I bought this awesome fabric to make my fur baby, Oliver something. I wanted to use it before Christmas was over, and I just couldn't think of anything. Then it came to me to make him a new stocking. All he had was a stocking from the dollar store. I embroidered his name on it and I'm really happy with how it turned out! I'm going to fill it with tons of treats. I have leftover fabric so I will make him a baby with it. It's going to be a great Christmas for Oliver!

I made this for cmladybug in the All About Bags Swap. She's received so I'd like to share it with all of craftster! I used Simplicity 4668 view B. It was really easy to make, and I'll probably make one for myself. I hope you all like it!

My mom taught me all she knew about crocheting. The double crochet stitch and how to turn. That's it. So I bought a book and learned the rest. That was a year and a half ago. Since then I've been hookin' like crazy and acquiring YAS, PAS, and HAS. If you don't know what that is, ask me. Anyways, Yahoo is closing their photo service so I went over there to save any pics I might want and I found the first projects I ever crocheted from patterns!








Thanks for sharing some nostalgia with me!

I bought a plain apron and got out my needle and threads...
This pattern is from Jenny Hart's Kitschy Kitchen....

My favorite..the cupcake!!


Sorry for the shadowy pics!

I made this for a swap I'm in right now. I used a McCall's pattern for vintage aprons. It was really easy and fun. I'll probably making a ton of these for myself in the future!

I crocheted this for my little fur baby today. Unfortunately, it 's too small for him. I guess next time I will check my gauge! I used good old RHSS. Usually he likes posing for pics, but he really hates this tuxedo.

Here's the front before I put buttons on it...


Here's the back....


Here you can tell it is too small and he doesn't like wearing it....


And here's the back with tails...

   I sewed my first pouch using this tutorial http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=22875.0 It was so fast and easy!! It's also the first zipper I've ever done. I see myself making tons of these in the future. Right now I have to go buy more zippers!!

I just finished this bag this morning! I used Simplicity pattern #4178. It's my first succesful attempt at using a sewing pattern, and my first succesful handbag that I've sewn. I'm really proud of it. I just wish it wasn't so plain! I have no idea why the colors are so different in each picture, but the actual color is more like the second photo.

I used yarn from my stash and made this eight point round ripple baby blanket. Geez, what a long title! It was really fast and easy. I used a pattern from Leisure Arts New Crochet Basics pattern book. I know some people with babies on the way, so I've got my hooks goin'!!

I just finished this the other day, and for once I'm actually satisfied with a handbag I made! I crocheted it with Caron Simply Soft, the lining is from my stash, and there's a snap for closure. Thanks for looking!
