since my granddaughter isn’t here yet, i’ve had to find new and interesting ways of displaying the hats i’ve made. it’s tough! nothing is quite right. tonight, michael bear, was wearing the new flower petal hat that i made today. i found this wonderful pattern at little owl creations. it’s called the FLOWER PETAL BONNET. she sells the bonnet pattern, the petal patterns and both together.

i’m addicted to stumbleupon. i admit it…totally addicted. so lately i’ve been stumbling the crochet thread and have found tons of cool projects.

yesterday, i started mairead’s afghan finally. when my sister asked her what colors she wanted she said pink, pink and pink. unfortunately the third color of pink just didn’t look right so i switched it to ivory. i like the look so far! i hope mairead likes it as much as i do.

this is one of my favorite patterns from speckled frog crochet, [ ... ]

i didn’t get it done in time so whipped up a quick hat which i thought was adorable.
but more on that later…
i made this hat which i fell in love with. the expectant mother, while opening her gifts, said that her mother hates hats and wouldn’t dare put that yellow one on the baby. of course, being the sensitive girl that i am, i was stricken. how rude and hurtful! (this adorable hat was made with a pattern called KISS [ ... ]
