Sassy Stripes Tops and Happy Birthday Sierra

2010-01-20T15:03:00.005-05:00

Okay my oldest god daughter Sierra turned 9 yesterday and I was able to get these tops done in time. They are called Sassy Stripe and the pattern is from a book called Topsy Turvy. The person who created this pattern is named Jennifer Cirka. I wasn't able to get my god sons' hoodie done I just need to do the hood. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Lavender, Light and Dark Orchid, Baby Pink, Light Raspberry and Magenta and a H hook.

Aren't these tops cute? The hats in the pic are from Charlene and they are called Easy Breezy Hats and you can find it in her etsy shop if I'm not mistaken. The purple hat was too small and the pink hat was just right.

Here is the birthday girl Sierra in her top.

Here is my youngest god daughter Lucy in her top.

Here they are showing the back of their tops.

Ahw now they're giving hugs. That's my god son in the background.

Baby Set for School Counselor

2009-12-13T21:30:00.002-05:00

I made this dress set for my god kid's 16 yr old sister school counselor. She is due in feb and of course it's a girl. When she got the set she loved it and promised to keep in otuch with me when she wants something else for her baby.

The little shoes I got from a pattern on etsy called Double Strap Booties. They come in all sizes from newborn to 12 months I think.

I just like this pic better b/c the colors show up better then the other pics.

Here are the little booties I made to go with the set I made. Aren't they the cutest?

Bag I made for my mini laptop

2009-12-13T20:34:00.002-05:00

Here is a mini laptop bag I made for my mini laptop lol. I no longer have the mini laptop, I have a regular 15 inch screen laptop, but I just wanted to show off my bag I made for it.

Here it is opened to show the big striped pocket.

Here is the pocket on the inside of the bag. It's a cute little pocket.

Here is the mini I used to have inside the mini bag.

Alyssa and Ashlynn

2009-07-22T23:14:00.003-04:00

Okay Alyssa is my exs' neice. His mom asked me to make her a outfit for the 4th of July. She saw the one I made my youngest god daughter and wanted it to look just like that so I recreated it for a 1 year old and this is what I got.
Here is the skirt with the shorts up under it.
This is another dress I made for Alyssa. This is called the Bella Flora and the pattern is on etsy by Scrap with Nikki. This is a size 12 months. As you can see I ran out of the yellow I was using when it came to making the top part of the dress but they said it was fine.
This is the set I made for a good friend of mine. She got her first grand daughter in early June and her name is Ashlynne. The dress is from Crotiques called 'Girl's Sleeper Dress' I have made so many of these dresses so far that it is so easy. They loved this set.
The blanket is actually called 'Little Boy Blue 8 Point Round Ripple' say that five times fast lol. I made so many of these blankets. Each of my god kids has one of these.

I can't believe I didn't post my godson's blanket

2008-11-02T20:50:00.002-05:00

Here is my god sons' blanket I made him for our b-day yes our b-days are on the same day lol. This is scrap greens as you can see it measures 61 or 63 inches from ponit to point.

Here is the little man sitting next to his blanket .

Here he is sitting on one of the points to show how big it s. He was making a face at his mom in this one.

Once again he wanted to show how big his blanket is by laying down on it.

Finally he decided he wanted to be a green blanket ghost lol.

For Alyssa

2008-07-27T14:14:00.002-04:00

Okay my boyfriend's nephews girl just had a baby girl this past June, so my b/f's mom has hired me to make outfits for the baby. The first dress started out as a romper but I made it into a dress instead. Here is the link to the pattern for the romper: http://danettesangels.tripod.com/patterns/pattern_newborn_romper.html
This next dress was actually a top. It was buttoned down but I turned it around and sewed the back shut. I got the pattern for this dress here:http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/janet-wolfe/1secgoinghome.html I did the whole pattern for the top then turned it into a dress. This is a onesie I made it was cool to make but kind of tideous and I will make it again. I tried to use the same color buttons that's in the yarn. The pattern for this onesie is here:http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/onesie-robin.html
Alyssa's father is in the military so I made her this outfit for her pics she had taken. The top and panties under the skirt can be found here:http://www.geocities.com/missmarlad/diapershirt.html the link for the diaper cover is in the link as well. As for the skirt I made that up myself with three rows of dc's then I just did v stitches the rest of the way and then added a shell border around the bottom.

Okay of all these outfits the booties are all made from the same pattern called 'Sockies' I got the pattern for them from here:http://www.geocities.com/gossgirl2/sockies.htm so far the outfits were loved by great aunt and Alyssa's mom.

