He was made to donate to the Maine Children's Cancer Program. This is the second year I will be jumping into the frozen Sebago lake to raise funds for MCCP. This year, for every $10+ donation I will make a stuffed animal to donate to the kids at the MCCP. A Boston Strong Bear was requested that I make by the person who made the first donation, he asked for a Boston Strong something, so I thought a Polar Bear would be fitting since it is for a Polar Dip :-)<br />

Well the time has come to reveal one of them! My aunt had asked me to fix a granny square afghan for my cousin. What I didn't realize until after getting it and talking with my aunt more was that this afghan was made for my aunt when she was a teenager and it was made by her grandmother -- my great grandmother. Finding this out made it that much more special for me to work on!<br />
Here are the before images of the squares that needed to be fixed:<br />

I don't know if the original main color was off-white to begin with or got that way with age, but trying to match it was near impossible, so instead I used straight white for the main color on my squares. This way you can see the old ones vs. the new ones. I like it this way, then my cousin can know which ones I did and the ones our great-grandmother did.</div>

This week I also started & finished a little dog as an order for my friend Sarah. Here is that little guy, I think I will name him Hudson. He is a <a href="http://www.freshstitches.com/dog/">Fresh Stitches</a> pattern and oh so cute. Done in Bernat Super Value in Walnut and a mystery Marden's dark chocolate brown.</div>

Still working on a few super secret projects. Seriously thought I would be done with them by now but life happens, and seems to happen more in the summer time. Have also had a few shoots that I have been working on, I will share some from a shoot I just completed editing on Friday. Also thinking of doing a photo project this year. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Time to put the phone down and work on a super secret project so I can cross something off my list and get it to its recipient so I can then show you the pictures and spill the beans!</p>

Didn't get as much crochet time in since Wednesday as I thought I would. But its ok, we got a lot of stuff done on the house and got to spend quality time with my DH. He and his dad are currently working on the finishing touches on the kitchen flooring/trim. Next on the list is the counter tops, window trim & paint! Then with a little reorganizing it will be complete!</p>
<p dir=ltr>Okay enough blogging, time to use my fingers for some crochet.</p>

Worked on both of them this week and should have at least one finished by FO Friday, however I won't be able to show it until AFTER the recipient receives it, surprise remember...</p>
<p>In other news I got an order for one of my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/105153340/cheese-amigurumi?ref=cat_gallery_1">Cheese</a> stuffies so once my yarn gets in I will be working on that.</p>
<p>I also have had something happen that hasn't happened before to me since I've been crocheting. Remember the little monkey I have been working on but ran out of yarn? </p>
<p>Well I went to get more yarn and my LYS didn't have that color way, so I went online. Couldn't find it there either because it is DISCONTINUED!!! So now I have a monkey missing two and a half arms and tail! <br>
:'(</p>
<p>So what do I do in this case? Frog him and start over with another color? Do the legs & tail in a different color? Try to track down some of the yarn? </p>
<p>If anyone has any in their stash and would be willing to share, the yarn is Bernat Super Value in Rustic Heather. All I need about a half skein if that. </p>
<p>In other non-crochet WIP news I came home from work to a WIP. </p>
<p>My husband is on vacation this week and has been keeping busy! </p>

<br />
Probably was my two least productive crochet months since I learned how to crochet in January, 2012.<br />
<br />
First we had a butterfly:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-G7xHhQjaf8eLZ5f8DNYJidQQG0cItXBGFMtGrVPoDso-O4_0JHjT-CXDbIqmb-GEzdcBn_EA4TcoxCRh88NJiw2rWYmHXVPRizO7Xm82cV51IzhTJ7Jga9mIzT39FtCqGRQsjN8R3K49/s1600/IMAG1202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-G7xHhQjaf8eLZ5f8DNYJidQQG0cItXBGFMtGrVPoDso-O4_0JHjT-CXDbIqmb-GEzdcBn_EA4TcoxCRh88NJiw2rWYmHXVPRizO7Xm82cV51IzhTJ7Jga9mIzT39FtCqGRQsjN8R3K49/s320/IMAG1202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
This was made for the daughter of a woman we bowl with. She wanted a butterfly and when I asked her what color she said Rainbow! I wanted a snuggly butterfly so I came up with my own pattern, if there is interested I would be willing to share it :-) Shayna (the little girl) apparently sleeps with it every night.<br />
<br />
Next we have a bunny:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This little guy was made from a<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/FiberDoodlesbyK4TT"> Fiberdoodles by K4TT </a>pattern. I had planned to get better photos of him and post him to Etsy just in time for Easter, however that is when my grandfathers health issues started up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also made a Turtle & Skunk (modified Bunny) from Fiberdoodles patterns and didn't even take a photo of them... I was not on the ball.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also made two shawls from <a href="http://www.caron.com/projects/ss_eco/sseco_pineapple_shawl.html">this pattern</a>. One was made in Bernat Satin for my grandmother as a prayer shawl and I made myself one from ArtYarns Cotton Spring in Color <a href="http://www.artyarns.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/1006_RHL.jpg">1006</a> which I got as my "tourist" yarn from my trip to Florida in February. I have not photographed my shawl yet, but here are some photos of my grandmothers.</div>

