Crochet Me Crazy

Well, here are a couple of hats I had taken pictures of that I had finished....









and another pair of boot cuffs....



I have more stuff made up to take pictures of but I don't have a camera to take pictures with at the moment. My daughter and husband took it with them on their trip!

I made two pairs of slippers last night and today at work I made two cupcake hats...one in a baby size and one in a toddler size. Those should be popular sellers.

I have been on a roll. I'm going to try to do a craft booth so I'm getting ready and getting serious about it. I'm making up a lot of small projects that take less time whipped out first to get some inventory built up. I'm going to put some effort into displaying items because I think it will help.

I'm making up a lot of these earwarmers...This is a free pattern you can find here: Ravelry: Everly Head Wrap pattern by Mamachee

I chose this pattern because it's quick to make and it's also pretty and not just a boring rectangle shaped earwarmer. I'm up to 15 of them made now since I took this picture....



I'm going to get my son to build me something that I can hang these earwarmers from that will make a nice display.

The ear warmer doesn't need a flower but Alison said she thought it would be cute with a flower so I decided I would make the flower pins and sell them separately. If someone wants a flower for their earwarmer, they can add it or not. I printed up these cards on card stock to pin the flowers too.



I'll work on boots cuffs and hats next. I have some ideas on how to display those as well but more about that later.

I have a couple of other pictures of some projects I've finished but I'll post about that later...I'm tired at the moment so I think I'll stop here.

Well Alison and I went to San Antonio on Tuesday and I knocked myself out at Hobby Lobby buying yarn....seriously, I went crazy. I took samples of all the colors that I already had on hand and I bought one of every color that I didn't have. It's hard living an hour away from a yarn store! I also bought a couple of extra balls of some chunky yarn to make this set for Alison to wear while she's in Illinois next week....





Lastly, here are the pictures of the other small projects that I made over the last long work weekend...

Well, I'm doing good...not only did I finish crocheting 3 pairs of boot cuffs this weekend but I also TOOK PICTURES! Yay for me!



The one below is a Basketweave Boot Cuff pattern you can find over at ELK Studios here: Basketweave Boot Cuff



These are my favorite. I love the bow tassells. I came up with that idea myself. Anyway, they look black and white in the picture but they are actually navy blue and white.

Finally taking my final picture of this monstrous afghan! It is huge! The picture is taken on a queen size bed. It was so fun making this! Pattern was perfectly written. I will be making more of his patterns for sure. This will be a gift for my son.

Spent the day grocery shopping and doing errands yesterday with Alison. She's working today and I have been working on getting my house cleaned! It's been awhile and it's driving me nuts!

I'm trying to get my act together and get organized. I had my yarn in the spare bedroom but Jeff keeps filling the room up with more and more stuff. And Alison also uses it for her scrapbooking room. Even though my yarn is IN there I don't have room to dig through it to see what I have when planning projects...which is what I'm doing now. I worked on that afghan for so long...now I'm trying to come up with some projects so I have something to do this weekend at work. I moved all of my crochet yarn bins to my bedroom. It looks crappy but at least I can get to it now. So the planning begins...I've got a couple of crochet boot cuff patterns I'm going to try out...the Aislinn Boot Cuffs by Charmed by Ewe and Bipolar(Reversible) Boot Cuffs by Regina Graham. Also, I'm going to go for the Everly Head Wrap by Mamachee. Now to pick out my colors and pack them up to take with me. I've also got a Chevron Baby Car Seat Canopy on my hook right now but that one is a work in progress.

Here's a Cable Earwarmer Pattern I made last weekend....



This is a free pattern and you can find it here: By Jenni Designs: Crochet Women's Cable Ear Warmer Free Pattern

I'm going to take a picture of my Panes of Change Afghan this weekend for sure!! I'm completely finished with it and I've been carrying it around in my car but I never took a final picture! I really want to make another one of the Frank O'Randle afghans but I haven't gotten around to planning that out yet. No doubt it will involve yarn buying...and of course, who I make it for depends on my color schemes.
