Crochet Baskets

I have loved making these little crocheted baskets for the last few months! I don't even really need them or have any real purpose for them I just think it's theraputic to make them! I can come home from a long day at work and whip out one of these cute little baskets and I just think it's relaxing I guess...or something...and stuff...

You can get the tutorial HERE at the Design Sponge DIY blog.

THIS yarn works great and is super affordable. You can find it at JoAnns, Michaels, Hobby Lobby and probably Wal Mart if yours hasn't taken out the craft section like ours! So disappointing...

Another Project

So since we really haven't been going on any trips or doing anything involving pictures and we don't have any cute kiddos to talk about I am forced to show you another project.

Right before Christmas I bought this super cutie pattern from this Etsy shop: Little Projects (Love it!)

So I made one...

and then I couldn't stop, so I made three more...(That dark grey one looks funky just cause the brim is folded under, come to think of it they all look sort of weird but they are really cute on)
and I have the yarn and buttons to make about 4 more...

There we go with the self control thing again. I have come to the conclusion that I like multiples. That's probably why I ended up in Colorado Springs. Did you know that Colorado Springs has 9, count them 9 Wal Marts, 3 targets, more churches than you ever though could have existed and 2 malls (3 if you count the Promenade Shops at Briargate). That my friends is nutty especially for the size town it is...but I like it. OK?

Crochet Ear Warmer

Call me an old lady if you want but I love to CROCHET. It's so theraputic and relaxing. Seriously, you should try it...For reals...I'm cereal...

N-E-WAYZ...While we were at my parental units house in California over Christmas I finished a couple crochet projects. One of them was this nifty little ear warmer that I thought I would share with you all. I found the pattern in one of my mom's Crochet Today magazines. I'm not sure which issue it was in but probably the November or December. The magazine is pretty much awesome and has tons of really super easy projects to try. You can also download projects off their website. So here is the finished product...

Thanks a bunch Mom for helping me with the stitching on the side and also a big thanks to Aunt Pam on getting that pom pom maker to work!! Love you guys!
