Random Blog Post...
I've been crocheting more squares for the Friendshipghan CAL. And, I found some squares I had made and forgot about. :P Bonus. Can you tell what my favorite square is lately? :P It's #24 from "99 Granny Squares to Crochet", by Leisure Arts. The two little squares on the top right are square #98 from the same book. I like the diamond in the middle of the square look. I think it's cool. And, I like navy blue and turqoise and off white together, too. In case you couldn't tell. The teal and warm brown/tan I was experimenting with a smaller weight (scrap yarn, but it looked like Caron Simply Soft); trying to see how small I could make this square with a smaller hook and smaller weight yarn. Well. Only about ten inces is the smallest I could go. So. I will have to make square #98 for smaller squares... Until I decide to try something new. :) |

Love Bugs
I finished the last of these love bugs today. I was trying to find a cute Valentine's Day thing to crochet for the three kids I send things to on Pine Ridge. I kept looking, kept looking, kept looking... I just got tired of trying to find anything; and I thought, "Why dont' I just make one of my Ami Love Bugs?" I hadn't crocheted one in a long time. I ended up making one for each of them. From the left: Nia's, Dre's, and Tia's. :) Dre is a little boy. So I made his "boy" colors. :) Oh, and I made the red heart pops, too. With Wilton's candy melts and molds. I was going to use chocolate. But then I saw the red candy melts so I thought I would try those. I think I prefer chocolate better. ~~Anyway~~ |

Jetta Got a Bath, and a New Sweater
Look at her nose. :P I think she thought she was in trouble, her ears are plastered to her head. After I took this picture, I gave Jetta a bath. |
And a new sweater. :D Actually, I made this the next day. I'm not sure if she likes it... Her ears are plastered to her head again. :P |
Here is my little helper again... We made homemade pizza for dinner the other night. Last week, actually. Eon helped with the fun parts (the toppings). :P |
It was yummy. |

Jetta Went For a Ride in the Truck :)
Then she got brave and looked out the window. A milli-second after I took this picture, she heard some kids and went right back to her spot on the floor. :P |
Remember, Safety First. :P (My husband's Safety Glasses from work...) |
Afghan WIPs and Monkey Bread
Here are some afghans I have had going. This is another "Eye Dazzler" afghan I started, for someone on Pine Ridge. Actually both of these two are for PR, for two of the elders I send things to. They probably won't be done until next winter. I really like this one so far. :) This one is for Alice. |
And, here is the Monkey Bread I was talking about... I took a picture of the dough so I would know if it was rising right. :P I don't think I will use the recipe I used, ever again. I found a good one on Family Fun that I printed out: Monkey Bread. The recipe I used (from cooks dot com, I think) isn't very clear at all. I don't know why I printed it out.. Anyway, it turned out all right. |
I got a helper for a while... :P He put the balls in the butter then the cinnamon/sugar mix, and into the pan. |
Here he is trying not to look at me, cuz he knows I have the camera... Sigh. :P |
The finished Monkey Bread. My Bundt Pan is about a million years old. But, it works~ and I like it. :P I'm pretty sure my Mom gave it to me. |
Ha!! I got a picture of him, AND he is smiling. :D Just not looking directly at the camera... :P |

Oma's Baby Sweater
This is a baby sweater and bonnet I tested the pattern for, in the Liebe Oma group on Ravelry. I had left a comment on someone's baby sweater a long time ago. I had forgotten about it. Then just recently, she left me a message, asking if I wanted to test the pattern. It had been a while since I had tested any patterns. I get a little stressed out if I get too much going on. Testing patterns, joining swaps... But since I hadn't tested in a while, and the Holiday Wishlist for Crochetville was over with, and all my Christmas crocheting was done; I joined the group, and wallah.. Here we are. :) I think this sweater will fit a bigger baby. According to the measurements/ charts online, it might fit a 12 month old or bigger baby. My babies were all big. They wore a 12 month size when they were 6 or 9 months old. A 2T when they were one year old... So. Maybe this will fit a six month old. Who knows. I am sending it to Pine Ridge Reservation. I started another one for my neighbor. She is due in the beginning of May, and it's a boy. So hopefully I can make a newborn size.. If not, I will have to do something else for her. |
A close-up of the buttons. Nothing spectacular, at all. But. :P The owner of the pattern/Liebe Oma group said the pattern should be available in the Spring. |

Some Holiday Wishlist Crocheting and Other Stuff...
This is a dress potholder I made for someone else. Her favorite color is purple. |
A Christmas Tree Tea Cozy! It's Cupcake's Scalloped Tea Cozy, but I did it all in green and added some "ornaments" and a star. :P |
A Poinsettia potholder. The poinsettia was confusing. This was the first time I have made this one, from the Ultimate Book of Potholders. I don't know if I will do it again. Maybe I will. |
