Apache Tears blanket

I have already started working on fair items for next year.  I am bound and determined that I am going to beat those older women who have been crocheting forever. 

C2C baby blanket

I made some items for our local county fair and this baby blanket placed 4th.  It was a gift for a friend and she will be having her baby girl in the next few days.  Hopefully she likes it!!!

 

It was a c2c blanket and I love to colors and how they look together. 

 

Messy bun beanies

 I have been making messy bun beanies like crazy!  I have been making them for Christmas gifts, after Christmas, just making them every night for all my wonderful friends.  There are so many different colors that I love and that I am wanting to make an extra or myself as well.  I am still taking orders for them. 

Earwarmers

I am always at football games, basketball games, outside in general, so I need something to cover my ears when I am out in the cold.  I have made this with solid colors and have made it into a football earwarmer, softball and baseball.  I am looking at making it into a basketball too.  I hope that you enjoy making these too!  Remember, you are starting out the first row by half double crocheting (hdc) around the ponytail holder.

I would love to see your pictures!  You have the ability to make it longer and not put the ponytail holder in it.  Or you can put a button so the it can be adjusted.  This pattern is just limitless. 

Christmas gifts-Snowbound Throw

My Black Friday.... I want one of these for myself!!! I need to figure out what colors I want and get after it, after Christmas. 💙 This one will end up being about 60 inches wide, which is enough to cuddle with. We will see how long it ends up being. I'm going to crochet until I'm happy with the length.

Round facial scrubbers

I have used the mini facial wash cloths and love them, but I created this too. I have them stored in a jar and they look pretty on my countertop.


This is some of what crocheted today. I'll get better pictures later but these are in my washer and getting ready to go in the jar in my bathroom. Here are the instructions to these lovely facial scrubbers!!

Dishcloths for Christmas

I am not a fan of orange, but I love using Poppy in Peaches and Cream cotton yarn for dishcloths/washcloths. It makes pretty gifts too! Super simple pattern that everyone has loved that have ever received one.💙💙💙💙
