Angel Baby Afghan, Oatmeal Scarf and Owl Tote Bag

I am very proud of this first item. It's an angel afghan. I got the pattern in one of the crochet magazines. It was a nice pattern to work up and I really like the finished product!



Next is a scarf - of course! The pattern is called "Fearless" and I found it on line.



And last for today is an Owl Tote bag. I also found this pattern in one of the crochet magazines. It even has two inside pockets as well! Great eye catching tote for you or a child!



Oh and I just got the sweetest gift from a fellow crochet member. A tote bag from the Cafe Press website - it's a canvas tote bag - and the graphic on it says "I'm working on my PhD" and then below "Projects Half Done!" I love it! And it is so true I'm always working on half done things!

Be back soon with more finished projects.

New Layout

I have a new layout on my blog - I love it! Hope you do too! But to see all the pictures within a post you will need to click on the Title line of the post for it to show you the entire post! Thanks. Hope you like it as much as I do!

Scarf, Tiny Blanket, Cupcake Bear, and a Gift!

I do love coming up with titles for these posts! Never know what or how to say it so hope it makes you smile!

Today I am sharing a scarf I made - the yarn is Boucle - I never worked with it before - it is lovely, soft, and so warm. I held two strands one blue and one brown together - I think it came out very pretty. Just a double crochet nothing fancy wanted the yarn to show.



Second is a little tiny blanket I made - could be a preemie or a doll blanket. It's soft pink with little filet hearts.



Third is the Diamond Point Blanket. I love making this pattern it really showcases pretty colors of yarn. Sorry to say the color doesn't show well in this picture. It is lavender - Red Heart's lavender.

Fourth is my Cupcake Bear - I finally got a picture a of him. I got his pattern from All About Ami



And finally is a picture of the gifts I received from my Friends Group on Yahoo. Starlett sent me these lovely dishcloths and the most wonderful and beautiful scarf.



I'll be back soon with more!

Tom Turkey and Loaf Pan Tote

Just two items today that I finished. The first is a little amigurami - he is called Tom the Turkey. It was so much fun to make this little guy - and very easy too!

You can find the pattern at Gobble Gobble

I got two pictures of him - front view and back view so you can see the colors of his tail!

Front View - Tom the Turkey



Back View - Tom the Turkey



Next is a little loaf pan tote I made for an exchange. I am going to add the glass pyrex dish to it (a new one - giggle this is mine) and a box mix for a loaf cake. I think she will like it - well at least I hope she will!

You can find the pattern Load Pan Tote

I did two views one so you can see how it looks when you hold and carry the tote. The second view shows the tote open.





Thanks for looking.

A Fairy Tale - Crochet of course

I just visited this adorable blog today - what a great blog. I found this adorable little fairy tale and had to share a link to it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Crochet Hook Fairy Tale

I've got more stuff to share soon - just need to get pictures taken.

Halloween Items and Cup Caddy

Here are some more items I've worked up lately.

The first is a little Halloween basket, with a ghost and bat! All the items were free on line - I just looked for Halloween crochet patterns. Sorry the picture is so dark.



Next is a Cup Caddy. You can use it for hooks, pens, pencils, tools, etc. I am really happy with the way they came out and I have a bunch more to make!!

The pattern can be found at Ravelry here - Cup Caddy

First is a picture of the two with items with nothing in them.



Next is a picture of just the yellow one with some items in it so you can see how they can be used.



And next is a picture of just the blue one. This one gave me a little bit of trouble, the yarn was nubby so I had a hard time finding some of the stitches to work into! But it all worked out in the end. Again with items so you can see it's versatility.



Be back soon with more, of course.
