Heb. 4:12

Now if it is bad in YOUR eyes to serve Jehovah, choose for yourselves today whom YOU will serve, whether the gods that YOUR forefathers who were on the other side of the River served or the gods of the Amorites in whose land YOU are dwelling.
Joshua 24:15a

Crochet Projects

We’re turning into Knit Wits!!!

For those of you who may have fol­lowed my cro­chet blog, (which was recently merged with this one), you know my plight about learn­ing to knit.

Well, Flower Picker has been pre­tend­ing to knit with two pen­cils… no yarn — she’s just rub­bing two pen­cils together at the tips. :-{

So, I decided that would be our hand­i­craft for […]

This week, so far…

This week was a 1/2 day school week.  We have a two-day assem­bly this week­end, and I always like to sew new things for the girls and I to wear.  I made myself a skirt and shirt (that’s a first for me!) and I made a skirt and dress for Face.  Flower Picker was in […]

Sew N Show

I wanted to show off the dress-up dresses I made for the girls last month.

Noth­ing fancy, but they don’t seem to care!

Aw, the latest…

Well, for starters, I’ve added a new cat­e­gory — Sewing!

Yup, yup, this cro­cheter sews, too!  Well, let me rephrase -

I have owned a sewing machine for 17 years.  In that 17 years, the most sewing I’ve done to date, was cloth dia­pers.  I sewed dia­pers for 3 years.  I never had proper instruc­tion, so most […]

NOT a hobby!">Crochet is NOT a hobby!

It’s a skill!

I was watch­ing an old episode of Knit & Cro­chet Today and there was an inter­view with Nikki Epstein.  She made the com­ment, “Knit­ting isn’t a hobby; it’s a skill!”

That rang bells for me.  It’s true.  Cro­chet­ing (and knit­ting) are skills.  You have to really work to hone those skills.  The more you hone, the […]

The coolest idea ever!!

Loi­ter­ing online –that’s what I call “surf­ing”.  Surf­ing requires some sort of skill or strat­egy — loi­ter­ing is clearly just hangin out some­where with no real pur­pose, and that’s how I internet.

Any­way, as I was loi­ter­ing, I stum­bled onto this:
Make your own bag handles

Now, as a cro­cheter, I have found, and fell in love with […]

Stone Soup, Anyone?

A friend of mine, who works at our local library, is read­ing the book, Stone Soup, to a group of small chil­dren.
She said she’d love to have props on hand as she read the story, so my son and I cro­cheted her some veg­eta­bles for her Stone Soup.

We made:
tomato
peas
green beans
radish
red bell pep­per (not pic­tured)
car­rot
gar­lic
egg­plant
cab­bage
turnip (not pictured)

I can’t believe it!!

I’m Knit­ting!
I’m actu­ally mak­ing some­thing that will amount to some­thing larger than a dish­cloth, but with more shape than a scarf!!

The first ques­tion is… what?
I found this cute pat­tern, it looked easy enough — didn’t require cir­cu­lar nee­dles, and I have the size it DOES call for.  I’ve been want­ing to make a tank for my […]

Many Tanks!

Yay! I’ve just fin­ished up my old­est DD’s tank top.

DH says it’s too wide, so I see some alter­ing in my future, but she loves it!

She loves the color — which is awe­some, since she is the one that picked it out.
She loves how it feels against her skin (Another […]

Puttering Along

I’ve been work­ing on a few things at once lately.

I’ve started my Banana Bay top, which I’m lov­ing!
I’m also work­ing on a cute tank top for my old­est DD.
I’ve used the pat­tern before, but this time, I’m using Knit Picks Crayon yarn, and it’s YUMM-O soft! Even DD stated, “Hey, it’s soft, so there’s […]