A few other things I've done

2008-04-26T00:17:00.003-04:00

Okay here is a halter top I got to test called the 'Dream Ripple Halter' for a lady named crochetbycharlene well her name is Charlene but that's her crochetville name. This halter is sized 3/4. I used an I hook and Bernat pink camo and a sage color I got from my stash.Here is Lucy showing the back of it, the one thing I love about this halter is there are no buttons in the back.
Here is Lucy showing off the front of it making a silly face, she is such a ham.
Here is the 'Simple Sweet Halter' made for my friend in California it is size 18 months made with a Ihook and Red Heart Baby Econo yarn that I got from a swap.
Here is a dress I made called 'Yellow Ruffles' I got the top part from a dress in the Crochet Today! magazine but the skirt part I designed myself and then I added ruffles at the bottom of it.

Lucy's B-day Round Ripple

2008-04-26T00:05:00.002-04:00

Here is the scrap purples round ripple I made for Lucy for her 5th b-day. It is 60 inches from point to point and 40 rows. I used a I hook and like I said it was made with scrap purple yarns from my stash.
Here is Lucy laying under her ripple she was laying with her legs straight and it still covered her up as well as have room left over at the bottom of her feet lol.
Here she is trying to hold up her ripple but it is too big lol. I told her once she get's bigger and wants me to add to it then I will.
Here is her and her brother(my godson) standing in front of it on the couch.
Finally here she is sitting in front of her ripple to she the size. Notice the crown she has on. I also made that from a pattern I got off of CrochetPatternCentral. The 8 point ripple pattern I got from here: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.js...81474977270508

Isn't this slide show cool?

2008-03-27T02:47:00.001-04:00

What I have been working on

2008-02-09T21:47:00.000-05:00

Okay here is the 'Ocean Waves Ripple" that has been renamed "Gothic Waves Ripple" it's no where near done but it is getting pretty long.
Here is the scrap pinks and yellows 9 point ripple I am working on for my friend's 20 month ols daughter. This is a old pic I have done the row of white you see and I have done 5 rows of yeloow and now I am back on to white since this pic was taken.
Here is the granny square lapghan that my grandmother made before she lost her memory she was able to finish it, but I am going to take out the brown edging row and add more to it. I hope I can find the right brown, tan, and white to make it bigger.
This is the blanket my grandmother started but lost her memory and she couldn't remember how to crochet anymore. She was also a knitter and she could sew as well. I am going to miss my grandmother but I know that where she is she is doing just fine.

Haven't Posted in a while but on a sad note...

2008-02-09T21:33:00.000-05:00

I haven't posted in here in a while but I've been working on a 'Ocean Waves Ripple' which me and my friends have renamed 'Gothic Waves Ripple' b/c I am goth and I am using goth colors. I am also doing a 9 point ripple for my friend's 20 month old daughter I named 'Scrap Pinks and Yellows Ripple'. On a sad note I lost my grandmother aged 75 to Alzhiemer's. She suffered from it for 13 years and now she is no longer in pain and she now has her memory back. I lost her on the 26th of January and we had a lovely funeral on the 2nd of Febuary. We went to get her things from the home she was staying in and she had two crochet blankets she was working on before she completely lost her memory and how to crochet them. One of them is a lapghan granny square and one was a scrap ghan which she didn't get to finish that. The granny square lapghan I am going to take the edging out and add more too it and the scrap ghan I am going to finish that up too. She was a great woman who once held up my hands and told me that I couldn't knit but I can crochet and she was right I can't knit to save my life but I can crochet.

My god daughter's Pink Camo Ponchos

2007-12-09T22:06:00.000-05:00

Here are the two ponchos I've been working on. The top one is for Sierra my 6 yr old god daughter and the bottom one is for Lucy my 4 yr old godaughter.
There is Lucy being a ham in her poncho.
Here is Sierra being a trooper in hers despite having pink eye in her left eye.
As you can see Lucys' poncho is made with Bernat Pink Camo yarn.
Sierra's is made with Red Heart Pink Camo yarn. They are both made with four big granny squares sl st'd together and a shell edging around the bottom and two rows od sc's for the neck edging.

A few things I've been working on

2007-11-06T22:10:00.000-05:00

Here are some gothic outfits I made for my Bratz dolls. I was told that the outfits aren't goth at all but more emo but who cares, I still like them.

