Happy Monday!  It's a little overcast today, but that's ok.  A little rain won't hurt my garden.  :)

Speaking of garden, I have five little tomatoes growing already!  I'm so excited.  Hopefully they grow well.  I didn't plant my garden last year because the baby was just born, but two years ago, I had a ton of tomatoes grow, but right before they would ripen, almost all of them would get end rot.  It was very sad.

I listed two new blankets this morning!

This first blanket is the super secret project that I had talked about a few weeks ago!  You can find it here.

I love how it came out.  The ripple pattern adds a nice touch and I love the colors together!!  I'll have to make more with this color combination.  Here's another picture.

And there's this blanket.  Months ago, someone had contacted me about making this blanket, but when I let her know that it was finished, I never heard back!  So I've listed it for sale.

You can find this blanket here.  I actually have a cute brown ribbon with pink polka dots that can be woven around the border.  I think I may add it and take more pictures.

Let me know what you think!

Finished Baby Blankets and a New Scarf!

Happy Tuesday morning!  The rain is gone, the sun is shining and I have some new finished items!

There are two new blankets listed in my shop!  I had posted about these last week.  I finished the purple blanket last Thursday and listed both this morning!

So they're both done...

And I finished this scarf!  This was fun to make and really easy!

I just need to cut the end of the yarn and sew it in, and it will be ready to wear!  The yarn is soft and it has sequins through it to add a little sparkle!  I really like how this one came out.  I love the big ruffle!  Here's a close-up.

I just have to figure out what to wear it with....

I'm still working on the super secret project!  It should be done soon, but I still can't post what it is until after the first weekend in May!

Secret Project Yarn Revealed!

Here's just a quick post.  Not a whole lot of crafting content right now.  I've started working on a super secret project that will be revealed in a few weeks.  But here's a hint.

The green looks a little lighter in the picture than it actually is...  I love these colors together.  I wasn't sure how I would like them, but now that I'm working on them together, I love it!  The green combines really well with the two blues.  Once this super secret project is done, I may have to use these same colors again for a blanket either to sell or for my little man or both!  Yay!!!

Happy Wednesday!

A few new knit baby blankets!

So...what have I been creating lately?  I've been on a blanket kick lately.  I had to make so many scarves this winter that I'm tired of them!  Now don't get me wrong, I love making scarves for orders that have come in, but it's always the same pattern.  So I've had a little time lately to create something different.

First, I finished this blanket.  I absolutely love this yarn.  It's so fuzzy and soft.  When it's knit up, it feels just like a soft fleece blanket.  I was going to list this on my website, but I think that this one is going to be saved for an upcoming baby shower.  I'll just have to make another one to put up for sale.  I don't think that I could ever get tired of using this yarn, though.  It's just so comfy!

Here's a close up.  Even this doesn't show how soft and cozy this blanket is.

The one that I'm knitting now is almost finished.  Just a few more rows to go.

I love how this is turning out.  The stripes add a nice change to the basic pattern and I love how the variegated yarn looks in the ripples.  It's turning out to be a nice size, too.  It would be a great blanket that a little one could use even thru the toddler years!  Here is a close up.

I might have to make more stiped blankets with this pattern.  Maybe blue and brown or pink and brown or shades of gray.  Any ideas?

Happy Tuesday!

New listing Saturday!

Today was a day for new listings!  I had finished 2 new baby blankets last week and finally got the time to take pictures and upload them to Etsy and Artfire!

This one is a yellow, green and white blanket crocheted from a brushed acrylic yarn.  It is crocheted in a shell pattern.  It is so soft!  The compact size would be great for a carseat or stroller blanket.

This one is a blue, brown and white blanket crocheted in a different shell pattern.  This one is so lightweight and comfortable!  It would be great for outside on a summer day or inside when the baby needs just a little something!



Now...if only my baby would arrive, I'd have someone to model these...  soon!!!!

I also created another collection on Artfire of monkeys.  That's to come!

Happy Saturday!
