I cannot wait for Fall!

I have been so miserable in this mid-90 degree weather and already want the crisp, chill nip of fall. I wanted it to be fall back in May, haha... 

So in light of my ansty summer-itis, I decided to try out a few new scarf patterns! I loved how they turned out and cannot wait to get myself some cute boots to wear with them! What do you think?

This is a braided crochet pattern. I think it's so unique!
I sell this one for $25. Message me if you'd like to order one!

I love how the pattern compliments the color!
I sell this one for $30. Message me if you'd like one!

I'm baaaaaaaaack!

It has been one CRAZY BUSY summer, but I am back! 

I have missed crocheting so much and haven't had much time to work on any projects. I did happen to find the time back in July to make a good friend a college afghan for his new journey at BYU this year. Good luck, Tyler!

This was an enormous afghan! Approximately, it measures 6 1/2 feet x 5 feet!

If you haven't already, I greatly recommend getting a quilt ladder! I received mine last week, and I absolutely love it! The company is Fransico Woodworks and Primitive, found on eBay. They come in several choices of color at VERY excellent prices (free shipping!) I'm getting another one that will be a bit bigger, which will motivate me to keep making a lot more afghans!

Getting ready to make a lot more afghans to fill the rungs!

Because everyone needs a scrap blanket...

I've always wanted to have something "homey" in our apartment, and what better than a scrap blanket! My tub-o-yarn was overflowing with partial balls of various colors of yarn, and I thought it would be fun to use them all! This is what turned out!

I'm an auntie again!

 My big sister, Courtney, and her Fijian husband, Billy, just welcomed their baby, Viliame, into the world last week! He looks so precious and so sweet, that I had a make a couple things for him! I can't wait to meet him and visit with Courtney's other 2 children as well!

 

Billy wasted no time putting his graphic design degree to use! 

A sachet using Court's fav color :o)

Grumpy old bear... but a loving grumpy old bear :o)

For the love of crafting...

Just can't help but feel a proud accomplishment when I make gifts and other things for people! I love the reaction on people's faces, which is why I do what I do!

Brady and Evan

So, my older brother, Brady, and his wife and son, Dreidy and Evan, went to visit my mom, who still lives back in Minnesota, where I grew up. He had seen the beard hat that I made for Chuck, and wanted some for him and Evan to have for the cold weather- no problem! I whipped together a beanie and two beards for each of them, and because I couldn't resist, I made an Angry Birds hat for Evan as well!
The picture is a little blurry, but they turned out quite nice! What do you think?

Cozy Toes

I wanted to think of something to make for my sister, Cammy, for her birthday coming up on the 10th, and I thought of these! I whipped these puppies up in no time! She just moved into a beautiful new home with the main floor being all hard wood, I know she'll love to walk around with her tootsies warm and comfortable. Happy Birthday, Cammy!

The required materials

The finished product! So comfy and so cute!
