Oh so cute...Cupcake Hat!

I fell in love with this pattern when I saw it on Etsy.  It is so easy to customize the colors and works up in a couple of hours.

I have not added the pom-pom yet (it makes it look like it has a cherry on top), but Gracie took the hat home :) so when she visits I will have to add it.

This is just such a fun way to use up scraps!

Check out the pattern on Etsy.  The Seller's Shop is YeahSureWhatever and the pattern sells for $4.00.

The pattern includes multiple sizes too!

Ripple Baby Blanket

This was a easy pattern, but not necessarily a fast one :) I used an H hook and Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Light Blue, Aran, and Coffee. It took about 15-20 hours, but for me that is about two weeks.

I made one of these for a baby shower, but someone saw it and wanted to buy it...so I had to make another!

Happy Crocheting!

I know...boy has it been a while! I have been crocheting, but finding it difficult to post. Here is a quick to make baby shower gift. It is made with two strands of yarn. I used Lion Brand Pound of Love in Ivory and Blue. This works up in about 4 hours and the pattern is so simple!!

More to come this week!

My First Published Pattern!

I finally did it! I finished a pattern and I will have it for sale in my Etsy  Shop - CrafteeGMom! I can't believe I finished it - between, work, school, and this darn cold, I still managed to get it done!  OK - enough fun - big test tomorrow - back to my homework, some cough syrup and tylenol!

Hexagon Jacket - Gotta Love It!

This is a variation of Bev's Hexagon Baby Jacket and was created by Elisa Purnell.

This is a free crochet pattern and you can find it on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hexagon-baby-jacket-with-ruffles

Bev's original jacket is also a free crochet pattern on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bevs-hexagon-baby-jacket

I crochet loosely so mine actually fits little Gracie who will be turning 3 soon. Although, I probably could have made the sleeves a little longer. If you crochet with normal tension the jacket should fit a 12 month old. This worked up in about 4 hours, however, I only worked on it a little at night so it took about a week for me to complete.
I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn and it only took one skein of each color. It was a great project and Gracie loves it! Now, we just need the weather to cool off a bit!

More Dishcloths!

I absolutely love this pattern - very easy - I am sure I posted pics before, but I found these new colors from Bernat and wanted to try them out.

I purchased the Bernat Country Colors Cotton yarn at AC Moore. It is about $7 for 14 oz, but I used a 50% off coupon so it was just $3.50!

You can find the pattern on Etsy or Ravelry.

This is the best pattern for beginners or experienced crocheters.

New Crocheted Scrubbies

These were really easy to make - probably about 30 minutes each, including the construction. This is a free pattern from Ravelry - created by Judith Prindle. There is even a YouTube video to show you how to construct it once you have crocheted it. Here is the link to the pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/spiral-scrubbie. These are great for washing off makeup and in the shower with shower gels. Since they are 100% cotton you can just throw them in the washer and dry on low. Pretty cool and provides a cost savings since you don't have to buy those disposable cotton pads.
