know im still here making stuff just not posting them...yet. Will have some great pictures and fun stuff soon its just going to take some time.

love, me

so its been a while...

sorry I've been MIA the last few months I've been working alot. started a full time job, and getting ready to open up a temporary to possible long term crochet web site for the stuff i make :) any ways just thought I'd stop by and say hi. HI! more news soon :)

so i have an obsession...

i love pit bulls and I'm big on advocating for them. I don't care about their supossed "bad rap" they ARE good dogs and I LOVE them. So I was asked by one of my groups to take the challenge of sharing this video of pit bulls being "adora-bull" I hope you enjoy it and take the time to share it as well.

Care A Lot afghan- finished

So here it is all done! Its been done for months now but the baby shower was last week and I figured it was time to post the finished picture. the boarder was done with pomp-a-doodle yarn. The baby girl's name has been chosen its Ariel and i think she will love this blanket! Her mother sure did :)

"cool" pot holder

So we just moved in to a new place and I actually can bake now that I have an oven! yay me :) BUT now that I can bake I found myself in quite a problem... no way to take stuff out of the oven!So now I'm running through all my lists of sites trying to find something that goes with my style and here it is... a Knotted Circles pot holder/ hot pad yay for me :)

Care-a-lot baby afghan

Here is the almost done care-a-lot afghan made for my friend who's having a baby girl. This amazingly was my first attempt at a crochet pattern that used a graph. All that is left is embroidered outlines and a edging. Might put a backing on it... not sure yet we will see :)

It's Finally Done!

So as the title states I'm finally done with this baby blanket! I was hoping that it would be bigger but it took so long to do each square (3-5 hours) that by the time I got to 6 squares I was beyond being done! As I was finishing this we got news that my brother in law was having a another girl and I decided that instead of selling this (after news of the baby it was intended for was miscarried) I would pass it to another baby that could enjoy it. I still have to block it as a few of the squares were stretched thanks to a little girl of mine lol. And as for the friend that has lost her baby she's getting married at the end of April and I'll be sending her and her man a afghan to snuggle under and hopefully it will cheer them up :)
