Crochet Bag - orange, yellow and white

This bag I made with bright colours to see if I can do alternating colours. I really would like to keep it for myself. lol  Everything is handmade even down to the button.  Add this to your swag wardrobe.

Keep viewing my blog and remember to check me out on social media links to the right. 

See ya,

Monster Amigurumi

I made this and gave it to my sister.  She paid a small fee to cover part of the cost of the yarn.  It took quite a bit of stuffing and yarn to make.  She is in love with this monster! Can't blame her.  Thinking of making some accessories for him as well.  She has named him Stubby.  I will work on a hat for him but I probably won't post pics until much later since he has gone travelling.  



Not a bad attempt at a stuffed monster.

More stuffed monsters to come!  Please support me buy purchasing something from me. Thanks! Don't forget to add me on facebook, twitter and the other sites on the right as well as read more of my posts.

Day 15 - 30 Day Challenge



Day 15: What was your least favourite pattern and why?

Anything that is not written properly.  Then it makes it hard for me to follow.  If it has mistakes it is also frustrating especially if you invest in materials and excited about a pattern and then it is not written properly and have to make adjustments and practically rewrite the pattern.

Updating my blog

It is hard to keep track of all the pics I have and the things  I do on the various sites I manage for myself.  I will try though!  So if you see a lot of repetitive stuff from me, it is just me trying to publicise as much info as possible.  It is hard to keep up with all that I am doing.  I have a very busy schedule and feel so run down from doing so much.  I hope you look forward to my posts!

See ya the next post which is shortly. lol

Day 14 - 30 Day Challenge



Day 14: What’s the worst yarn/fiber that you’ve worked with and why?

 I only have worked with Red Heart Super Saver, Soft, baby yarn and cotton.  That's what's available here so unless I get something better, there is no worst yarn/fiber at the moment. 

Translating patterns - Ayuda para interpretar/traducir patrones de ganchillo

I am thinking of going into translating since I do it for myself all the time with crochet patterns.  Plus, I need the practice lol.  I actually like to translate even though it is time consuming and sometimes you have to be doing the pattern the same time to understand what the person means.  I have found many spanish patterns out there, really good ones too that I have translated for myself, for the most part.  I did a few from french to english and have only tried a couple in italian. Unfortunately, this would not be a free service since it does take my time and effort but it is something that I am willing to do since I like to crochet and understand the difficulties in crocheting when you like a pattern but it's not your language.  The cost would be minimal.  If you wish this to be done, please email me.  I can answer short questions for free. 
Please me aware that if I don't respond timely it is due to this messed up computer I am on and access to the Internet.  Sorry!!
