Squares

Here are some square I made yesterday to send out for various comfortgans. The took about an hour to make each, so you can see I spent at least 4 hours yesterday crocheting. The rest of the day was spent wondering around IKEA to get furnishing ideas and BestBuy looking for a washer.

Orange!!!

For some reason I was in an orange kind of mood this past week. I made 3 things that were orange! I guess considering what they are it kind of made sense, and for the cupcake that looks like an ice cream cone, I was too lazy to find another color.






Here's some pieces of the 8-Pocket tote I've been working on. Now all the pieces are complete, just have to assemble and make a lining.





And, speaking of linings. Here's the linig for the Piano purse. I still haven't sewn it in, I like to wait forever to finish the last bit of a project, not really sure why though!





Those are all the pictures I've got at the moment. I just finished a Circle Geometric Baby...guess what color!?!? ORANGE!!! and black. I'm also ready to start decorating for Halloween, but we've got a house to rearrange first, maybe I'll get some pics of the way it is now, and then take some during the process, and after it's completed. We'll be starting with moving our bedroom to another room in the house. This process will probably start on Monday, after we figure out what to do with the extra bed in the room we want our bedroom. Then, we've gotta empty everything else out and move our bed in and 2 dressers. It will be an ongoing process, but hopefully it wont take too long.

Butterflies, Cake, and more!

Been working on lots of different crochet projects as usual. Got several projects completed, and still more in the works!


Here's a wedding cake I finished in two days for the wedding this coming Sunday.







My boyfriend and I are also working on a kitchen set for the rest of the present. I made hotpads and designed a napkin ring. I've still got 3 more napkin rings to make, and Chris is working on knitting placemats and has 3 more to make. I hope we get everything done in time!








My shopping spree. I got lots of goodies on clearance at Michael's and AC Moore.





The goodies I got from my Accessories Swap Partner. I've been using the lovely pink purse all the time!





And of course a whole arsenal of Butterflies!







Don't forget these cute toys for the Toy Drive.







A cute little knit baby hat! My first major knit project aside from a scarf for last Christmas.

New Pics of Projects!

Finally updating. I haven't been doing much other than crocheting, house hunting, and slowly working on my thesis.

Here's my progress so far with crocheting. Lots of pictures!

The Pink Tank that I've been working on forever. The majority of it ws finished a long time ago. My boyfriend recently finished the lining. Didn't he do a spectacular job? No i just need to add straps to it. I was hoping it wouldn't need it, but turns out it does. So that will probably take another few months!










The Music Purse





Change purse for the Music Bag, before felting.




Purple Belt I designed







Pillows









Dishcloth I made when I started crocheting again a couple years ago.





Capelet I made, not sure what I'm doing with it yet. Might keep it for myself or give it to my sister.



Bracelets my sister and I made a couple weeks ago



Squares Blanket - made it up as I went. Still need to write up a pattern for it.





Piano Purse - needs handles and lining







Pink and Blue Purse








Still can't believe it's been so long since I've updated my blog!

Yarn Quiz

I found out about this quiz on Crochetville.

What Kind of Yarn are You?

Baby AlpacaYou are beautiful and soft, if sometimes a little difficult. Nothing but the best for you, etc. Quality, but out of the league for the rabble.
Take this quiz!

What I've been doing Lately

I have been getting a lot of crocheting done lately since I've been doing nothing else.

A couple squares for a special ghan. It will be revealed sometime probably in September, then I'll give more details. The one on the left is from the 63 Cables book. The one on the right, I made up as I went.





I practiced my Tunisian Crochet Color changes and made a dishcloth or washcloth. Not sure what to do with it yet.





Another dishcloth I made after realizing I had some Black cotton in my stash as well. I've made 15 before this out of red, cream, dark and light blue for Circle Of Friends on Crochetville.





I made a few fridgies for my fridgie swap partner on Yahoo! Groups as well.





I also organized my stash finally. I went through everything and put it in this big tote, except the scrap yarn balls I've got that are in the clothes basket. Still trying to figure out what to do with them. I guess I'll have to start a scrap ghan soon.





Here's a close up of the fancier stuff that I've got.





Here's my favorite yarn in my stash. I've just gotta figure out what to do with it now.







I've also been designing a purse, making jewelry, and working on my Flag Ghan.

Been too long

Went on vacation last week. I'll have to get some pics to post. We went to Hot Springs Village, AR for my boyfriends family reunion. I had a blast! It was lots of fun and there was only a little bit of tension in the house twice maybe. We did a lot and spent a lot of time together. That was the first time I got to meet that side of his family, and it was truly awesome.

Haven't been doing much lately. Trying to plan a meeting with my advisor at school. Also trying to figure out how to get to/from and where to stay in New York. I've gotta go to Columbia to use their equipment since the stuff we have isn't working properly (story of my life). Hopefully it will all be figured out by the end of the week, so I can get started next week. I need to get this DONE!

That's all for now, time to crochet, eat, then sleep.
