Weekend Project

Here is what I worked on this weekend. I think I developed carpal tunnel syndrome but I suppose it is worth it. Overall I think this turned out ok. It is very tedious and hard to keep it neet. I will try another one but thought that I would show you my first try. Excuse the ratty looking threads sticking out and the clasp looking funny....

Rainy Monday

So, here is what I accomplished on my rainy day. I made this cute tutu. It is supposed to be the University of Cincinatti but I think it would be so cute as a ladybug tutu. I can picture a little girl wearing a black leotard under it. I could aslo attach little black pom poms on it too. Just an idea.


I also thought that I would try to make some crochet earrings. They turned out pretty cute. I think I will add beads or some type of bling to the next ones I make. What do you think?

My newest projects

So, here are a few things that I have been working on. I have a client who has the cutest twins so I made them these super cute and easy hats. I cant wait to see the girls wearing them. I will definatly post pics. This comes from the blog Rockin' like a Hermet Crab.

I also made a cool necklace for my friend Candice. She is really funky and I thought this would be perfect for her. I will also get a pic of her wearing it too. I got this project from A Common Thread.

I get most of my projects of Ravelry.com.

Long time, not type

Sorry I have not blogged in a while. I have been super busy with stuff, I dont know what stuff but I am sure it was very important. I have been crocheting like a mad woman, making tutus, cutting hair and of course watching football!

I am so excited that an article was written about me and my sister in laws business, Whimsyroos, in the Roanoke Times. It is a great article with lots of good photos. We have gotten a great response from the article. Here is the link http://www.roanoke.com/news/nrv/business/wb/275582

We are going to start working on getting our inventory of tutus together and getting into stores this Spring. We also have a few festivals that we will be selling tutus in this summer.

So, things are going good. I have made a few new crochet projects. I am still learning but am slowly getting the hang of it. My cats seem to be my only models as of now.

My newest project

Here is my newest creation. I made this hat with no pattern. Everyone knows how I hate to follow patterns and they are so confusing. So I made my own, I just have to remember how I did it. Lol. I am making some more. This isnt exactly how I wanted it to look but I am pretty proud of it for my first hat. Moving up from scarves!

A new project

This is my newest addition to my crochet collection. I love it. It doesnt look as cute on me as the demo. I will post more pics when I make more. What do you think? The girls at work liked it, but one said I looked like a baby with a headband on! :(

I am also doing Crochet...

I also just started crotheting ( is that a real word?). Anyway I am making all kinds of scarves, headbands and flowers are my newest thing. My cat Motley likes to help me when I do my crafts. He is my model. I do have a store on Etsy, under MajikThreads. I will be adding more to it soon.

Also, check out my other blog 365 of Motley. He is excited to share his daily pictures of his very active lifestyle!
