Blankie Craftee

So I finished Delma's baby blanket Thursday and plan on giving it to her tomorrow. She only works 2 days next week (the 2 days that I happen to have off) and her due date is next Saturday the 28th, I think tomorrow when we work together for the last time would be a good day to give it to her ^_^

So here are a couple pictures of what it looks like, it's baby green. I think it's my new go to pattern, very easy and mindless =p

So I've decided that I really want to open an etsy store to sell my crochet stuff. I figure I have to "stock up" on things so that I actually have inventory to sell stuff because to get started I really don't want to take costume orders, except for friends, since it's the school year and I really need to be focusing on my studies and all that jazz, but it would be nice to have a little extra spending money on the side. So here are a few of the things that I've done lately. I made my mom a scarf and a hat and then I have 2 extra hats that are going to be for sale and then a purse that I need to seriously finish up and take pictures of... ... ...

So here are the pics of the scarf and the hats ^_^

this is the scarf I made for my mom, it's like an inverse of the blanket I made her

the hats are: top- brown with teal-aqua flower with crocheted ribbing going around

bottom left- black with glittery pink trim and flower

black and white one is for my mom (unless she changes her mind or I find a pattern I like for her)

And I forgot, a baby blanket for a lady at work that looks as if she's about to pop any day =p I forgot to take a picture of Letie's baby blanket, but it's the same pattern as this but in the same pink glitter color on the black and pink beanie above. She absolutely loved it, and apparently her mom says that she's NOT allowed to get rid of it by any means, she's to keep it until it dies I guess =p

IT'S DONE!!!

Finally finished Katie's blanket. It doesn't look too horrible, but I still don't really like it, it reminds me of a little girls blanket, but whatever the girls paying me for it. What are you're thoughts? (I think it would have looked better if I'd done one solid blanket with the rows of color, but hey she wouldn't listen to me, and for some strange ass reason she didn't think I could do something that way. Who knows...whatevs it's done and will be out of here next month! So here are some pics:

And it's DONE!

Finally completely finished my mom's blanket. It's the length of a twin bed and about as wide too. I did a shell border on it and I think it looks totally awesome. I kinda wish I had made it a little wider, but there's nothing I can do about that now. =p I really hope she likes it. Here's how it looks:

BTW Congrats to Spain for winning their first World Cup!

blanket...about half way through

So here is the start of my mom's blanket. I started it Tuesday night (?). It's about half way through. The baby blanket pattern I modified is 3 columns of 6 hearts, not sure how it will look with 6 rows of heart...I'll keep posting my progress!

my complete progress so far

Blanket...oo and ahh please

Ok, so I promised them, and since taking pictures and fiddling around is more fun then actually ready my chapters for school, here are a couple pictures of the blanket that is the reason for the yarn ball/barf of doom.

I have found where all Harley's hair is!!

So reading for class isn't that fun, it's the basic crap that I've already learned...a few times, so I got about half way through my chapter and decided that it would be a better idea to clean my room. And this idea is always good in theory right? I folded and put up all the laundry I had done earlier this week, thrown away LOTS of papers and stuff that I will never need again, organized my movies and I'm working on my little bookshelf right now. I have officially found were Harley hides all the hair she sheds. I mean it gets on my bed, but that's nothing unusual to me, Stormy and Nikki hair manages to some how get on my stuff up here, so a little hair on the places where Harley usually stays is fine...but after cleaning the way I have tonight I have found all the other hair that she sheds! It's good hair too, it's the nice kind that clumps itself up for you, that way all you have to do is pick up the clumps, so yeah...it was hiding in the corners and along the edge of my big bookshelf...now if only my vacuum wasn't making funny noises and smelling weird when I turn it on we would be in business, but alas it is so I'm picking up the clumps by hand, which isn't bad. I still have some cleaning and organizing to do so it's all good.

Other news...for once my room is actually the COOLEST in the house..I don't know what exactly the weather decided to do, but it feels nice outside so I opened my windows to let the nice air in and the muggy air out and now any time I walk out into the hallway or anything there is a blast of warm air and it's strange...usually it's the other way around o_0

I finished the baby blanket and am currently washing it to get all the dog hair and other things that got on it off, plus I want to make sure it will hold up being washed b/c once I send it to Joe and them I can't fix it unless the want to send it back...but where is the fun in that, it need to be a durable blanket right? It turned out really nice, I'll have to take some pictures before I mail it over to them to show off to everyone ^_^
