Crochet for gifts?

I am working on a clutch. I decided to make one out of Red Heart camouflage acrylic yarn. It's taking me a bit to get it right but Si figure after I'be made one, I can make several. So maybe they can be gifts for the holidays. We'll see how it goes.

The Happy Hooker

I am thrilled to say that I finally got the Stitch'n Bitch crochet book that I've wanted for so long! It's really awesome & I've decided to challenge myself by doing it page by page until I learn it all. I am pretty excited. It's a daunting task but I am truly excited.

Crafting Hiatus...well, sort of.

I haven't "made" anything in a while. Well, a few cards. And then that lovely T-shirt at Vacation Bible school. But other than that, I haven't made anything. Too many irons in the fire with baby, church, new job and attempting to launch a new business.

I do plan to schedule a session with my girl, Kerry, soon, and I also hope to do some crafts with the kids at church. But other than that, I'm on a crafting hiatus. Unless, of course, I can get a crochet group going at church. Then, maybe, I could mix my hobby with my job. That would be cool! So we'll see. Okay, so I guess I'm on a crochet hiatus.

I'd really like to make some more t-shirts...that was really fun. Hmmmm.

Teaching Crochet?

I went to the closing events for my son's Vacation Bible School and I brought a project with me. I'm currently working on a baby blanket using the diagonal box stitch. The tween girls seemed pretty impressed with my work and wanted to know if I could teach them. Since I don't go to church there, I suggested they check in with my mother-in-law and get something arranged. I told them I'd be happy to teach them.

My question: Do I know enough to teach some tweens how to crochet? I'm thinking a scarf is a good starter.

I'm excited to get the chance to spend some time with these girls, hear their stories and teach them a skill that gives them confidence and a cool hobby.

Amanda's Graduation Card

I made this card for my cousin Amanda. She graduated at the end of May. This is the picture of the card and the back of the envelope. It was fun to make. I will post my card gallery once I get it going.

Why I Love YouTube: How to make Plarn! by aephemera

I now have a use for the giant bag of bags in my utility closet. LOL! I am going to be a trashion designer! I'm thinking totebags, purses, vests, a tie, wallets, pocketbooks, picnic blankets, shoe covers, table cloths, rugs...the possibilities are endless. Obnoxious and free fun for everyone!!! *cue maniacal laughter*
