Blue waves

I have been working on this blanket

for almost a year its finally done!

I wanted my 6' son
to be able to wrap up in it
so its a very LARGE blanket

It has the feel of ocean waves

 All in blues & greens

I folded it up
sat it on the couch
and it was like
a cat magnet

Why do my cats like to lay
 on everything that I crochet???

I finished this tree skirt too
but forgot to take pictures of
it all done before I gave it away

I used mostly leftover yarn

Fortunately I gave it to
someone that lives nearby
so when I go over there
next time I will take pictures
of it around their tree

I used the pom pom edge on it
and it turned out really cute!

I will post pictures soon.

Beanie Marathon Weekend

The weather is 
getting cold again

which means 
its time for beanies!

I had a request 
from a little someone

who lives in Oregon 

for some new beanies

so I spent the weekend
crocheting beanies

They are a fun little distraction

Quick and easy to make

And they help de-stash

My ever growing pile of yarn

And now back to 
afghan crocheting….
I'm finishing up a 
VERY LARGE
project

Rainbow Unicorn

A few days ago I was looking thru

Pinterest and came across 

a unicorn beanie at Repeat Crafter Me

I do have to admit I let out

a little squeal....my grand daughter

is obsessed with unicorns

Especially RAINBOW unicorns

Being the yarn hoarder that I am

I had everything I needed

except the green yarn

The beanie was easy

But the mane and the ears

took a couple tries

to get them right

I did modify the ears

and added a couple rows 

to the horn

....a

unicorn does need a

substancial horn ya know

Im tickled with the 

way it turned out

and I can't wait

to see the look on her face

when I give it to her

Little Pumpkins

I work in a 

senior apartment community 

and once a month 

I teach a craft class

This was our last class

Little pumpkins made from sweaters

They are fun and easy to make

 These are going to seniors

 when the girls at work

do their home visits

A little pumpkin 

and some goodies 

to put a smile 

on someones face
