a bit of a mind block...

i'm trying to decide what to crochet today...... i mean, i have a hat 70% done, but i'm just not sure of the color scheme yet, i mean i like it. but i don't know if i LOVE it. ah well. i will probably still finish and post it. i want to do another Keepcake too, any ideas for colors???


i'm glad i got to spend the morning with my favorite little munchkin, my niece Saige. she's a blast. we had fun coloring with these amazing neon markers that really pop on this special paper. it even had white, so i drew a bunch of Hello Kitties for her- and i drew kitty faces on our doctor masks we wore- she was still sick and we didn't want to pass germs. we just had a mellow day watching Despicable Me (twice in a row!) and some of Toy Story 3, in which she gets to 'be' both girls- Barbie and Jessie- and i get to be Buzz. jeeesh. i always have to be the boy. so i've started protesting and go for the animal role if there aren't two girls.

i've got to say, Despicable Me was hilarious. i recommend for those who haven't seen it.

ok, i'm off to finish laundry and continue crocheting!


i'll post some pictures tonight!

have your cupcake, and eat it too...

today, i've got two pictures. the one is the Keepsake Cupcake i made that you can put make up or jewelry in, or toys, all kinds of knick knacks. and the second picture is the hat i made for my husband last night. he needed one without ear flaps for work. i'm so glad it's friday, more time with my honey!

Keepcake for all your treasures!

The inside of the Keepcake.

Zachy's hat.

Here's my Picture for the Day, i took it last night. Zach's taking me to the car on piggy back, since it had just snowed.

i think they've got the alias that you've been living under...

i'm listening to the song Gloria, hence the title. well, to be completely honest, Zach has it on while he's lifting. i think he's gotten more into 80's music because of me. it's a great gift to give someone the gift of great music! haha. i'm having a great day today, so far. Zach decided he's going to make us chili tonight. i mentioned yesterday i was craving it. so he told me we could go to Chili's or have chili. and since we went to Chili's, tonight i get the other! he's such a sweetie.

the other awesome news i have is that my two friends, my sister Jill and best friend Katelyn started blogging, too! so we're the blogging babes now!

onto the next set of hat pictures, i suppose. once i get all the previously made hats up, i can just post the daily creation. maybe that's what i'll call them. Daily Crochet Creations. quick, what's that in a powerword? (i'm obsessed with doing powerwords, it's me and Zach's 'thing')...... let's see. Daily Crocheations! how about it?

This is the 'Dark Choco Mint Chip' beanie

'I Got the Blues' beanie

my Sweet niece Maylee in the 'Mellow Yellow Cake' beanie

She's so sweet, i had to post two!

Here's the twin hat, on Maylee's twin sister, but in green!

Gosh, i love these two cuties!

so i'm thinking...

i'm just going to post a segment of hats every day. because i don't want this blog to be just a huge glob of pictures to sift through. i think it'd be best to do them bit by bit, so it's not too overwhelming. what do you guys think? i'm so lame at this, i don't really know what would be best!

i think i'm gonna go to Chili's for dinner (Zach wants to go out), so i guess i'll be on here again later!!! hopefully the migraine goes away, cause that'll just dampen my mood. Zach's dad, James is gone for a couple days, and since we live here at the house with him, we're gonna have the house to ourselves for PARTY TIME!!! and a migraine just won't do.

oodles and oodles of beanies for your noodle!

more of my hats to display, while i can still see straight. i have the big migraine coming on. it's starting to be something to look forward to, i get migraines almost daily. hooray for me!

'Wearing my heart on my...Head' beanie. and my adorable niece, Leili!

She's perfected the scowl.....

But two seconds later, it's gone! haha. she's wearing the '100% Muppet Fur' beanie

*These are just some of my first hats, i'll post more in the morning (as you can see it's way too late to still be up, but insomnia is part of my artistic flair!). my style has evolved a bit, mostly just with the quality of my work, and the detail and designs that i can do. but i've stuck to the original idea of my hats, which is trying to make unique, funky, stylish hats that fit the personalities of each person i make them for! people, places, movies and music are the inspiration for anything i create!

the bed is calling my name, and well.....so is the yarn. i'm off to Crochet Land, GOODNIGHT!



i thought it would be fun (i have a friend that does this), to post a picture that i've taken, of anything, anyone.. as long as it's within the last 24 hours. a new one. every. single. day. so here's the first!

first timer...

this is the first time i've ever attempted to 'blog'. the only blogs i've ever been on are postsecret and some random person's. so i'm not really sure how this goes, but time will tell if i can get a hold on it.

i first just wanted to say hello! and mostly just get straight to the point of why i want to start this. i like to crochet. in fact, i love to crochet. so i wanted somewhere, besides my facebook, to post pictures of my creations, and have a history of them. i do not promise to add things daily, but i will promise to update often!

i first started to crochet when i was about 12. i got a third of the way into an afghan and i quit. then, 10 years later, on Thanksgiving of 2010, i picked it up again. thanks to the help and patience of my mom. she's a crocheting genius, so who better to learn from?! since then, i have made (and sold) several hats, gloves, baby cardigans, keepsake cupcakes (more on those later), and all kinds of on-the-spot Barbie clothes for my niece.

i hope to continue this craze for as long as i still love it. i crochet daily, and use my own patterns for 90% of my work. i joke that i have an addiction, or rather that i'm "hooked" on it. hehehehe. that was some gentle comedy, i know. anywho, i look forward to figuring out this new world of blogging and getting my stuff out there for people to see!

i get so wrapped up in yarn, i've passed it on to my cats! haha.