This doll was supposed to be a skunk but I couldn't bring myself to finish her once I got to this point. The pattern is called 'Summer in a Skunk Suit' it is by a lady named Owly well that's her SN on Craftster. Here is the link to her etsy shop where I bought this pattern: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5347491 she has some beautiful patterns in her etsy shop go and take a look.
These two little one's are from a pattern I got to test called 'Roly Poly Ninja' I made the boy first but then I had to add his fraternal twin sister. She wanted to show off her ponytails so I let her. The lady I tested this pattern for is called inked79 on Craftster. The guy is Red Heart Camo and the girl is Red Heart pink camo aren't they cute?

Carrie had her baby!!!

2007-11-06T22:05:00.000-05:00

Carrie had her baby on October 20th. She had a little girl of course because of all the baby girl things I made for her. I am waiting to see the pictures she said she would take of her baby in the items I made and I want to know the baby's name.

One more outfit to add to Carries' collection

2007-09-05T18:21:00.000-04:00

Here is one more set to add to the collection for Carrie. I call it the Lemonade Dress but I got the pattern from this link: http://bellabambinaknits.blogspot.com/2007/08/sweater-dress-pattern.html
I opted with the short sleeves instead of long sleeves. There are alot of nice patterns on this blog. This was done in Caron SS in Heather Grey and Soft Yellow. The booties are from a site called Crotiques which I have done quite a few of these as well as dresses off of there. Well I hope she likes this b/c I love the two colors I used for it.

Two outfits and a blanket for Carrie who is a monitor at Bingo and one more outfit on the way

2007-08-29T20:37:00.000-04:00

Here is the first set I did. It is from a site called Crotiques here is the link: http://www.geocities.com/Crotiques/bgs.htm it's called a 'Sleeper Set' this is the actual size which is 0-3 mos. I made one for a 6 mo old, 12 mo old and my god daughters' baby doll which is about 6 mos clothes. This is the first newborn one I've done and it is so tiny and cute. The booties I also got from this site called 'sockies' but I left off the cuff and added a flower on the front.
This set is called 'Blue Pinafore with Ruffles but as you can see it's not blue. i used Bernat Baby yarn which is a fingering yarn and I held one strand pink one strand purple but it all looks purple. The ruffles is two strands pink held together just like on the diaper cover as well. The booties are the same 'sockies' pattern. The link for this dress is here: http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/baby-pinafore.html
Here is dress one next to the 7th Harry Potter book to show how tiny it is.
Here is the second dress next to the 7th book to show size as well.
This is a ripple I did a while ago and was going to give it t my friend in Cali for her baby girl but I'm making her a different blanket. Now the new baby girl thats coming in October can have this ripple. I am working on another outfit for the new baby which should be done soon. The monitors name is Carrie and this will be her first baby. So I can't wait until she gets this stuff, I wish I could be there to see her expression when she get's it.

Here are some pics of my god kid's in thier outfits

2007-08-12T15:30:00.000-04:00

Here is a pic of my godson in his outfit I made him for OUR b-day this was our b-day party this day.
This outfit the top is called 'Summer Breeze Halter' by a lady on Crochetville by the name of crochetbycharlene. The skirt is basically the same pattern as the top but it also has shorts underneath which I got from a blog called 'Momma Wear'. I just loved the way Sierra is posed in this pic so I had to post it.
Here is my 4 yr.old god daughter Lucy striking a silly pose in this pic in her outfit.
This pic is too cute of Bernie and Lucy together so I had to post it. He looks handsome in his sunglasses don't he.
I just love his smile in this pic, he saw me standing at the bottom of the steps and he gave a big smile so I took the pic. I had so much fun and I have so many more pics but I can only post five lol.

I had to redo my god sons' top lol

2007-08-01T12:51:00.001-04:00

Okay from the post under this you can see the original top I made for my godson. Well Sunday when I went to his house and tried it on him, me and his mom looked at him then at each other and busted out laughing. I know bad god mom for laughing but if you could just see the expression on his face and the way the top looked it was funny. The top was too girly. So I asked him to bring me one of his shirts and this is what he gave me:
Then being a good god mom I went home and took apart the first top and used the red top to size and shape the new top I made him and this is what I came up with for his new top:
It is nine rows of dc's, three rows of trc's then two mor rows of dc's, thenI started to decrease for the armholes which is also dc's. Then I did the arm hole trim with dc's and then nect trim is sc's. I asked quite a few people if I could consider this my design even though I kept holding it up to the red top and they said it was okay so I guess it's my design. I like this one better b/c it goes with the shorts better and it looks more manly now.

