Well, that was a hoot!

My own original pattern! I'm so proud! Every time I'm looking through crochet patterns, I see a lot of owls, so I decided to make my own using my mom's wood slices (http://www.etsy.com/shop/JUSTSLICES) for the eyes. Now I finally know how to do the crocodile stitch! :)

This pattern is now available through my Etsy store :D

I am IRON MAN!

I saw this online last night at http://www.louiesloops.com/2012/05/avengers-assemble.html, and I just had to make them!!! I wish I was creative like this!

 

Again, I apologize for the awful quality of my pictures, but you get the point :)

Crochet Flower Wood Slice Button

Ok, I'm really proud of myself!!! I finally came up with something that is somewhat original! My mom is selling wood slices on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/JUSTSLICES), and she gave me some to play with. I am by no means a creative person, but I have thought of a couple things to do with these wood slices, and I just put one of those ideas into action. What do you think? :D

I want to make some without the button holes and add magnets to the back and decorate my fridge.
So now I'm on a mission to find ways to combine wood slices and crochet. :D

No, dear, it's not bacon!

So, for my next project, I wanted to make something to put on Etsy. With the 4th of July coming, I thought I'd go with something patriotic. I liked the the crochet drawstring bag I made before, so I decided to make another one, but with a patriotic look.

"Why did you mention bacon?"

When I got part way through this project, my wonderful child came in and told me that it looked like I was crocheting bacon. I guess it really did!

While not amazing as bacon, we both really like the finished product.

I already posted the bag pattern on a previous post. The stars came from this page- http://wildaboutcolor.blogspot.com/2011/09/free-star-pattern.html

Momma and Baby Birds in a Nest

So for my next project, and I believe for my next few projects I'll be doing the same, I used a lionbrand.com pattern. I was going to try to make stuff to sell on Etsy, and I thought this would be a great first project.

I finished it on Mother's Day, and I thought "Well, it matches my mom's kitchen... and she does have three kids." Needless to say, after bringing the finished craft to my parent's to show them, it never made it home. I even had to have them take the pictures! Oops! :D

Complete Wedding Gift

So I completed the second part of my friend's wedding gift yesterday- an hour and a half before the wedding. Procraftination at it's best, I tell ya. I really hope she liked it. I enjoyed making it, and it's probably the one thing I'm going to be the proudest of making.

I already posted the bear, but the bag pattern came from- http://www.moms-crochet.com/crochet-purse.html
