Been a Year!

Well, I can't believe it's been a year since I've posted in my blog! I've been so busy crocheting, and getting my crochet business off the ground. So far so good. I've created alot of crochet addicts and I love it! So many people have told me that they have tried and tried to learn crochet from books, websites with illustrations, but couldn't do it. And when they got my videos, they were crocheting within minutes and were soooooooo happy!

Well, I will have to post pictures of my latest projects in my next post...until then, happy crocheting!

Having Fun!

It's very hot and humid here in NH, but I'm still having alot of fun with my crocheting. I'm also have SO much fun in my Forum We just finished our 2nd mystery crochet along! That is where we swapped patterns, without the pictures and had to guess as we were doing the pattern what we were working on...it has been alot of fun!

I've also been doing up alot of projects. I just finished this bucket hat. It was a very easy pattern! This will be for my mother to match her poncho that I made her this spring.



Here is a tissue box cover that I also just finished. I really loved doing this project. It's even cuter in person!!!!!! I'll be making quite a few of these for gifts.





This floor mat was my first mystery pattern.....I love it and plan on making more of these also!













I have recently been working on creating some of my own patterns and this is my very first one. It's a potholder/hotpad.


I would love to have more of you crocheters join my forum...we really do have alot of fun there. And for those of you who don't crochet, I have instructional videos that you can find here I also have Project Videos for those that really have a hard time reading and understanding patterns. The ones available right now are a Hat, Socks, and a Beach Bag which I just finished. You just follow along with the video and you can make your own hat, socks and bag.......

Well, that's about it for my projects right now..I have alot of projects in the works so until next time...............HAPPY CROCHETING! :)

Crochet Forum

I'm so glad to see people joining our little crochet world, (My Forum). We really do have alot of fun and really enjoy crocheting together, helping each other out and watching others making great projects! I'm really having fun meeting and getting to know everyone!

I have been working on some projects since my last post. Here are a few of them:

I needed a tote to carry my crochet stuff in when I go out and have to wait in offices, or my car etc..



I ran out yarn making a project, don't remember what at the moment, so I grabbed some baby yarn I had and made this jumper.















This is a onesie that I really loved making! Can you tell I love making baby items?! LOL

















I just finished this baby set in the last 15 minutes. I figured I should do a boy outfit since it seems I'm mosting doing girl things! :)















Right now I am working on a summer top for myself..however I ran out of yarn as I mentioned above...and I think it may be too big for me. So, I will have to get more yarn to make it a bit smaller for myself...but I'm committed to making something to wear for myself! It's a pretty baby green color and it's a pretty shell pattern. Stay tuned, more to come.

If you would like to learn to crochet, you can visit my Website You will be crocheting within minutes of watching the video and soon you will be able to make your own beautiful projects. There's nothing like the feeling of accomplishment when you finish a project, and better yet, when you give your items as a gift to a friend or family member. Gifts made from the heart are the best gifts to receive!

Until the next post.....
Happy Crocheting!

Small Projects

Well, now that I have finished that afghan (previous post), I've had even more time to work on my Crochet Forum and my new Crochet Pattern Directory. I'm trying to make the directory the one-stop directory for patterns. It has everything you can think of! I will be continually adding new patterns as they arise. Also my Learn Crochet Now Site is getting a new makeover. This is a site where you can get crochet videos to help you learn to crochet when books and pictures just don't cut it. It's much easier to learn by actually seeing it done close-up and personal! :)

I've also been very busy doing some projects. Since finishing the "Vintage Popcorn Granny" afghan, (my friend absolutely LOVED it), I have been wanting to work on smaller projects. Not ready to do a "big" project just yet. Here is a crochet hook case that I really needed to organize my hooks. This was challenging to make, but fun at the same time!
























One thing I absolutely love making is baby clothes, especially dresses...so here's a dress that I really enjoyed making!












I needed a tote to carry all my crocheting supplies in when I go out..so I made this tote.









I made this remote caddy to have another place to put them rather than laying on the table.













I thought this was cute when I saw the pattern, so I decided to make myself one!









I also thought this was cute so I made one for my kids bathroom since the paper rolls are usually thrown all over the floor. Now there's a nice neat place to keep them. And I also made one for my mother...





So, as you can see, I've been busy. Right now I'm working on a rug for the kids bathroom......It's coming along nicely.......

Well, now I need to get some cleaning done so I can go back to my crocheting..LOL :)

Happy Crocheting!

