Happy Birthday to my sweet Michael!
♥Mommy loves you buddy!!!♥

Freebie Friday.........

::: (\_(\
*: (=’ :’) :*
•.. (,(”)(”)¤°.¸¸.•´¯`» Good Morning •¨¯`• 

Hope all is well with everyone!  We're busy getting ready for Christmas! 
Today will be errand day and gift shopping.... tomorrow...an all day wrestling meet...Sunday..family day....getting tons done around the house!


Today's Freebie is going to be a tutorial for the slippers I've been making lately!  I've had a few ladies not understand the written instruction completely.. so thought I would put out a few pictures to help.

This is the 8th pair of slippers I've made since last month!

I anticipate making many many more next year!!!

Pattern can be found HERE

This is the beginning of the toe.  (bad lighting... sorry!)

This is the beginning of the foot part

And now we have the part that seems to cause an issue for some... the heel

the pattern says............. ch 11

The pattern reads like this....

Row 1: Using both loops, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each of next  9 ch; sc in each of next 20 (25 - 25) sc; sc in each ch on opposite side of beg ch; ch 1, turn.

You will sc down one side of the ch 11 .... around the foot.... and back up the other side of the ch11

And now in back loop only you will turn and sc back down to the foot... around and back up.... it will start to look like this............

work in this manner for  the rows required for the size you're  making......

Coming to the end ..... slip stitching it close...... and you're done.

And there ya go............ make a second one and now you have a wonderful pair of slippers to keep your feet warm!!!

I sure hope this helped.  If you have more questions... please ask.. I'd be happy to answer them!

Off to get my boys movin' for the day!

Its biscuits and gravy morning at school.... YUM!!!

Have a wonderfully blessed day!!

Freebie Friday.............

A quick recap on why this pattern was created.............

Okay... so here's the deal.................. The boys sit in the living room and play on their laptops... or do homework... or just hang out... they will toss a box of tissues around as one of them need it. Michael will need a tissue... they are sitting next to Patrick... so he tosses the box to him...etc. Well.. recently ... they started just using a roll of toilet paper instead. Its easier to toss and catch.... As I sit and watch this ..... not really bothered by the tossing of the tissue... because they are just boys being silly..... I'm thinking... "hmmm.... would be nice to have that roll contained so it didnt unravel as it flew threw the air." So............................... I made it a cover. Its like a draw-string bag in design... made with the "granny square" style pattern. I pulled the cardboard center out of the toilet paper roll... and tah dah......................

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Granny Toilet Tissue Cover

Yarn: Any scrap worsted weight yarn you have:

Skill level:

Other items needed: yarn needle, letter opener or butter knife, scissors, roll of toilet paper
Stitches used: chain (ch) – slip stitch (sl st) – double crochet (dc)

With “I” hook - ch 5 – join to form ring with sl st.
Rnd 1: ch 3 (counts as 1st dc) 2dc, ch1 – *3dc, ch1* - *repeat 4 more times* sl st in top of ch3 tie off. (6 dc granny clusters 6 ch1 sp)
Rnd 2: join next color with sl st in ch1 sp – ch3, 2dc, ch1, 3dc (all in same sp) *ch1– 3dc, ch1, 3dc in next ch1 sp* - *repeat 4 more times* - sl st in top of ch3. tie off (12 dc granny clusters 12 ch1 sp)
Rnd 3: join next color with sl st in ch1 sp. – ch3, 2dc, ch1 – 3dc in next ch1 sp and in each around – sl st to top of ch3. tie off. (12 dc granny clusters 12 ch1 sp)
Rnd 4 – 12: join next color with sl st in ch1 sp. – ch3, 2dc, ch1 – 3dc in next ch1 sp and in each around – sl st to top of ch3. tie off. (12 dc granny clusters 12 ch1 sp)
Rnd 13: join next color with sl st in ch1 sp – ch3, 2dc, ch1 3dc in same sp – 3dc, ch1, 3dc in next ch1 sp…. and in each around. – join with sl st in top of ch3 – finish off. (24 dc granny clusters 12 ch1 sp)

Tuck in all ends.

Tie (revised): With F hook ch 90 – tie off…weave chain tie in and out around the top of round 13 in the ch1 sp(s) and in between the granny clusters. Place toilet roll tissue in after removing the cardboard center. Draw up ends of yarn ties as in a draw string bag and tie in bow.

To remove cardboard center………. I used a letter opener … you could use a butter knife also. Slip it in between the cardboard and tissue where its attached. Move it gently around the cardboard center until the tissue is released from it. Take scissors and cut a long slit in the cardboard…making it easier to twist and lift out. Remove cardboard and find center of tissue … pull gently out to expose it to be used.
