Update On Things...

WOW!

 I can't believe its been almost a year since my last post.  So much has happened in the past year that I hardly have time to crochet, let alone blog about it lol

I have managed to squeeze in a few projects here an there...I kinda went a little hat/beanie crazy for about a week or so and I just made one more a few days ago.  They are my go-to project.  I enjoy something fast and that I can get done within a few hours.  I just wish I could perfect it so they come out the right size every time!

I really wish I could find a mentor around my area to help my master the things I want.  I have a pretty good grasp, and I can read patters, but I MUST be doing something wrong, oh well lol

I am in the process of trying to use up all my yarn that I have stored away.  I would really love to buy more, but I have no room for it and seriously, whats the point in buying more if I never use it?

So, I am determined to get a lot of things finished before I buy more yarn.  And I am dying to try I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby.  They have so many colors to chose from which is so much more that the Impeccable Solids from Michaels that I have been using.

Pinterest has been my go to for finding patters and ideas for new stuff to create.  I have some pretty neat things on there.  Here is a link to my crochet bored of awesomeness! 

My Pinterest Crochet Board

If you know of or have any interesting boards from pinterest let me know in the comments, I would love to find lots of new projects to add!

Hopefully I can start adding more to my finished projects page soon :)

Yarn Haul!!

So, I have come to the realization that I have a serious yarn problem!  My bedroom floor is now covered in yarn, as well as my closet and a duffle bag.  At least they all were on sale when I bought them.  

Michaels was having a door buster sale last week and had their Loops and Threads Impeccable on sale for $1.88 a skin! And today they had them 2 for $6 as well as Red Heart Soft.  So I treated myself.  I also got some Lily's Sugar and Cream yarn at Jo-Ann Fabric for $2.36 a skin ( it was the super size ), normally $2.99 plus I got 20% off the entire purchase...SCORE!

Now that I have all this yarn, I MUST get to work on my projects.  I am going to start the baby blanket today ( I have to start over, the one I started got lost in my move into my new house ) Hopefully it goes by fast.  And while I am working on that I need to whip up two owl's for my daughter's first birthday party.  And I need both projects done at the same time! Look's like I am going to be busy :)
