Questions About Mickey Mouse Head/Squares


 I just went in to my "comments" section today. I haven't really been on top of my blog for a long time. I had a lot of comments, I forgot you have to approve them now. A couple of people had said they saw my Mickey Mouse squares on Pinterest. (Wow, I made Pinterest status? LoL). The link was not working (I had posted it on Crochetville..) So... I went back on there (it's been a long time), and FINALLY found the post where I said how I made the Mickey Mouse heads. So here is what I wrote: 

"I made mine up. I did a circle with 22 triples (Ch 4, 21 trc in first chain) for the head, two circles with 14 dcs (ch 3, 13 dc in first chain) for the ears, sewed them to the head over three stitches with three stitches in between. Made a 6 inch square that is like a granny square but with no spaces in between. Sew the head onto the square."

My apologies to everyone who commented and I hadn't responded.

New Afghan, And A New Hobby..


 I started a new afghan for our new couch. Our old afghan doesn't match at all now. Hopefully it doesn't take me 8 years to finish this one. 😆  Since I finished my sons' friends afghan in less than a month, I can finish ours soon.  

Aaaand, I started another new hobby. (I need another hobby...👀)  Collages.  One of my friends invited me to her Facebook group.  It is kind of fun. But, I cannot keep up with all of them. She posts one, then two days later there's another one.  Sigh. I just don't sign up for all of them. This one is the most recent one I finished. "Black and White" was the theme. 

                                This was actually the first one I did. St. Patricks' Day.
                                                      And this was a "Collage Card" I did.
This one was "All Things Girly".  I have one more I did, I can't find the picture. I think it's on my phone. I'll save that for another post, I guess.

My back is feeling better. I found out that someone from my quilting group fell (only a few days after I fell), she was in her garage for two or three hours and didn't have any way to get a hold of anyone. Her husband was gone, and didn't come home for two to three hours later. 😟  She fractured a vertebra in her back. Initially they thought they were going to have to do surgery. But they didn't have to. So I guess that was good. I feel so bad for her. I at least had someone at home who eventually helped me. I got her a card. I still need to write and send it out.

I Fell

I fell this morning. Right on my butt. It hurt SOOOO bad!!! 😭  I yelled. But no one came to see if I was all right. Except my cats. Cosmo came right away, and was meowing.  I couldn't even get up for a while. But I was able to after a few minutes, and walked to text my husband. I don't think anything is broken, if I could walk. 

 Eri came after I laid on the floor with the ice pack.  (I took this picture earlier this morning.) She's almost 10 months old.  Well not much is going to get done around here until my back (butt) feels better. Except maybe some crocheting...

More FO's

I had a bunch of things I have finished; but like I said in my last post, I haven't uploaded pictures is all.. These are two cross bookmarks I finished. The green and white one I finished a long time ago. I just found it (while trying to find something else). I crocheted a white with purple edging one for my Aunt. I used this pattern: Cross Bookmark.
And a blue baby boys' set (newborn).  The afgahn is the Corner To Corner Throw. The sweater is the Baby Surprise Jacket (crocheted). The booties are from a pattern book I have, and the mittens are Ruth's Crochet Set: Mittens. The yarn is Red Heart. The hat is the Pumpkin Side-to-Side hat.
                  And a girls' set. Same patterns. For some reason, I think I already posted both of these sets..  
And this is a baby bunting I started almost three years ago. I've been trying to finish projects I had started. (Sigh...)  This was a LOT of work. I am still weaving in ends on it, too.
And, I started another bunting. (Sigh...) Just like this one I made a few years ago. This one is going to be with a grey border. (For a boy.)  This is why I can never finish anything. I finish one thing, then I feel like I can start another project...

 And, my Baby Yoda socks I finished right after the beginning of this year. The pattern is technically "Comfy Alien Socks". The only thing I don't like about them is the eyes. But, I did them just as the pattern stated. I still haven't decided what to do with these. I'll probably end up sending them to someone.