My Godson is getting an outfit

2007-07-27T01:35:00.000-04:00

Here is the outfit I made for my god son. He will wear it on our b-day coming up next thursday. Yup that's right OUR b-day. He will be 3 and I'll be a year older then what I am now lol. The top I got the pattern from Christinas' site. It's called the Little Girl's Tube Top Pattern here is the link: http://www.christinascrochethaven.com/little_girl1.htm . The only thing I did was the dc's but it's still part of her pattern so I have to give her credit for it. The shorts I got from a lady named grammy2twins and her blog called Momma Wear. The pattern is called Pretty Little Girl shorts. I just didn't add the ruffle on the legs and around the waist seeing as these are for a boy. The yarn is by TLC Essentials and it's called Surf n' Turf. Once our b-day has passed I will post pics of him in it.

Harry Potter Ready Everyone!!!!!

2007-07-11T00:25:00.000-04:00

It stared out as a graph which was made for me by a lady on the 'ville named debspugs. It is 50x50 stitches.
Here is the graph now finished but of course this being my first grapg I did mess up somewhere lol.
Then here I am modeling it after it is done and madein to a tank top. I added five triple crochet shells along the bottom to ruffle it a little.
The wrist warmers were a pattern I got from this link: http://www.webaware.com.au/crochet/hdc_wrist_warmers.htm
Here is the tank and warmers laid out for everyone to see. Now I can't wait for the movie so I can go see it. Not bad for my first graph huh?

Another Outfit I got to test.

2007-06-21T00:33:00.000-04:00

This outfit I got to test is called 'White Rose' and the nice young lady I got to test it for is named well her screen name is lolaness. I am now waiting for the baby I want to give it to to come over my god daughters' house again. She didn't come over last weekend due to them moving but I hope she'll be over this weekend. I'm itching to get pics of her in it at least to make sure I got her size right. Thank you lolaness for letting me test this outfit. The hat I got the pattern free from www.luv2crochet.com under free patterns. It's a mesh hat so even though it's hot she'll still be cool.

Beach Babe shorts I got to test YAY!!!

2007-06-12T20:38:00.000-04:00

I was lucky enough to be able to test these shorts for Etaria. They are called Beach Babe shorts and the pattern is on Crochet Garden. The top pair is size 5 the bottom pair is size four.
Here are my two youngest god daughter's modeling these lovely shorts in which they look cute. Of course my god son had to get in the pic as well lol.
Here are the shorts from behind. I told Sierra who is six but a tiny six that when she wears these shorts do not wear yellow panties b/c you can see them lol. I should've tested the top b/c now I need a top to match. The yarn I used is Bernat Cottontots in Strawberry and Very Berry and a size H hook. This cotton yarn is awesome, I'm glad I was able to test them, thank you Etaria.

I Was RAOK'D!!!!

2007-06-02T00:40:00.001-04:00

Okay I was not expecting a box two days ago, but there was a knock at the door and me and my puppy went to the door. I said who is it and the reply was Fed Ex. Well I wasn't expecting anything from them but I opened the door anyway and the guy handed me this big box. I thanked him and closed the door. Wondering what it was I was excited and so was my puppy Chewie, and as soon as I opened the box he jumped in it and started to dig:
I forgot that his breed Jack Russell Terriers were bred as hunting dogs so of course his first instinct was to dig. I had to pull him out so I could see what I got from my FGM who is in Alabama.
It's hard to see it but the card says: You've been RAOK'D! I was so happy I got 18 skeins of Caron Simply Soft and 7 skeins of Peaches n Cream. I love Caron SS I make alot of my god daughter's things out of it, it's so shiny and soft I love it. I just started crocheting with the Peaches n Cream cotton yarn and I love it so I have to buy more.
Here's a better picture without the card just look at all my yummy yarn I'm drooling just looking at the pics and looking at the yarn in my room*sounding like Homer* Yarn mmmmmmmm lol.
Of course my Chewie couldn't be left out so he had to get in the last pic which once again hewas trying to dig but once he got in there he noticed there was no where to dig so right after this shot he grabbed one of my Peache's n Cream skeins and tried to run with it. He is now 3 mos. old and very active let me tell ya. Thank you so much FGM I love ya lots.

