Baby Fever

 Another star blanket. Made with light pink and yellow. Great for a little baby girl. I made this for a coworker who is pregnant with a wee little one.
 An up close picture
 I like how the border turned out. I got this pattern from hobby lobby but i also found a link on Ravelry that has the same pattern. Here it is, hope you enjoy :) http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/star-blanket-754 ive done quite a few of these, and i know i ve enjoyed every minute.
 I have had this for almost two years, its a cowboy baby quilt made for Jude when he was first born by his daddys aunt (i think that would make it his aunt too but i dont know)
 Its so beautiful, i wish i was good with a sewing machine. Ive tried sewing before but was never really happy with the outcome and gave up:(
 This is the other side of the quilt, what do you think? I just love it <3
 I told my sister i would make her something for a long time and never did so i decided to finally do so. She asked for a purse with long straps. I think i got it right!!
 The colors are alternating blueish and orangeish wool blend. Its actually pretty soft for a wool blend.
 You cant really tell from far away but ive added a flower with a cute little blue button
 Ive also added a coin purse think-a-ma-bob. I got it off a pair of shorts i bought a while back.... thought i could recycle it somehow!!!
 I made one strap in blue and the other in orange, and instead of joining the straps i made them seperate that way if my sister wanted, she could make the straps as short or as long as she wanted.
 I actually got this pattern from a link off ravelry... kinda changed it up a bit for my liking and added the flower and of course the coin purse thing-a-ma-bob :) here is the link http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/take-along-tote-archived. I would love to see pics if anyone ever made this.
Alright guys i guess im gone for now. I already have a couple f projects im working on right now so ill be back soon.

Mardi Gras!!!!

 So guess what??? I had no idea it was Mardi Gras til the day before and i still would of have no idea if everyone of Facebook wasnt writing a million things about it... Plus i had a request from a friend to make him a mask... so i looked up a pattern and got to work. Here is the link http://web.archive.org/web/20010710000206/members.aol.com/lffunt/mask.html
 I wish i could keep it :(  i feel like a ninja turtle
 I found out Thursday that i am having a boy!! I am not 21 weeks pregnant with my second.. thought i would share with yall :))
 This is his male parts
 This is the cutest ever... his feet
 Blast from the past... i made this blanket months ago and thought i would share it with you since i didnt have much for this week. I will have more for next week since ill be working mainly night shift.. I need to get back in the groove of things since so many things are changing right now. Just got a job and about to have another baby... whoa. I got this pattern from Hobby Lobby, one of the free ones hanging on the wall.
 Here is another picture
 I really like the colors in this one. I made this one months ago as well, it was given away as a gift
 I was in a star mood for a while there, i made this pillow actually for my son, he loves it. Sometimes he takes it to daycare :) I love him <3 This is my own pattern
 I try to get him to pose for the picture and dont you think he did a good job? He is my little cutie pie. Never mind the wet shirt though, you know how kids are.
 This one was really fun to make.... about twice the size of the other blankets (the others were baby blankets) I made this one for my aunt who is a big Dallas Cowboys fan!!! I just love it.


Ok ill be back next sunday with more goodies, my cousin asked me to make her a hat and besides working on my larger projects i got another little one in mind.. see ya

My very first blog post!!!

I made this baby start blanket about a month ago and thought i'd share it with you as my first post. Im working on quite a few projects right now and can't wait to share them with you. This is not my own pattern, i got it from Hobby Lobby. It was one of those free ones hanging by the yarn. Ive seen other people make this blanket on ravelry. Here is a link if anybody wants to try it out. Let me know what you think. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/chromium-star-blanket
