Crochet Me Crazy

 Oh wow I'm tired!  Gotta say, these other crafts I'm picking up are a lot more tiring that crocheting is!  

It's a rainy and very cold day here today.  I decided to sit down and try to see if I can figure out how to start make the Amish toothbrush rag rug I've been wanting to try.  It was between this and making the rug with another braided method I saw on You-Tube.  I may still try that way and see which I like better.  I had a false start and took it out and started over but once I got it, it is pretty easy.  

I did not crochet at all today.  I cut out some 10 inch squares from fabric and batting to attempt to make the bowl cozies.  I made my first one last week and was pretty proud of myself.  

It's not perfect and has some flaws.  Let's see how I do on the next ones.  I have enough material to make a few.

I went to the thrift store on Friday and found fabric there!  Cheap!  I tried to sew a bag on Saturday with a crochet square sewed to it.  It was a disaster.  I ruined my squares and got so confused.  BUT my Bernina sewing machine sewed through the material and the crochet squares, even the thick parts with NO problem.  So now I know that this machine with have no issues with combining my crafts.   Here's the material that I got.

Now here are the completed crochet projects I have finished in the past week or so.  





Getting ready for the craft market in a couple of weeks!
