Wow, already a month+ into the YOP and I don't have anything to show except for some yarn! I guess I'd better get on the ball (or skein if you will). I honestly don't know how much will get done these next few weeks as its all work this week then next week we are in New Orleans, LA -- Any LYS I should check out? But maybe I will bring some YOP stuff to work on while in NOLA. Short & sweet, now I have to go crochet a pig & a hat :-)

Come Blog-a-Long with us and see what others are doing throughout the year! 

FO Friday, 7.27.12

So I had posted this from my phone, or so I had thought, now there is no draft even of it on here let alone a post.

Oh well! Here is my FOs for this week

 A little Owl named Maria

 A hat for my California girl Brady -- She loved it so much she slept in it.

 A Baseball hat for Mr. Charlie Man -- Brady's brother Luke also got one -- will get a picture up once I get one.

A wine cozy for my aunt's 60th b-day.

All FOs were for family besides the Owl, had a great time at our little family reunion! Here is the whole gang:

We range in age from 13 months to 94 years. <3


Linking up with Tami's Amis as usual :-)

WIP Wednesday, 7.25.12

Believe it or not I have NO amigurumi's to share this week. That's because I finished one yesterday and don't have the right yarn for the next one. But that doesn't mean that I don't have anything to share!

I started this wine bottle cozy for my aunt to hold a nice bottle of wine for her 60th which is tomorrow. However I have since frogged it, I really didn't like how the colors were working with the cables -- you can hardly see them! Live & learn right? So I will start again shortly with a solid color. I'm thinking purple or green, I may have to flip a coin.

I also started the Spring Training Cap from the March/April issue of Crochet Today! Right now it's just a white circle of DC. I will show you it all finished on Friday, perhaps even with a picture of Charlie wearing it!!

That's it for me for today, have some cleaning and packing to do, we are beach bound for a few days to spend with the family in celebration of my aunt's 60th!!

Check in with other WIPs over at Tami's Amis!

Maria the Owl

Maria is a shy but brilliant little owl. Possibly from asking "Whoooo?" all the time. 

Maria was made using the Nelson the Owl pattern by Fresh Stitches

Pretty much love all of Stacey's patterns! Made her with white, heather grey, teal & orange acrylic yarns from my stash. Used my first set of Suncatcher Eyes (Go-Go-Maine-Crafters!)

Want me to make you you're very own owl? Check out Maria on Etsy!
