 These comfy, thick slippers worked up in less than a day. I'm calling them my Mister Roger Slippers because they hang out in the side pouch of my craft room recliner and I slip off my other shoes to put these on. They're pretty perfect. I also may or may not have bought a bunch of different colors to make more for a listing in the future. We'll see...

 My skull sweater is done! 8 months of work, 37,139 stitches, plenty of frogging to get it to fit just right, and so many opportunities to grow my skills with new stitches and new ways of garment construction. I'm excited it's done and that the temperature up here is allowing for a couple more days of sweater weather. Thanks if you've been following my updates on this thang. It was an adventure, now peace out!

Bluey Season 3 Episode 9: Curry Quest - Chilli teaches Bluey how to crochet When I watched this with my family, my kids shouted, "Bluey is crocheting like you Momma!" I felt so much joy seeing that and at the end of the episode, after Bandit's long work trip, Bluey is proudly wearing her complete scarf. I immediately logged it away for a future project for myself. I looked around for the right yarn colors and Bernat Blanket had the closest match I could find. Now I've made the scarf and whipped up a very simple pattern for it. When it came to the stitchwork, I had to think like Chilli Heeler and what would be the easiest to teach my crocheting newbie. Single crochet had to be the way to go and using chunkier, easier-to-see yarn. FYI, I've got more Bluey-inspired projects in the queue and I'm excited for them.

 General Conference weekend has been the perfect time to finish my commission for a retro 70'sbutterfly shawl. Because of the customer's choice, I used Chenille yarn so it'd be really soft! I'm so grateful for commissions because of the new skills and techniques I'm taught. I used sewing thread to connect the circles to each other and then the velvet yarn to reinforce those connections. This pattern used 880 yards of yarn and a giant 15.75mm P/Q crochet hook.
Pattern: Vintage Girl 007 A new commission for a Halloween costume accessory. It's inspired by the little boy's headband in MGMT's Kid music video. I used graph paper to plot out the letters and the headband was completed by the end of my 2nd Poldark episode.
 I made this cute shirt for Oliver's sweet, little friend as a birthday gift. It's magical and happy just like her! Shirt and paints from Hobby Lobby.
Technique: using my Cricut to cut out the design onto freezer paper, ironing on the freezer paper (wax side down) to the shirt for a secure frame, puff-painting the design with paint brushes, letting it dry overnight, and removing the freezer paper the next day for the final reveal. We've made so many things this way and it's easy and inexpensive.  I'm glad I have Catboy and Gekko to protect me during bedtime because that's the right time to fight crime! You can tell what we've been watching over here. I found a great pattern and worked on these mask in secret after they went to bed. They were easy to work up and these boys were so excited when I handed them to them. Pattern: Dove Crafts UK - Catboy; Gekko  Nerd dream becoming a reality. I was commissioned to make Molly Weasley's crazy, amazing sweater for an avid Harry Potter fan. It was so exciting! The sleeves took the longest because of the 34 color changes and learning new stitches I've never done before. It took half the time to do the second sleeve but tucking in the ends of the yarn from all of the color changes, another story. Roughly 46.5 hours, 27 days, 4489 stitches, 3 skeins of pink, and 33 other colors. The lovely lady that commissioned this from me is a wonderful person. While we've been quarantined, she's been hard at work as a nurse! Prayers her way. I hope this sweater can bring her some joy amid all the chaos (just like the sleeves)! Pattern: Shelleden |
