Reusable Tote & how to wind your own Yarn Balls!

Pattern is Quick and Easy - just how I like it! about 2 hours to construct and here is where I got the pattern: http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2008/03/free-reusable-crocheted-grocery-bag.html

In the comments below the pattern they have instructions for a larger bag. I totally see this going to the beach, it would allow the sand to fall out of all the toys and would dry so quickly in the acrylic yarn!

Then I made this CUTE little yarn ball with my leftover "vintage" yarn from the 1970's: http://laughingpurplegoldfish.blogspot.com/2008/08/winding-yarn.html

Ready to Smock Feb 2012

Been a long time since I've done any of these ready to smock dresses, but I sure enjoyed it! This is for a client and is a size 2T bishop -- this was a nice break from grading math papers!

My Daughter's creations

My oldest daughter is 10 and she made the hat and scarf for a doll, my youngest daughter is 7 and made this pretty rainbow baby blanket! I am so proud of them!

Pink & White baby crochet hat with a flower

Another baby version, just switch from an I hook to a G hook and it goes from adult sized to infant!

Purple & Gold flower hat

This is my cousin's school colors at Holland-Patent, NY. She's going to be so cute running cross country in her new hat! I made this one last night while watching the dumbest movie of one liners I've ever watched...The Other Guys...at least I got a hat finished so I didn't waste that hour and half of my life!

Baby Shower Gift

This is a baby shower gift for a friend who has a "hunting" family. I think they will be so cute with coordinating daddy, mommy, and baby hats!
