Funny Finds Friday!

In looking around the web, I found some interesting things. 

Not all of them are funny - but, the first one is for sure!

I thought I would highlight some of my finds here:

This wreath cracked me up!  I would LOVE to have it

The price tag is a little too high for me! ($185)

But, it's sold anyway!

Thanksgiving Wreath

This little guy made me smile!

My little Benjamin is in LOVE with Minions!

And he's just figuring out what a bookmark is. 

Minion Book Mark

These Ice Cream Cones are the cutest!

(they are the only kind I can enjoy now)

BTW- the website includes the full pattern

Ice Cream Cones

It took me awhile to get excited about Adult Coloring books.

Then, I saw these with Bible verses.... what a GREAT idea

(and they are FREE!)

Coloring Pages

And while poking around on the site - I saw THIS Bible

It's called the Inspire Bible

I think this might be in my future!

Watermelon Hat

When I saw this hat from my VERY favorite crocheter

I KNEW that I had to make it for the 2 little girls in my life.

This is my darling little great-niece

Abby

Isn't she a sweetie with her little watermelon hat?

Then, here is sweet little 

Penelope. 

She is the daughter of my coworker

I had so much fun creating them for these cute little sweeties!

This post should have been published a YEAR ago - but, I am behind.

But, I want to make sure I have all my creations on my blog!

I Have Been MIA for Way Too Long!

I haven't posted in more than a YEAR!!!!

This poor little blog has been on mind all 365+ days.  

I was trying to decide 

 I wanted to have this blog!!!

To make 

To document

For Fun?

To make

I think for now.... I will stick with...... To Document

(mostly my crocheting!!)

So, if that is the reason.... then, I want to catch up on all the things that I have made in the last year - and chronicle them right here!!

Whoooo Loves Hats??

 Well, I think the jury is in.... and it's me.....

 

Once again, one of my daughters asked me to make a hat for a gift.

And.... I had to say:

YES

 I had so much fun making these.  They are for a newborn baby girl and her 7 year old sister.

I can't wait to see pictures of them wearing them.

 Once again, I used my favorite "hat lady" Repeat Crafter Me.  

I am so happy with her patterns and how they turn out!!

Wonder Crochet Blanket #4 & #5

 

I'm keeping up!

The more I crochet - the more I am liking all the colors.

I love the way it is coming along.

And the added benefit of using up my scraps of yarn!!

Easter For My Neices and AG

I saw these cute Easter accessories for an American Girl... and I know 2 special young ladies that each have an several American Girls.

These little bunny ears were too precious.... (maybe I should make some for myself!!)

I made one basket for each of them, and a bunny ears headband

They were fun to create!

The entire pattern had a sweet little Easter dress to go with the accessories.  But, I am just pleased with myself that I got these 4 items made and sent in time for Easter morning!!!

Unicorns are Magical!

My daughter called one night, and told me that her co-worker's birthday was coming up - and she loves Unicorns.  Would I please make her a hat!!

Well, needless to say, I had the hat itself done in that very evening!

The horn and the mane were done the next night.

Her birthday was last week ---- 

And....... SHE LOVED IT!!!

Wonder Crochet Blanket CAL #2 & #3

 

So, as I shared a few weeks ago

I was doing another crochet-along.

Here is installment 2 and 3.

My life has been a little crazy - so I wasn't able to take a picture at the end of installment 2

I am using scraps - so, it looks a little "rough" right now - but, I'm hoping that in a few months, it will look better.

I'm almost done with installment 4 - so, I'm going to hopefully take pictures in the new couple of days.

Segment #1

Segment #2 & #3

Hello!!!

Well, for quite some time I have been wanting to have a blog that is all about Dachshunds.  I have done it sporadically for a few years.... 

Well, I have a new post - and wanted to share it!!

For The Love Of Doxies

If you love dachshunds,

Or, if you love me....

Jump on over!

Gifts for Christmas??? In January???

Found this CAL (Crochet-a-long) that spends all year making gifts, so that when Christmas comes around, you are ready with gifts to give.

The first pattern was a hat.

I'm not so sure I would have picked this pattern from a list of patterns - 

but, I think that it turned nicely.  

The picture of this pattern had ribbon woven in on the bottom. 

I wasn't sure what color to use. 

What do you think? Dark green? White?  

This was a very easy pattern

Kind of looks like a Christmas Tree, doesn't it?

 

Then, I showed it to Lynn (my youngest daughter) and she took it.

Okay, I told her she could have it!

 I looks good on her!

(But, I said "Merry Christmas!!)

Just In Time For Super Bowl!

My nephew was expecting his first baby this month!

My nephew is on the football team at college. 

I was so excited to make a little football hat. 

I saw the pattern, and whipped it up over a weekend! (I was quite proud of myself)

He had the baby last week

Welcome to little Carter Max

What a sweetie!!

Repeat Crafter Me had the pattern

(love her site)
