What's Hap-pinning Wednesday

Linking up here

It's been awhile since I blogged about my pins.

I really find it nice to go back through my pins, and look at what I found interesting in the last few weeks!

Still pinning Christmas - but I won't bore you

Easter is coming - and this looks so cute!!

 Maybe make a garland out of them!

Now for the crochet pins (of course)

 Baby blanket

Something cute for my little granddaughter!

Cute way to package my homemade gifts

Cute little fruit (maybe for my nieces?)

And, last but not least - the cutest doxie purse ever!

Wonder Crochet Blanket CAL

Well, I'm going to start another Crochet-A-Long

I know, I know, you never saw the 2015 baby blanket crochet-a-long finished. 

I still have it on my mind - knowing I need to finish it! 

 But, something more "flashy and bright" caught my eye....

 I have ADD... okay???

Anyway - be happy for me.....

This one is a little different. I will be crocheting rows, instead of blocks.... the up side: No joining.... YAY!!!!

Anyway.... here are my first 6 rows:

 

I don't have a color scheme.

I am using my stash of yarn.

 That is the only way that I was going to justify doing ANOTHER project!

Cozy Posy Scarf and Headband

 These are the gifts that I made for my sweet nieces.

They are so soft and cuddly - I wanted to make one for myself!!!

        

 It appears that the girls liked their scarves and headbands!

I don't know where Hannah's headband is - I will have to investigate this matter!!

Here are the patterns:Cozy Posy Headband       Cozy Posy Scarf

Hey, Benjamin! Let's Go Fishing!

 It was my sweet little grandson, Benjamin's birthday last week. 

He turned 4 years old.

He is so precious.  My heart just EXPLODES when I think about him!!

 

He LOVES fishing, so I thought I would just crochet him a fishing pond with fish!

 The fish have a metal washer crocheted in their mouth. Here is the pattern.

There was not a pattern for the "pond".  So, I just started a circle and kept going until it was big enough.

 Then, I made a draw string. Found a stick (Ben calls it a "fish stick") and crocheted a pretty strong magnet onto the end.

 

It seems that baby sister loved the fish.  She thought that was the best part!

 

 And, of course Ben figured out that the magnet would pick up his other toys... so, they went into the pond, also!!

Happy Birthday to the Lovely Sierra!

 Sierra is 11 years old today!!

Happy Birthday Sierra!!!

 

I had so much fun making these, and finding "just the right" flower to make this pennant just perfect!

Then I thought it would be fun the curl it around into a little "puzzle"

I used the lower case alphabet and banner from Moogly!

Happy Birthday to my Sweet Hannah!!

It was my youngest niece's birthday yesterday!!

She lives in Virginia.... a million miles from me!!

I made her this banner/pennant.

I can't wait to see where she hangs it!!

Happy Birthday Hannah!!

What's Hap-pinning Wednesday!

 Linking up with Jessi and Jenn

It's been a few weeks since I've shared my pins on my blog......

Don't pin too many recipes - because I always forget to go back and look at them.  

But, this one looked like it had some fun ideas!

some look great.... some look just so-so

Babies, babies, babies.

It's just WAY too fun to crochet for babies!

 

Cute set

Never enough booties!

 

Buttons are the perfect addition!

Ok, these 2 hats made me laugh and laugh.... I want to make them... 

I don't exactly know WHEN I would wear them....

 

Just add a bathrobe!

So colorful!

Christmas is coming... it comes EVERY year.... 

and I always find lots of GREAT things to create over the holidays!

 

Must do this one!

Keep Christ is Christmas!

And, now, I must end with some doxie pins....

Pink & Grey Elephant

I decided since I had leftover yarn from the afghan I made for my niece's baby shower, I would make up a little elephant "cuddly"'

I fell in love with one that I saw in Pinterest

But, when I clicked on it - it was just available for purchase.

So, I thought.....

I'm an experienced crocheter - I can do this on my own.

So, I made a little granny square with a nice edging.... then....

I found an elephant pattern and just made the head and front legs......

Ta Da!!!!

Pink & Grey Afghan

Well, I finally finished it!!

 My niece is having her first baby - and we had a shower for her last week.

 Her colors were pink and grey

I thought it turned out very nicely

 I made my own labels.  I was so excited.  

I found out how to print right on to fabric. 

 I looked up a video on YouTube. 

This was part of a month long Crochet-A-Long
