One Down, many more to go... lol

Hello!!! Thank you for stopping by! I just finished my 3rd welding hat sewing project. (first one, a disaster, second one better but till not happy with, but it did fit!) Found the pattern online for free,  had the pieces lay out and instructions, but for me being a semi-beginner sewer, i couldnt follow them.    so i made the second hat using a blog that had some tips. turned out good, but needed another hat made, and i found another blog that had a tutorial. really awesome,  but, still some parts i didnt like.. so i winged it just a little.. and added elastic.  the hat my cousin gave me to use as a guide had elastic but all the ones i found online havent had it... but i did add it to both hats i have made so far. this one is reversible and completely 100% cotton. :) now on my to do list: crochet tigger crochet monkey sashay scarf that is my must do list within the next week.. or two. Have to run and get b...

Hello to all!! Ive been busy.. and when i havent been busy... i didnt want to take the effort to post.. how sad.. but, i do have updates on projects ive been doing!!! Here was my crochet commission i just finished: A full size blanket, and 5 stuff toys.. how cute huh? this project was a lot of fun.!. now, im sewing...  what, may you ask... well, some hemming of jeans, removing the sleeves and hemming a night shirt.. and making a welding cap for my cousin...  he gave me one to go by.. but my first one i made... *shakes head* it was a failure..  so i went to look for free patterns, found one, tried it... turned out.. kinda. the instructions werent that good.  i did get it made, and it does resemble one... so now, looking for paid ones..   sewing is one of my hobbies that i am not good at..  but, if i keep sewing, im bound to get better, right?

Quilling, blanket, and a turtle, then... lizards?

Hello to all!  Here is what I have been working on from quilling to commissions! My son quilled this with me. wittyliving.com-quilling-patterns My son designed this shark. We quilled it together. Here is a work in progress of the blanket, measured a perfectly 46in square on my full size bed: And right off my hook, measuring at 8in long and 10in wide, Mostly all my pattern, the shell was modified from a pattern that is found for free on the web. Also, a cute picture of a lizard. I love these guys more than i do the squirrels! I have two big ones that like to hang around the porch. and actually got a pic of both! It was cleaning day... and had yet to carry the trash off.. but they found it useful! What an update huh? i actually had this in the work for about a week... its been hectic!!
