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 busy! ~hazel~crochetamo

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?

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!!
