Headband

So I've been slacking a bit on my crochet.  I just love looking at and touching my yarn and I hate to crochet it up.  Yet I keep collecting patterns or thinking of designs.. it's such a vicious cycle.

Well I have done a bunch of tester patterns for Smoothfox.  She really is a great designer.  Here are some of her newest squares and coasters.

I whipped up a quick headband for myself today.

 I'm pretty proud of it as it was my first try.  All it is is a hdc band that I then sewed together and added a little flower motif so it wouldn't be too plain.  I'm going to try to make a few more in different stitches.  It feels good to be able to whip one up in abut 2 hours and then be proud to wear it :).

Well I have to run!  My 9 month old is calling.

Bad blogger, bad blogger

Ughh. I am around. Just procrastinating as usual. I have ordered a few crochet and knitting books so I will update on that as soon as they start coming in. Besides that nothing much is happening. I did do two more tester squares for Donna aka Smoothfox so I will post pictures later on tonight.

My goal is to finish Mr. Oops this weekend. Wish me luck on that with the boys and with this being Valentine's Day weekend.

Ollie has a twin :)

My sons met Ollie this morning and my 5 year old decided he wanted one. So everyone meet R2 the orange octopus (yes he's in a Star Wars phase).



And here are Ollie and R2 just hanging out together




More to come!!!!

Meet Ollie the Octopus

Ollie took me all day! Not because it was hard, but I have a tendency to have to stop to deal with my boys (5 and 8 months). I ended up doing most of my crocheting on this after they went to bed for the night.
It was fun and I'll definitely be making more in the future. Yay for first amigurumi projects!

I really need to hire someone to blog for me ;)

I am such a procrastinator when it comes to blogging.  Everyday I get up and say I'm going to post here and I don't do it.  Uggggh as if I really have something else to do these days.

Well the Spideyghan has been put on hold because I ran out of "I Love This Yarn"!  I had purchased the yarn for the pattern a few years ago when my 5 year old was MUCH smaller, so of course he's now to big for it and I will haveto make it bigger.  The closest Hobby Lobby is 40 minutes away so I guess I'll have to buy the yarn online.  But here's how his Spideyghan looks as of right now:

He's so excited about it so I hope to finish it soon.  Now I can't decide what to do next.  I'm testing a pattern for Donna aka SmoothFox and downloading more patterns than I'll ever be able to create in my lifetime.  My goal today is to finish the tester square for Donna and start on SOMETHING.  I guess we'll all be surprise by what I pick LOL!

Okay so here I am 12 days later... I really have to get better with posting.  Every night I tell myself I'm going to post and every night I do not do it.

I've started a spidey-ghan for my 5 year old.  I found it online, it's also on ravelry here .  I've been crocheting it for the past 2 days and I think I've made good progress for someone unpacking boxes and taking care of my boys.

As you can see I still have a way to go.  I hope to be done by Monday.  Then it's on to amigurumi!!