Two patterns I got to test: Pretty in Pink and Bella Flora

2007-05-28T01:30:00.001-04:00

This one is called 'Pretty in Pink' Halter but of course it is in purple. This took harldy any time at all and was a pretty easy pattern to follow.
Here is my youngest god daughter with it on. I don't know why I thought it wouldn't fit her lol I forget how tiny she is.
And here is the back of the halter. I loved making this halter, I may make her more in different colors. Thanks hmcquigg a.k.a. Heidi for letting me test this top.
Here is the second pattern I got to test. It is called 'Bella Flora' and it just so happens that the baby who is getting this dress is named Isabella and her family calles her Bella, what a coincidence lol. This dress is made with Sugar n Cream and this is the first time I ever crocheted anything with cotton yarn. I sewed the middle of the flower on the dress as well as the petals so it won't shrivel after it get's washed. It turned out great and I will be using more cotton yarn in the future.
Here is the back of it with the buttons. Had I made this in pink I would've had pink buttons but I have so much purple yarn and cotton yarn I felt this is a good way to use up this yarn. This was very quick and easy and I hope to test patterns again. Thanks for letting me test this Nikki it was fun and great. I had fun testing both of these patterns.

Lucys' set is done

2007-05-18T18:33:00.000-04:00

Okay here is the full outfit I made for Lucy.
Here it is with the skirt up showing the shorts up underneath it.
And here she is with the outfit on and I love that the skirt is right to her knees.
Now here sheis showing just the skirt( and she has the cutest little belly button lol)
Now here she is showing what the shorts look like while she has the outfit on. The shorts I got the pattern from Michelles' blog, 'Momma Wear'. I just added elastic instead of a drawstring b/c Lucy is one to wait until the last minute to go potty so elastic is much better for her. The Halter top I got the pattern on Crochetville by a wonderful lady named Charlene. The pattern is called Summer Breeze Halter. The skirt is basically the same pattern as the halter so I can't claim it as my own. I am currently working on another outfit for her six year old sister except it will be in purple. They both can't wait until next week b/c I told them they can wear their outfits when I take them to see Shrek 3.

Here is another Baby girl set I done

2007-05-01T19:22:00.000-04:00

This is my second set I've done. This set is going to my friend in Cali for her baby girl Isabella. This is the set from the Crotiques website. The booties is also from the same site and the pattern is called 'Sockies'. Instead of the cuffs I did a shell edging. The headband is a modified version of the ribbed flower headband pattern on there, but that is the normal flower used.

I got my 13 yr old God daughters' jacket done

2007-04-24T20:28:00.000-04:00

Here it is in pieces before I joined them and before I had to modify the pockets.
Here it is joined and the new pockets added as well as the buttons. I wish they had a purple button but they didn't.
Here is my god daughter with the jacket on. I can't believe I got a smile out of her lol she is the one who is the hardest to get a smile out of no matter what.
Here is the back of the jacket.
And here she is outside with it on which she insisted I take one more picture before I left. I used RH in Burgundy, Pumpkin, Bright Yellow, Hunter Green, Royal Blue, and I think the purple is called Plum. The pockets and trim was also RH in Mexicana. The original pattern I was following was in the Crochet Today! feb/mar '07 issue and the pattern is called 'Zippy Hoodie' only I didn't use the pockets they wanted b/c they would've been too big and I used buttons instead of a zipper. I still have yet to learn how to sew in zippers.

Lucy turned 4 on 4/22!!! don't pay attn. to her crazy hair

2007-04-23T20:57:00.000-04:00

Here is my youngest god daughter on her 4th birthday. There she is attacking some of the gifts she got. Her clothes weren't up on the couch. There is my god son in the pic of course.
There is the My Little Pony that was hard to find no matter what I did. I didn't think that pony would be so hard to find lol but when she got it opened this huge smile spread across her face and she said to me, "You got me my pony momma dee, it's just what I wanted" so I know she loved it. Here she is dressed as a Fairy for her bday like she wanted. Last year she was dressed as a Princess for her b-day so this year she saw this outfit in the store and said she wanted to be a Fairy for her b-day so here is my Fairy girl and she is the cutest Fairy lol.
She changed for her cake time b/c she didn't want to ruin her Fairy outfit with cake. This was another outfit I had bought her.
When she took out her candles to lick off the icing she didn't give me one so this is what I did to her for not giving me a candle lol. All in all it was fun I had to wait for her to come home from church but we had a lot of fun yesterday. Now we have to get her pics of her sitting next to the number 4.

Look at our new puppy

2007-04-15T15:48:00.000-04:00

This is Chewy and he is 7 weeks old. He is a JRT( Jack Russell Terrier). We got him today from a breeder who works with my mom. When we brought him home we watched him to see what we were going to name him, well he started to chew on everything in his sight so we named him chewy. He is so tiny and cute that I have to hold him and spoil him.

