My latest Beanie Yah Man!

I was asked to make a jamaican beanie for a friend and I found this pattern from the book Men who knit and dogs that love them. I made the colors jamaican colors and just loved the dreadlocks! I didn't start the dread locks closer to the brim as instructed I just liked them to come off the top of the head to make it look funkier. I think this would be cute to make a child or adult (that acts like a child) a Birthday hat to wear on their special day with color of a cake or cupcake. My husband already requested one in the AZ Cardinals colors but with longer dreads. See what a mean about a child? haha.It was fun and easy.More to come.....

An Early Valentine gift for a friend

I just love making these wrist warmers. There are so many creative ways to make them. I made these for a good friend for her to wear at work. See if you can guess where she works. They match her shirt and the dog on the bag is a hint.lol Hope she loves them!

Button Tab Hat

This is my first knitted hat. I got the pattern off i-like-lemons.blogspot.com. I chose green because lately it is my favorite color. I used an antique gold button just to make it look a little more vintage.

Helmet liner

I made this project for my husband. It is a helmet liner. The pattern was free at Michaels by Patons. I used Pymouth Yarn Fantasy Naturale 100% cotton. color 9007. I got it at Quilted Cactus in Surprise, AZ. I love working with this yarn it reminded me of embroidery floss. It was a level 2 project so I am proud I was able to complete it. On to the next Project!

Shhhh! Valentines gift for my little nieces Mamas.

I found these cute little $1 clipboards at Target. I was just thinking of all the endless possibilities I could do with these. So I put two of my little cute nieces on each one with their intial. I used silk flowers, beads, cricut patterns,and ribbon. Hope they love their gifts.xoxo

My first completed Pair!

Of Socks! Yes my friend at the knitting meetup showed me how to make socks! I was so excited to finish. Yes, it took me many times to get this down but finally the light bulb went off in the head. Thanks Winni for being so patient with me. You are a knitting Diva in my book.

Riley at Starbucks

I took my little niece to Starbucks one morning because when I used to babysitt her we would go meet the ladies every Tuesday morning. I think she really liked it. I would order her a strawberry frapp and a piece of Lemon Pound Cake. I just loved all the facial expressions she made in this set of pictures. I knew right away I wanted to make a book shaped like a coffee cup with all her pictures. She looked so much like a little lady gossiping at the coffee shop. I finally finished this project that I have had on my mind since June when the photos were taken. I couldn't find chip board shaped like a coffee cup for this so I used gift boxes. I cut the shape out and covered it with card stock. I picked browns and vintage looking paper. I inked the edges of the pages and on the torn cardstock.I added a ring and some ribbon and used a couple of the little starbucks gift cards that are so cute.Riley, Samuel and I had a good visit at Starbucks.
