New Wash Cloth

Just thought I would share one of my wonderful kitties modeling my new bath cloth. I made one last weekend and realized that I LOVE crocheted wash cloths much better than store bought ones. So I made a more pretty one and I love it. I hope you like it too!

Crochet Cue-Tip Cup.

(sorry the picture is so bad)

I decided I had to have one when I was cleaning the bathroom this morning. So here you have it. I will post pictures sometime this weekend. This is the first pattern I actually wrote down. You can sell any items you make just please if someone asks refer them to my blog so they can get it to.

Crochet Cue-Tip Cup

Materials
- Small amount of yarn
- Cardboard tp roll
- Hot glue gun

I cut the tp roll to the height I wanted it and then I taped the bottom of it so they wouldn't fall out. You could crochet a bottom. Just a flat circle or something but I was in a hurry.

For the crocheted cover:

1.Ch 25 join with slip stitch
2.Ch 2, DC in each stitch around and join to top of Ch 2
3. Repeat step 2 till you reach the height of your tp roll. * You may have to single crochet around if the dc is too tall for the last round but you still come up short.*
Fasten off!

Then I just sliped it over the cardboard roll and hot glued it in place in a few spots. Dropped in some cue-tips and now it resides in the upstaires bathroom. I will probably have this place totally covered in crochet everything here soon. Enjoy!

Christmas Crochet

I picked up a wreath from the dollar store and a bunch of christmasy nick naks and and for under $4 I made the following =-]

Then I pulled out the christmas yarn and made a homemade frosty. He's my first ami without a pattern. Yup I made him up myself. Wasn't too hard and I'm very proud of myself! Last christmas I could barely chain! Operation Homemade christmas is well on it's way!

Homemade Christmas

I know it sounds a bit early for christmas talk, BUT I have about a month and a half to get my house together, make a million ornaments, decorate the house, buy & make presents, and work full time. Totally insane. We bomed over the weekend due to EVIL fleas that won't die. Hopefully this did the trick. But now I'm way in over my head here. I have to wash EVERYTHING. Clothes, Dishes, Carpets, Counters, Both bathrooms. Plus work. My goal is to get the house done by friday. Then enjoy my weekend. We stopped working saturdays so if I get everything washed down by then I can relax. Spend much needed time with the boyfriend, and start crocheting and glueing my homemade christmas. My grandma is staying with us this year, so I want to make it extra special. I'm a list person. So bear with me this post is mainly to calm my own nerves and plan what I'm going to do.

Get House Clean
1. Start from top to bottom.
- Get together all clothes and put in basement in the massive pile that is threatning to eat my basement. Wash only what we wear and sort everything else to be washed after christmas when we get new washer.
- All dishes need taken out and washed
- Cats need a bath
- Borrow mom's vacume and carpet shampooer and have at it
- Re-arrange living room
- Get desk & entertainment stand from boyfriend's Dad's
- Get couch, loveseat, and chair from my parents the extra seating would be nice.

2. Start Operation Christmas ( haha I couldn't help myself )
- Check the dollar store!!
- Crochet my heart out!
* Crochet paper chain so we can use it for years to come
* Crochet ornaments
* Crochet Stockings
* Crochet gifts
- Put lights inside windows
- Put up our totally bare huge tree (We've never actually been able to celebrate a chistmas together due to circumstances but now that we've figured all that out this will be our first christmas living together. So we have quite literally nothing to start with expect a bare artificial tree that has a 6 1/2 ft girth. I mean the thing is massive I will so take pictures. lol )
- Get spare bed from mom's to put in craft room for my grandma
- Buy lots of red, green, & white yarn
- Buy a ton of glue for the glue gun
- Check around for some pretty silver, gold, christmasy yarn.

I told you I'm a list person. It makes it easier for me to actually get done what I want and not forget ideas I come up with. Happy Monday! not really but do enjoy your week. & if you read this entire post. Kudos!

Really cool star afgan

I started a new project for myself, for something to do between all these crazy scarfs I'm making.




& it's quickly growing because I don't want to put it down. So I have till saturday to work on it as much as I want because I'm going to buy more yarn for the other scarves I need to make on saturday.

So I finally finished the scarf for my co-workers daughter. She likes pink & purple. I think it turned out pretty good. =-]

Then I got bored and made yet another scarf just because. It's kinda crazy.

Then I frayed the ends. I think it looks neat.

Ripple Time!!

My first ripple!!!! I'm just going to keep going on it. It will be part of the craft room. =-]

The crocheted snake. His future residence is in the craft room as well...

She really is such a pretty cat.

As is Max. =-] I am blessed with perfect cats. Although Princess won't let me get a decent picture of her. She always looks really mad or VERY blurry.

Have a WONDERFUL day!