My God daughters' Easter dresses are done

2007-04-08T01:54:00.000-04:00

These dresses are called 'Angel Song' and they are from the Crochet Garden site. There are so many beautiful patterns on there it was hard for me to choose what dress pattern to use for their easter dresses. I also had alot of help from a very nice lady her name is Nadine and she is one of the testers for Crochet Garden.
This is a pic of the dresses with the petticoat underneth it. The petticoat is supposed to be longer then the dress but my goddaughters didn't want them that long so they are shorter then the dress.
The dresses turned out big on them Lucy is in the purple and Sierra is in the pink but they both said they like them that way so they can move around more. As you can see my god son whose name is Bernard(Bernie boy for short) wanted in on the pic as well.
Here they are spinning around they loved the way the dresses flared as they spun around. They spun around so much, they were making us dizzy. Once again there's my god son he loves to be in pictures. I used Caron Simply Soft for both dresses and a I hook for the purple dress and a K hook for the pink dress but my stitches were so loose they turned out big on them.

Progress so far on the baby ripple

2007-03-29T22:56:00.000-04:00

Okay here is what I have so far on the round ripple for my friends baby in California.
Here is close up of the colors I have. They are in Red Heart Soft Baby in white, pink, bunny print for the variegated color, and purple. I love this RH baby yarn it is nice. I want to get more variegated colors of RH soft baby though. The pattern is from Colleen a.k.a Aggie May on the 'ville. So far it is only 18 rows. I will finish it once I am done with my two youngest god daughters easter dresses.

This Bratz goes camo....Pink Camo

Okay here is my Bratz Leah baby with her new outfit on a pink camo outfit.
Here it is without the jacket and notice the pocket on the fron of the skirt
Here she is styling with her sunglasses and her cute visor.
And here is the outfit without her in it. It's four pieces and the jacket, tank top, and skirt were all my pattern I did as I went along, but the visor I got the pattern off the DIY site. I stitched it closed in the back so you just slip it on her big head lol. I just love this color yarn it is so cute, and I have enough left over to make me and my god daughter something this summer.

Another new Bratz Big Babyz outfit & a jealous Brat

2007-03-06T22:42:00.000-05:00

This is Katia and her new outfit. Notice it covers her up lol.
Leah walks by and sees this new outfit and now she wants one.
Leah then looks at me points at Katia and says,"I want a new outfit".
I told her she would have to wait so she got upset and turned her back on us. There is Katia looking at her and laughing so now I have another outfit to make lol.
This is Katias' outfit. It is a dress and a shrug that I made by just making a rectangle and measuring it as I went. The dress was just something I made up as I went along. It was a skirt but I added the top onto it to make it a one piece dress.

Afghan is now finished

2007-03-05T21:18:00.000-05:00

Here is the top half of the blanket folded it was too big where I had it so I had to fold it.
Here is the bottom half of it folded it was kind of heavy too.
And here it is laid out in my small hallway it is a little longer then six feet and about 37 inches across. I wased and dreid it on air fluff and it so soft and it smells so good. Now I have to get it to my god daughter and once I get it there I will take pics of her with it.

Squares for the Afghan I'm making Lucys' sister

2007-02-20T18:31:00.000-05:00

Okay the two squares with the hearts came from a wonderful lady at Crochetville named Daisy. Her squares are so lovely. The variegated square came from another wonderful lady on the same site named Mary(salos) always loved this color yarn. The bottom two came from yet again another sweet lady on Crochetville who has the same name as my god daughter and that name is Lucy(MLLORF). I love the colors and I love the rings in the middle as well awesome squares.
Now of these twins sets of squares the top two came from a great lady named Sheri (scc51055) who is also a part of the 'ville. The bottom two came from another great lady on the 'ville by the name of Linda(Pineknott) awesome squares ladies.
Now all five of these squares came from the same Great lady who is also on the 'ville and her name is Christina(Shaelynnesmom) and I just adore these squares especially the square with the rose. I also love the color of the purple square in the middle it is a very pretty color.
This square was actually given to me by a good friend and her name is Tina. This square was given to me so I could make a multi colored afghan for myself but when I decided to make this afghan for Lucys' sister I decided to give this square to her. I'm going to join these squares and then maybe border them with either 6 or 8 inche squares around it.

Valentine Stuffies

2007-02-18T18:15:00.000-05:00

I meant to post this on V-day but forgot to dump out my digicam. Well I made these for my god daughter Lucy and her siblings (4 sisters, 1 brother) hence the only blue one. They are heart pillows. I got the idea from a lady on Crochetville by the name of Chrome Kitty. Hers had arms and legs and they were boyfriend and girlfriend. The pattern was from here:
http://members.aol.com/JSchlossma/heartcst.html I took them to her house on v-day but just got around to posting this pic. Lucy wanted to keep her heart which of course is the purple one at my house but I told her it would be lonely without the other hearts and so she said to leave it at her house. I love how gullable children can be. Sometimes I can fool her other times I can't.

