A Baby Bee Blanket..

 Happy Monday!
The first crocheted  baby blanket for the new grandchild to be is finished! I got this pattern from Pinterest for the blanket .. It is done in shell stitch..

 and then crocheted the little bee.. I did not use a pattern for the bee , I just took yarn and a hook and made him ....I think it turned out so cute! I used the I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby ..It took 3 skeins of the off white to make the blanket ..

 I blanket stitched it on the blanket with black . I left the wings and the antennas loose ... for more texture..

 If you would  like to see what I am up to everyday join me on Instagram and my Facebook page ! I do post on both almost everyday ..Links to my Facebook page , Instagram and Pinterest are in the sidebar .. Hope to see you there ! :)

Patriotic Baby Crochet

 Since we are expecting another Grandson at the end of June, its time for me to get busy crocheting some cute things for the new little guy!  I made this patriotic blanket , cocoon and hat ..

 I used this pattern for the cocoon, except when it started the fancy stitch I just stuck to plain half double crochet .. I did 5 rows of each color to make the stripes. I made the stars from Attic 24's pattern ..for the blanket star I used a H hook ,for the hat I used a F hook .

 I used all Hobby Lobby I love this yarn for the set..I used this pattern for the blanket ..

Owls and Mickey Mouse

 Its Monday ! Another week just flew by ! I made this owl blanket and hat for a gift for a new baby .. I got the  pattern on Etsy and used the same colors they did in the pattern.. I did change the owl a little bit by crocheting the wings onto the body instead of sewing them on.

 It is so pretty ! The edging is just perfect for the blanket.

 My daughter in law asked for a Mickey Mouse set for her brothers baby , I bought a pattern but the directions just were not good.. so I looked on Pinterest and I had pinned a free pattern for a Mickey Mouse hat Mickey Mouse pattern and I made that one. I then made a diaper cover in red and crocheted "buttons" in yellow..I think it turned out really cute !

Anf finally.. this is what our house looks like at the moment. We decided to take down the wall in the foyer that seperates the living room .. to make the house more open. We also took down all the ceilings because they were popcorn ugly ceilings.. Once this is done the whole bottom  floor will have been remodeled.. There was a huge mirror on the wall and it was pretty scary Saturday morning when that came down !

We also decided to make the wall between the dining room and kitchen smaller so thats more open too..

What a mess we have on our hands.. but its not nearly as bad as when we had no kitchen for 3 months and I had to wash dishes in the basement utility sink ! Hopefully it won't take long to finish up and I am sure it will look so much better!

Hope you all have a wonderful week, Thanks for your visits and nice comments !!

Fall mantel, Daisy baby blanket ,Pumpkin cottage

All of the Halloween is put away until next year.. I added some more pumpkins and gourds to the mantel. It will only stay this way for a few more days.. The Christmas bins will be coming upstairs ( hopefully later today) .

My vintage tool box is filled with gourds and berry pics..

I made this daisy blanket for my daughter, to take to a baby shower. These photos don't do it justice.. Its a really pretty pale pink.

I did a ruffle for the edging.

I finished Country Cottage needleworks Pumpkin cottage ..I bought this pretty frame at hobby lobby and it is on top of our entertainment center

Still working on the Santa stocking . I have a mistake that a bunch of stitches need to come out.. I need to learn to count !

Thanks as always for stopping by to visit my blog and your nice comments ! I  really appreciate them all !  Have a great week !

Baby ripple

I had some blue baby yarn left over from making the new grandson a couple blankets..so I decided to make one to keep at our house since he and his brother were spending the night last week.. Its the same baby ripple I made before where you work the row only in the back stitches..I got the terry cloth looking yarn to add to the top at walmart.

Seems he likes his new blanket !

The never ending Lizzie Kate Halloween abc.. seems I get stitchers ADD every time I start to work on it , I think theres something else I must need to do and jump up to do it!   :)

Pioneer woman baked potato skins..made these last night ,they are so good ! A little time consuming ,but my boys gobbled them up..the potatoes I used were pretty small so they were like 2 bites each. Will definately make them again. They ate them with sour cream on top , and one of the boys dipped them in bbq sauce. But he dips everything in bbq sauce...

Made these chocolate covered strawberries yesterday too..way too good !

Hope you are having a great, relaxing weekend ..I think today we are digging up most of the potatoes in my garden..hope there is alot !

Thanks for reading my blog and your nice comments !!

Baby blankets and Lizzie Kate

It's been forever since I posted, life got very hard at the end of December into 2012..My father was hospitalized and passed away on New Years Day.  I did make it to Florida to see him the day before..Hope he knew I was there.  Its hard to go back to life as normal.. Just trying to stay busy..

I am still working on my Lizzie Kate Christmas abc...hope to finish it soon !

Finished one baby blanket , the white, yellow and blue shell stitch for my oldest son and his wife who are expecting a baby boy in April.  Working on the blue ripple with the fuzzy yarn crocheted on top of the back loops of the ripple stitch..
Thanks for reading ..
