Getting Ready for Halloween!

Happy Monday Crocheters!

So I was wandering through Hobby Lobby the other day and three skeins of yarn just jumped into my arms - yeah that's it - they jumped into my arms - a orange, a white and a black! I decided I wanted to make something for the house for Halloween.  And while working on a Striped C2C square my son started asking me about whether or not I was planning on doing a picture like the heart I did the other day - told him I wanted to but was having a hard time finding something I liked, and he jumped at the chance to try his hand at it.

Now he's very artistic, can draw just about anything he puts his mind to - well he did a Google search for Pixelated Kittie's, found one he liked and adapted it to be a Ghost for Halloween.  Here's what he drew me:

So I got started on the project and he looked at it and decided to make some tweaks, and came up with this

You can see where he's separated the tail and paws at the bottom.

So I got to work and here's what I came up with

I am VERY happy with the end result as is he!

What are you all working on for Halloween?!

Trying Something New and Adding to a Package Set

Good Saturday Afternoon Crocheters!

Hope everyone is having an Awesome Saturday!

It's an Absolutely Gorgeous Day here in the Port City and I am looking forward to having a great day with my Family.

But First I wanted to drop off these pics.

I recently joined a Facebook Group that goes along with the Repeat Crafter Me Website and Blog and those Ladies, I just have to say are an amazing group! So inspirational and supportive! So after seeing so many of them complete their C2C Graph's for a Christmas project I am guessing they are all working on as part of something the group is doing I finally decided to try and figure it out.  So I did some digging last night online and found two videos, one taught me the basics of C2C and the other how to Reduce when ready along with a basic graph pattern to follow and got to work.

Here is the pattern I followed

And here's what I pulled together

I am very proud of myself! Had to pull the rows out twice, but I got it done!

As well last night I finished this lovely afghan to go with the baby layette set I did

Hello Hello Happy Friday!

Hello Crocheters!

Wanted to drop in pics of my newest creations!

I've made these items before, only this time there's variations!

Check them out

This little lady was my 2nd Etsy Order! My author-employer ordered her for her partner for Christmas, isn't she the sweetest! WOW I went through many ups and downs trials and re-trials before I settled on the crochet eyes, preferred them over sewing the eyes on

And then the same lady who ordered the baby set and the other grey elephant asked me to make her a bag and while I had made one previously for myself after a couple of uses its stretched so much I need to run it through a dryer and shrink it bag down, so I altered the pattern to a one row HDC to one row of DC and lowered the gauge of my hook and I believe this one will hold a lot better!

That's all for now my friends!

Hope Everyone has a Good Weekend!

Lavender the Mouse

Good Evening Crocheters!

Happy Monday!

Yesterday I celebrated my 37th Birthday and as a Gift to myself I made one of these guys

I followed the pattern from the gracious Beautiful Nightmare blog (link in image), and made an oops when making the ears...made them too big and now she looks more like a mouse vs. a bear...ah well.

Then while making her my hubby suggested I stuff some Lavender leaves inside of her to make her smell like Lavender! YES amazing idea! So we headed to the Cotton Exchange here in Wilmington to this wonderfully cute store called Down to Earth and spoke with the owner, she suggested to make the smell last longer to infuse some flax seeds with 20-30 drops of essential oils, BINGO! Got the seeds soaking last night, went to Hobby Lobby today and picked up some Sheer Wedding Favor bags to hold the seeds and Voila! Stuffed her belly, assembled her together, added a scarf, and BINGO Mouse!

Check her Out!

Don't you just LOVE her, she sits about 10" tall and is just soo sweet!

Now bag to my regularly scheduled programming of working on a baby afghan!

It's been a busy day for YarntoAfghanCreations!  I finished the baby layette set last night (minus the blanket, that's still a work in progress) - adding the buttons, check it out!!!

Monster High Arm Warmers and a Baby Layette Set

Good Thursday Morning Crocheters!

Hope Everyone is Doing Well today!

It's Rainy is Gross here, Perfect Day to Stay Home & Crochet-Crochet-Crochet, alas though I have to work-work, ugh, ah well back at it tonight!

A while ago I posted a pic of this cute little hat I made for my Nieces 7th Birthday

And all was well, then my Sister-in-Law saw these and requested a pair for Zoey

So I pulled the same pattern and dug around for a smaller skull/bow to add to the arm warmers and came up with these

Aren't they the cutest?!?!?!?!

On top of these projects I was asked by one of my Scout Mom's to make a baby layette set for a family member due in December with a little boy, she asked for Blue & Brown and I went shopping and found the sweetest light blue/chocolate brown yarn and got to work - these aren't complete quite yet - still need to add the finishing touches, but she loves them

My first sweater, I have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

To get the patterns click through these: Sweater, Booties, Newboy Hat

I pulled the patterns from various sources and assembled a set that is really sweet!

Next is a baby blanket to go with and we've chosen this pattern