My Starghans for the twins are Done

2007-02-13T23:07:00.000-05:00

Here are the Starghans for the twins that are due in May. They are for a lady at work whose son girlfriend is having twins. There is the girl one here for the the girl twin. Here is the boy starghan I made for the boy twin.
Here they are side by side along wth my foot lol. The straghans measure 42 inches from point to point and 36 1/2 inches from top point to valley I think they call it. I made them both with Red Heart worsted yarns and they were very heavy and rough when I got done with them. After I was finished I washed them on gentle and dried them on the air fluff cycle and they came out soft and lightweight. I used the worsted weight yarn b/c even though the twins will be here in May it is still kind of cold here in Indianapolis so they are kind of thick. The next one I make will be either an eight or twelve point and it will be made with baby yarn b/c it'll be going to California where it is mcuh warmer.

The Bratz Babyz gets some clothes

2007-02-11T17:45:00.000-05:00

That's what the Bratz Babyz look like when you bring her home in the box. This is a baby doll she should have clothes on besides a one piece and socks. Then I decided she needed clothes on so here she is with her clothes on that I decided to make her. That's the first time I ever seen a Bratz baby covered up from head to toe. I will be making more outfits for her in the future and the other one I have well my gid daughter Lucy that is. I will make the other Bratz baby a gothic outfit as well as others. I also closed the back of the top with snaps but I may use velcro next time.

My first ever Starghan

2007-01-21T20:09:00.000-05:00

Here is my first ever starghan. I got the pattern from Angelcrafts it's called 'Six Point Round Ripple Baby Afghan' I used Caron Simply Soft in White, Orchid, and Iris and a H hook. It was easier to do then I thought it would be. It just took me so long b/c I work everyday so I barely had time to work on it. Here it is in it's progress up until the end:

Well that was the stages of it and now it is ready to go to California when I get some more stuff for the soon to be born baby girl. I have two more to make for a boy and girl.

Look what I did for my moms' doll

2007-01-17T21:22:00.000-05:00

This is the book I got the pattern to do the dress for my moms' Cabbage Patch doll. It's the pink dress that is on the cover. I had to use a bigger hook(H or I) and Caron Simply Soft in Watermelon and Grape.
Here is my moms' baby in the outfit. She is too cute it took me about a day seeing as I had to go to work but it worked up fast. I had to add more rows in the watermelon color b/c it was seven ros then the purplr but I did ten rows then the purple. The booties I just did a tube and then shell edged it around. Here is the outfit on the chair. It not as bright as it looks in the pic. My mom just loves the outfit which makes me happy.

Another Poncho set I did

2007-01-03T22:50:00.000-05:00

Here are two more ponchos I did for my cousins' daughters. The one on the left is for her 8 yr. old and the one on the right is for her 3 yr. old. Both ponchos can fit me so they are big, but that is how their mom wants them. They are from the pattern on the Lion Brand site called the 'Groovy Granny Poncho' I just used smaller hooks seeing as that is an adult pattern.

Another baby set I made this time with a blanket

2006-12-18T21:35:00.000-05:00

Okay I made this one for a coworkers' granddaughter's baby doll. The jacket is from Bev's site, the hat is also from her site the pattern is called, 'Teresa's 10 minute hats' and it takes on ten minutes. The booties are a pattern from a site called, 'Loving Hugs' the blanket is a rectangle granny square and the pattern came from a lady's blog called ErinLindsey's Pile of Yarn Granny Square pattern. Not only does she have the pattern but she also has pics which sometimes I would love to have both a pic and a pattern.
This is just a pic of the blanket I can't remember how long and wide it is but it would've made a nice baby blanket as well.

