Snow Cap

Made a new beanie/hat for myself. Pattern by Brittany Waterhouse.

Got a paper cutter for Christmas. Well, actually I got two. Very excited to get my paper craft on. Found these adorable cards and many others on Pinterest.

Little birds. Can turn them into hair clips, pins, or sew them onto other items like hats, blankets, gloves, coffee cozies, headbands, etc. Very cute for Valentines day too since their wings are heart shaped.

Beards!

I've been crocheting beards! One for Dale, so he could dress up as our office manager, John, at Canyonview. Picture below is of him posing in front of John's door. Plus three more beards for the interns so they could be the wise men for the Love Nativity (picture coming soon). Good times.

Braided Cuff

My friend Jessi and I saw a pin on Pinterest of a cuff that was crocheted and then braided, but there was no pattern. Of course Jessi was determined to figure it out and she did. Its super comfortable to wear and looks awesome. How awesome is she?! I'm hoping she'll be able to write up a pattern so I can make them too. Here's a pic:

Earrings!

Looking at my jewelry collection I've noticed that the number of earring sets I own has grown substantially in the past year or two. It's almost as bad as my scarf collection. Ok, who am I kidding, it's worse. They are just so fun and affordable!

If you go to a jewelry party and money is tight, you're not likely walking out of there with a necklace (too expensive), a bracelette (which don't always work on their own), and a pin is not "practical" enough. But earrings, now you're talking. You can even justify the purchase because you're getting more for your buck because it's two pieces unlike a necklace which is only one piece.

So you can understand why I just had to make these as soon as I saw the pattern (see picture below). Lita is showing off her new crochet hoops I made her as a "seminar roommate gift" back in August.

I'll update this post later with the link to the pattern later. If you can't wait you can find it on my Crochet & Crafts board on Pinterest. If you don't crochet and want a pair of your own I can make them for you for $10 (free shipping). Just let me know what color and if you want small, med, or large hoops.

Butterfly Hair Clips

New Items!

Butterfly Hair Clips!

Butterflies are crocheted with embroidery thread and hair clips are covered with ribbon.

I'm selling these little guys for $4/pair.

Customize your own: choose the color of the wings (one color), body, and ribbon.

I can also make them as pins or even earrings (same price/pair).

Not into butterflies?

Also available: hearts, flowers, and plain clips with patterned ribbon.

I'm also open to requests, but cannot guarantee I'll be able to create what you come up with.

Pink & Red

Here is the last scarf I made for the Equestrian Students at Canyonview this year.

it was for Danna's birthday (she loves pink). Click here for the pattern. 

I used two different shades of pink at the same time.

This red chain scarf I made for my dear friend Jessi. I should have made the "handle" smaller, but still cool either way. Click here for the pattern to make your own.

I'm currently working on a baby blanket. As soon as I'm done I'll post pictures and the pattern.
