Crochet Me Crazy

I haven't been getting much accomplished in the way of crochet. That's part of the reason I haven't posted here much. I have been extremely distracted with organizing all of my crochet patterns that I have saved on my computer. I was always printing them out from the internet and had them in binders. I've about decided that it will be easier to keep them on my computer and only print them when I am ready to use them. Printing them gets expensive!

I'll share one project I have completed!

Bath scrubbie & soap saver 
I plan on making a wash cloth and maybe a back scrubber to go with this set.

Next, I want to share a few of my recent yarn acquisitions. Hobby Lobby had 50% off sale on all of their crochet books so I picked up a couple of books as well as some yarn.

Yarn from Hobby Lobby 

Do I NEED this yarn? No, but it sure is pretty and I have a weakness for all that furry stuff!

Now onto my Ebay yarn purchases...I had a phase of temporary insanity and about fell over when I saw how big these cones of yarn I got were! My kids were rolling on the floor laughing when I took it out of the box. "MAMA!"

I don't think I will ever use all this in my lifetime! Notice the yard stick that I have there to give you an idea of just how big they are. The rose colored cone weighs 6 1/2 pounds!! All three are Chenille yarn.

I did get a heck of a deal considering how much this stuff cost for a skein of it in the stores. I don't think I'll ever be able to use all this in my lifetime though!!

This yarn is going up for sale. This is a thinner type of thread yarn. I got it with some other yarns off of Ebay. I am keeping one just like the big cream colored one. I don't do enough thread crochet to justify keeping these. The yarns wasn't really what I thought it was so I think I am going to list it back on Ebay.

I just remembered that I have made a few thread snowflakes that I forgot to take pictures of. I knew I HAD to have accomplished something more than just the soap saver even with my distractions. I think I'm going to work on my freeform a bit. I'm going to make a freeform bolster pillow to go with my king sized afghan.

Well, its getting late here....so I'm going to run for now.
