Pompom Hat

I got a request from my godson to make a striped red/black/white hat with a pompom on top and on the side braids.


It took me about a week to complete because of this


I really don't change colors so often because of the weaving that has to be done afterward.  I even decided on a double crochet instead of a single crochet so it would be about 1/2 the rows to switch.  But the outcome was worth it (even though I was injured--ha ha ha).


My mannequin also got a "head" and some hair--ha ha ha.

First Christmas Card of the Season


Supply List: 
White Pen-Gelly Roll
Background Blue/snowflakes-Love Elsie Noel recipe book

All these products have been sitting in my stash for a while, so they are hard to find online--I had to substitude the kraft paper brand.

Now I have to figure out if I am going to try to sell it or send it to someone.

Happy Birthday to my BESTIES!!

It took me years to find, but I am very lucky to have found the best friends a girl could have.  They accept my dorkiness--ha ha ha.  I find it kinda cool that they even share the same birthday.

Happy Birthday Liz and Meredith!!! 

Liz & I at a Wedding.

Meredith & I at a SuperBowl Party.

Here Liz & I are at the Renegade Fair this past summer having fun!


Here Meredith & I are with our Husbands on our First Date :D

Getting Cozy with Coffee

I know I have mentioned it before, but I am going to say it again.  Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn is my favorite!!

My latest creation is this Coffee Cup Cozy.


It looks a little big on this "Tall" cup, but I know I usually have a "Grande" or "Venti". 

Unfortunately, it kinda clashes with the Red Holiday cups.


I have had a few attempts at crocheting a coffee cozy for sometime.  Here is a failed attempt

Not only was the flower way too big but the sleeve was too big as well. 

mmmm.....Starbucks "season" :D