Projects and more projects

Well besides keeping my Forum and my Crochet Pattern Directory up to date, I've been working on 3 different projects. I'm working on a granny yoke baby dress, a tote, and a crochet hook case that we started on last night in the crochet along. I can't wait to get each one done!

I sent out the Vintage Popcorn Granny afghan out yesterday and hopefully it'll get to my friend by her birthday. I can't wait til she gets it..I wish I could be there to see the look on her face!

Well, even though my Forum is faily new, I have 63 members and I would love to have alot more...so if you love to crochet and want to have a neat place to come to, we'd love to have you! We do crochet alongs and I love pictures, so whenever someone finishes a project, we post a picture of it so everyone can see everyone's lovely work! My Crochet Pattern Directory has loads of patterns to choose from..........believe me, it's hard to choose with all those patterns. If you want to learn to crochet and have not been successful with books or pictures....I have a site that has videos that teach you to crochet as if you were sitting right there learning. It has close up video of how stitches are made and where they are put..There are 6 videos to choose from for your level of crochet......so, if you've been wanting to learn, check out my Crochet Website.

Pictures of my projects to come soon!

Finally!

I have finally finished the "Vintage Popcorn Granny Afghan" that I was making for my friend for her birthday surprise. I will ship it out May 11th!



It came out so pretty, I'm really pleased with it. It's hard to see in the picture, but there is green around the popcorns...




Right now, I am working on a beach bag for my next video. Hopefully that will be ready for release next week. I figured since the warmer weather is coming, it would be nice to make something that we can use during the summer season! This bag is not from a pattern...just doing it on my own with granny squares.

If you want to learn to crochet your own beautiful projects..you can visit my Website I have received nothing but wonderful comments on how people have tried to learn other ways, unsuccessfully, and have learned very quickly following my videos! That makes me feel soooo good! And if you already crochet, I have a Crochet Forum We'd love to have more members joining...we have alot of fun there. And we are all crochet addicts..LOL You don't have to be a experienced crocheter to join the forum. We have crochet alongs which is great for that not so experienced crocheter...we have alot of patterns to look at, and we have a fun place for you to visit! Please join in the fun, I'd love to have you!

If you enjoy looking for patterns..here's a great Site with lots of patterns!

Well, guess it's time to get back to my beach tote!

Happy Crocheting!

Absolutely the cutest!

This recent project has to be absolutely the cutest baby set I've ever done! I just saw it one day and had to make it. I bought the yarn Wednesday and Wednesday evening it was done. It's so much fun to work and very quick also. Once you get started, you can't stop!









I also just finished a hat that I made for my hat video. This is project 2 in my line of videos. This one takes you through the creation of this hat since I know it's much easier to follow along than reading a pattern! You can see my line of videos at my Website








You can also visit my Forum It's really a fun place to come and talk crochet, get lots of patterns and show off your projects!


I'm still working on my "Vintage Popcorn Granny" Afghan for my friend. Putting the black rounds on now...it's going to be pretty when it's done! Time to go visit friends in my forum...

Happy Crocheting!

Ahhh, Warm Weather

Oh how I love the warm weather. Finally warming up a bit here in NH. Although it's always perfect crocheting weather in the winter, I do look forward to the warmer weather. And I plan to continue on my crocheting projects. I have so many things on my "to do" list that I'm just going to knock them off one at a time. I usually wait until there's a need for something...like a baby coming to make baby things. Well, I'm not doing that anymore. I'm just going to make all the things I think are cute and I'll have them whenever the need comes up.

I've already got a great start on Christmas....in fact, I may even be done! LOL I have to check my inventory though.

I'm still working on the "Vintage Popcorn Granny Square" afghan, and I should have it ready for shipment to my friend by May 11th.

I just finished a paperback book cover tote that was a crochet along in my Forum. I really love this little tote, no one can spy on what you are reading at the beach or wherever you might be.. :)




Right now, I am working on a hat, but mostly working on the popcorn afghan. Well, that's about it in my crochet happy world...If you are interested in learning to crochet..and don't know where to start..you might want to check out my Website There is a variety of videos that you can learn from and you'll be crocheting in no time. I've received SO many responses back from people that have used my videos to learn crochet and they are so excited that they now know how to crochet....especially after trying to learn from books or pictures and directions. These videos are the way to go! Until next time...Happy Crocheting!