Two outfits I made to brighten a little girls' xmas

2006-12-10T19:19:00.000-05:00

Okay this doll was once Lucys' but when I told her I was looking for a toy for a little girl for xmas, we both went thru her toys and she pulled out this doll and said that the little girl could have it for xmas. So of course I had to make a couple of outfits for it. This outfit I came up with on my own, ya know my own design the booties came from Abigail Goss' site called Crotiques(I think) and they are called 'sockies'. The hat is from Bev's site and the pattern is called 'Teresa's ten minute hat in which it did only take ten minutes to do. Here she is in her outfit and the back is closed in snaps which this was the first time doing snaps for me. It's not so bad doing snaps.
Here is the second outfit I made. The top I redid it with a pattern from a site called 'Angelcrafts' and the pattern is called 'Eyelet Shell Angel Top'. The pants I did myself I just added a big elastic band for the waist. The booties are once again from Abigail Goss's site the pattern is called 'Sockies'. The hat is a pattern from The Crochet Garden and the pattern is called, 'Tiny Blossoms Precious Preemie Hat' and it was very easy. The hat has ties for the child to tie the hat on the baby doll. I also gave the little girl who is 5 some crayons, a coloring book,the two outfits that came with the doll, a blanket for herself, A outfit I bought her from my job, and a nice bag to hold it all in. It was a Mudd bag I had that I used to use as Lucys' diaper bag so of course I kept it in great shape. I should be getting a thank you note from them and Ihope she liked her gifts.

My Little Pony Clothes I made much thanx to Christina

2006-10-29T15:24:00.000-05:00

Here is the clothes I made for Lucy. The patterns are from Christina's site. I still have three more pieces to make for her pony. I may buy her more and make them all something.
If you noticed I have two Bratz Babyz dolls they stand about 4.5 inches high. I am trying to find a way to make clothes for them to cover them up b/c the clothes thayhave for them at the stores are kind of expensive so I rather make them instead. If anyone have and ideas let me know.

Matching Ponchos

2006-10-22T16:48:00.000-04:00

Here are the ponchos I made for me and my little one to wear for our pics we're taking Here we are in one of the poses in our ponchos.

2 Baby Sets I Made

2006-10-22T16:39:00.000-04:00

This one I made for a co-worker whose neice just had a baby girl on the 18th
This one I made for a co-worker whose grandson wife just had a baby girl in Aug. I got the pattern off of Bev's site, they are pretty easy to make once you get into the hang of making them.

Ugh what a tragedy

2006-09-21T23:08:00.000-04:00

Well it was for me anywayz. My precious monitor konked out on me today. I only had the computer for two years so there shouldn't have been any reason for it to konk out but it did. I even hooked it up to my mom's computer and it lasted for about twenty minutes and then it just went blank. I had to buy another one for $60 at a computer store and it is bigger, 19" screen and I like it but next time I am getting either a laptop or a flat panel monitor. I don't know if a laptop can hold as much memory as a desktop comp but if it can I am moving to that.

Look at what I made Yay!! And now she has a hat!!!

2006-08-23T00:25:00.000-04:00

Here is the first outfit I made for a doll. It's basically all hdc's, and the straps are sc's. The bottom of the top is grannies and the bottom of the pants are two dc's in each stitch. The waist of the pants are dc's and a drawstring to keep them up. I'm now going to make and outfit for a Cabbage Patch doll since I know I can make doll clothes.

and here she is with her hat. I got the pattern from Christina's site the only difference was I didn't put the straps on it.

Gifts given to me by my Elf

2006-08-22T21:47:00.000-04:00

Some squares I have so far

2006-06-07T21:53:00.000-04:00

These two squares were made by a really good friend of mine she is also my swap partner.
This one is called Drop in the Bucket square it was really for me to make and I love the design of it.
This oneis called a Friendship square it wasn't that hard to make either but you can't see the pattern though, oh well I love the color of it though.
This square was made by my good friend and swap partners' son he did awesome if you ask me
This square I did is called a Chain Granny it came off of Dayna's crochet site it was really easy to make and I may go back to her site to make more of her squares. Once I get enough squares I will make an afghan.

Here is an angel for a Friend

2006-05-24T19:44:00.000-04:00

Here is the Summer Brights Halter

2006-05-06T17:31:00.000-04:00

Lucy in her outfit

2006-05-06T17:23:00.000-04:00

okay this is her in the outfit that I made. The only thing I have to do is close it a little more on the sides but other then that it's perfect for her.

Here's the first Out fit made with no pattern

2006-04-30T00:02:00.000-04:00

well here is the halter top and skirt I made for my little one. The top I just took a granny triangle and double crocheted and added shells around it and for the skirt I used two granny triangles and joined them and alternated sc's and dc's and then for the last dc at the top I chained I think 250 and weaved that through for a drawstring. I just got to get a pic of Lucy in it now.

After dyeing

2006-04-29T00:51:00.000-04:00

This it after dyeing it only the middle yarn dyed I kind of did that on purpose. I love the way it turned out. Now I hope it will go back to the size it was before I dyed it for if it doesn't then Lucy will not be able to fit it.
