One Scarf For You & One For Me!

My friend and her mother came up from Florida to visit me and my mom this past weekend. We sort of celebrated birthdays. Mine was on Thursday (feb 9) and hers was in January. I made her this scarf below. It was a really easy pattern and took no time to make! I am glad she liked it and got many compliments on it!



This one I made for myself :)

Here is the free pattern for this scarf.

You Rock Valentine's Cards!

I have been trying to think of a way I could incorporate pink yarn I have left over in the valentine's cards I am making for the girls at Ethan's school. He is the only boy and I didn't really want to make anything with hearts or love so this is the idea I came up with!

I noticed after taking the picture the "happy valentine's day" part is a little off centered. Good thing it isn't like that in all of them. There are Pop Rocks and a little headband in each card. I was going to write "Girl, You Rock" but I liked the idea better of having their name on it.

This is what you will need to make one of these...

• Start by printing your image and message in landscape format (you can make 2 at a time that way).
• Print, fold and cut to size
• Hole punch around
• Thread yarn around
• Insert goodies
  

It's that easy!

Happy crocheting (or Card making)!

Mini Post of the Week - My Green Rug

I started crocheting a rug for my office/guest room. I do not have a pattern I am using but working on one myself. I will post it when I am done (if it looks good in the end). It is going to be about 4 1/2 feet all around and right now it is a little over 2 feet.


Do you think I should add more colors to this rug or just leave it green?

Other than this project, I am working on a green hat with red mustache for St. Patrick's Day and finishing up a hanging nest for a newborn photography prop. Should be done and get these pics up soon!

To answer my question in a previous post about rugs. Yes, it is totally worth it! This has been really fun and I love learning something new! I can't wait to see how the finished product looks! I also can't wait to purchase a big skein of rope and crochet a doily rug for my bedroom!

Happy crocheting!
