Dish cloths

A staple of my gift-giving are dish cloths.  I have found a really great pattern that I enjoy making for a thick dishcloth that has lots of grooves so it can pick up lots of stuff while wiping counters or cleaning the dishes.  They are quick and easy to whip up. 

Baby Hats, Diaper Cover and Some Booties

My friend asked me if I could make some baby hats for her nephew on the way.  So we picked some super cute patterns and yarn and I got to work. 

She wanted a giraffe hat, diaper cover and matching hat for big brother. She also wanted a sleeping owl hat for new baby.

I was so excited for this cute project that I got started right away.

The first baby hat and diaper cover were done quickly.  I snuck in some baby booties to matched the giraffe colours.  However, I forgot to take a picture of the booties.  :(

 

The other hats are on their way.

Moved!

Ok, so now I have moved into my new home.  I am so anxious to get back to crocheting since my yarn has been packed away for so long.  I will show you my new crafting space once it has many fewer boxes in it.  But for now, lots more unpacking and organizing to go.  I hope to show you some crocheting in the next little while!

Homeless and Happy

So we are officially homeless now.  Our old home closed on Monday and the new home closes on Friday.  Being in limbo is strange.  But it does give me some time to crochet... If only I could remember what box the yarn was in.

Moving Soon!

9 days until we no longer own our first home.  The pressure is on!  I will be taking a little break from blogging/crochet until we get into the new house.  I am kinda forced to since my yarn is all packed away.  :( 
My WIP baby blanket will have to be finished in May as well as my WIP daffodil wreath. 
I am excited for the time ahead and hope the move is not too stressful.  Once we get into the new home I will have a craft room all to myself.... well that is my plan but the hubby has been talking about a joint craft/office space.  We will see.