She really does love it. She called two nights in a row telling me about all the compliments she gets on it. I have to say, I like the one that I made her better than the one I made myself as the variegated yarn didn't lend itself too well to the pattern. I was however impressed with my ability to follow and finish this intermediate pattern easily, I guess my skills are improving :-)</div>

<br />
My grandfather was really ill and ended up passing away and since then I have just not been on the ball with the blog and have been a little slow on the crochet front as well. I hope to turn that around! Have some finished pieces to show you. Finished some others that I didn't take photos of (doh) and have been working on a secret project that I will be able to reveal once it is finished and the recipient receives it.<br />
<br />
Look out for more posts soon.KaitLavinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06632499655734909784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028670373940068431.post-84560261051332317372013-03-21T07:23:00.001-04:002013-03-21T07:24:44.422-04:00WIP Wednesday, 3.20.13<p>Yes it's Thursday and I'm a day late.

It's a snowy March day here. Probably the last storm of the season (maybe one more Ski day...) I have chicken stew in the crockpot, beer in the fridge and the day and night off. Thinking some TV & yarn crafts are in my future, that is until Kevin gets home, then it's time for a super yummy (hopefully) dinner and some quality time. I kind of improvised this recipe so I hope it's good! More like I hope Kevin likes it... he's quite the picky eater!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Katesie's Chicken Stew</u></b><br />5 Medium red potatoes, quartered<br />
8 oz baby carrots<br />
1 cup chopped celery<br />
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut in 1" cubes<br />
Pinch of Pepper*<br />
Dash of Garlic Salt*<br />
Sprinkle of Onion Powder*<br />
Smidge of Savory Herbs*<br />
(*Sorry I didn't measure these... use your best judgement...)<br />
32oz Chicken Stock<br />
16oz Bag of Frozen Mixed Veggies<br />
4 Oz. Onion & Chive Cream Cheese (at room temp)<br />
<br />
Combine potatoes, carrots, celery, Chicken & spices in crock pot. Cover with broth. Cook on high for 5 hours. At 5 hour mark add frozen veggies, cook for 50 mins, at this point stir in cream cheese and cook for 10 more minutes.<br />

I know what it is, and it's not a surprise to the recipient either, but can YOU guess what it is going to be?<br />

I had a lot of resting time on vacation like I had mentioned so I was able to actually work on something while watching tv -- although it didn't go quickly as I got tired easily -- I probably got more done because I was sick and inside instead of out and about actually enjoying myself. What's nice is that I have a finished project to share and it's NOT a stuffie AND it's for ME!!!

I really like it and will use it a lot. Was originally thinking of making it my project bag, but will have to line it if I keep with that thought as I could see myself loosing a lot of hooks that way.</div>

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's day! My husband & I will have to postpone our V-Day date seeing as I worked all day yesterday and when I mean all day I mean working 6am (leaving the house at 5am) to 3pm, driving the hour home, taking an hour nap then going to the bowling alley to waitress until 10pm (the regular waitress called out). Long ass day! But I don't need a special day to show Kevin how much I love him, so postponing doesn't bother me.<br />
<br />
So I didn't get much crochet work done yesterday either. However I did get to finish up and photograph two items to share with you today!<br />
<br />
One of the 3 penguins is finished!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used spare acrylic - Red Heart Super Saver in black, white & grey tweed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mystery Marden's Yarn in shiny hot blue</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and Everyday Soft in baby yellow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Used the momma penguin pattern from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Amigurumi-World-Seriously-Cute-Crochet/dp/1564778479/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1360937621&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=amigurumo">Amigurumi World</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also finished my special order Trash Can! This was a bit of a challenge with the stuffing of it, but I am happy to say that I found a solution in baby bumper pads! This way it is able to hold its shape without being too lumpy. The customer requested that I make it open on the inside so that things can be put inside, so the bumper pads helped with this too.</div>
