baggy funky hat


This is my new craze. Love these funky hats. They look best with hoop earrings and big sunglasses! They're super easy and fun. Let me know if you want one!

homespun jacket


I love this sweater. It was supposed to have a scarf around the collar, but I plan to put buttons on the front. The yarn has purples and greens as well as the red, so it looks awesome with lots of outfits.

custom striped dress



This is a completely custom dress that I made for a friend. The shaping was extremely easy and it was so fun to create.

Red White Doily


Just a little doily I made with scrap thread.

Lelah's Tube Top


I got this pattern off of Ravelry! Loooove it! My first wearable. I actually learned something while making this: ssk....what the heck is that, right? As a crocheter, the abbreviation is usually for one step only, so this took a while to figure out. Otherwise, the finished product is well worth ripping out 12 rows and redoing it!
Put this in your ravelry queue!

Mom's Bedspread



I started making this blanket after I had Jackson and decided that I wanted to give it to my mom for her birthday. Two years later she finally got it for X-mas last year. It took 260- some odd squares and I don't even know how many skeins of yarn. It also has ribbon weaved through the trim. It fits a queen size bed nicely. I don't think that I will be making another one of these any time soon, but if the money's right...

bear and ripple blanket


I made the bear for my nephew as a welcome to the world present. The blanket was for X-mas. It's a round ripple.

Amurugumi Owl


I love this owl. This is also out of Crochet Today! Really fun and simple. I love making stuffed animals. They make awesome gifts, but I just couldn't part with this one! The eyes were actually very easy to find at Michael's. Just ask the lady where the doll eyes are. Now that you mention it, the Michael's staff is super knowledgable. I've asked them for the most bizarre items and they know what aisle and shelf!

Filet Sachet


I got the pattern out of Crochet Today. I filled it with a jasmine potpurri. It smells wonderful. I sent it to my Meme for X-mas last year. I was told that she loved it. It was actually fairly easy to make. I wonderful beginner filet project, as I am pretty crappy with filety!
