cupcake top




This is my cupcake top from SNB. I was so impressed with it. However, when I went to go try it on, it did not fit around the hips. I had just got done reading the larger hook tutorial from CrochetMe, but alas, I had been working on my top for a while already. Anyway, I should have used a larger hook on the foundation chain because that was the only part that was too tight. The whole top fit perfectly and I loved it. So I gave it to my sister-in-law, who fits it perfectly. Ugh! I will make another one someday. It was such an easy pattern and worked up really fast. I used about 1 1/2 skeins of caron simply soft in new white.

my first FBB




This is the first FBB that I made. I wasn't too happy with the size. It's too small to put ANY essentials in it. My mother-in-law is lining it for me because I'm a big baby and she is waaaay better than me! She used to be a professional seamstress, so I trust her mor than myself. The purse is actually more of a fuschia color-- a brighter pink than in the picture.

This is a dress that I made from Interweave Crochet. It was a free pattern. It took about 3 months to make, but its so gorgeous and so worth it!
