One down..

One project finished!

I was blessed with plenty of quiet time today, comforting Pey (she doesn’t feel well, isn’t quite herself) and took advantage of the cuddle/quiet time.

I would have loved to have been sitting at sewing machine, making something cute..

But I did get something done today.

I’d say I really enjoyed it too!

To Bonnie, with love..

My sweet cousin Bonnie asked a question a couple of posts ago..
“Mindy! Do you take requests? I would love some crochet hints if you are posting something about crochet again. Like, how do you properly start a new color of yarn? In my crochet class I was showed 2 ways and I am a little confused. I love this afgan you are starting!
Oh yeah, thats what it is, how to join yarn when you run out vs how to start a new color in a planned spot...”
Here ya go Bonnie!

Mish-Mosh

What to do with all that yarn, you know, just the remnants?
Not enough to make another beanie..
Not enough to make a sock..
Not near enough to make a whole afghan..
No probable scarves here..
Unless….
You combine them all!
Here’s my afghan so far:

It’s fun working with all these different colors, textures, and sizes of yarn.
It is even more fun remembering what projects they were used on.

We've been making this and making that.....

Had a sleepover with the cousins last night.
3 of the 4 have new American Girl dolls, so we made girl and doll PJ pants.
Matching PJ pants.
(I will have to share the pattern when I finish tweaking it..)

I also taught Lynnie-lou to crochet tonight!!!
It is so satisfying that these things are being handed-down..  it's even nicer that SHE asked me to show her how.

She was sad to leave it for bedtime, but it was a must..  she was so tired today FOR SOME REASON... ;)
I have a feeling that tomorrow will be a fun day.

Finished projects!

House-warming gift:Card for house-warming gift:
Found a new purpose for those darling hair clips!
(Christie already knew about this one... I thought I was a genius!)
I finished Peyton's scarf today at Super-Saturday...
Tried a scallop edge instead of tassles this time.
I also got another skeleton onesie done (thanks for the fabric Brookers!) and it turned out so cute!
Now onto those taggie blankets and Halloween costumes...
