Crochet Catch Up
Yes, I’ve been in a major crochet slump. I can’t even remember when I last picked up a hook. I feel like I’m finally back in the mood for crochet and thought I’d do a quick little catch up of …
FO Friday – Slytherin Baby Blanket
I absolutely love this pattern! Darleen Hopkins’ Picture Perfect Baby Blanket. This must be the fourth one I’ve made. This time in Slytherin colors using Simply Soft. It has a beautiful drape and makes a perfect floor time play mat …
FO Friday – Shark Baby Booties
Hurray, I finally finished something! Actually I finally figured out this shark slipper pattern. I tried making a pair last year but got so frustrated with the pattern I tossed it aside until recently. My sister asked if I could …
FO Friday – Afghans
Ugh, I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve visited. I guess I’ve just been in a major slump. I’ve not felt like crocheting anything. Nothing new has caught my eye. I look at yarn and go “meh”. But …

WIP Wednesday – Dachshund blanket
I’m going to admit that I haven’t been doing too much crochet for quite awhile now. My schedule was extremely hectic and I either didn’t have time or was just too darned tired. I’ve made a couple of changes and …

More Crochet Play Food Done
I seem to have gotten into somewhat of a crochet slump. No new projects, not even really finishing up old WIPs and UFOs other than more play food. This bunch was finished up last month. The pumpkin pie was so …
FO Friday – Shawls and a lapghan
Oh my God! I can’t believe I finally finished one project, not to mention three. It has been so long since I’ve finished anything. I have been working here and there on various projects but never enough to actually finish …
WIP Wednesday – Started something new yet again
Yep, I started a new project. But in my defense it is something that my daughter has been asking me to make for several years now. She wants a large filet crochet wall hanging similar to one I made many, …
WIP Wednesday – can you say startitis?
I may have mentioned before that I have a terrible condition called “startitis”. It seems I am always starting a project and never finishing it. It was embarrassing enough to showcase all of my WIPs and UFOs earlier and now here …
