Lil Miss Legwarmers

Lil Miss Legwarmers



These were so much fun to make. My 8 year old picked the 
yarn out herself. I went back to get more to make some mittens,
scarf and hat for her. But sadly they discontinued it at the store. 
I am going to check online to see if they still have it. 

Here is the link:


Here is fun pictures I showed of at the start. To show a sneak peek look. 


I was playing with my little one on the floor. When Iooked up. I thought
what a cool picture this would be. 


 Idea I like to do with patterns that say how many inches needs to be. 
I have a counter and like to write down how many rows I was on. 
Then I don't have to measure all the time and get them exactly 
the same. Then next time I can just go with those rows. 
Just a small hint/idea if you are starting out or 
well just didn't think of it.




I can't wait to make more in other colors.

Chinese Staircase Stitch Ponytail Hairsyle

Chinese Staircase Stitch Ponytail Hairstyle
Tutorial


I just love this look and it is just fitting for crocheting. 
It reminds me  of the look of a a single crochet look. 

It was so easy to do. I used my Bed Head 
stuff to hold the fly a ways. But you can use whatever you
would like to. 


Here is the link I got it from:

Here is a close up

If you do this look. I would love to see it and/or  what you think. 

Happy Styling!

Quick Bun Updo

Quick Bun Updo + Dries to Curls



Today I tried this cute hair style. It was very easy to do. 
Here is the video from youtube on how to do it. 


I do not put anything in my wet hair. I thought I will try it out
and see how it turns out. I did use a bit of this in the front of my hair. 


I got this a few years ago from my beautician.I really like this stuff. 
What I like the most is a little goes a long way. That is why I have 
had it for so long. 

Here is what my hair looks like today. 



Not the best side view. Since I took it myself. But you can still see the 
bun part. 
I can't wait to see what it looks like once my hair drys. I will get picture's 
of that later and post it tomorrow for you all to see. 

Wow look at all that grey hair. I knew I was getting quite a bit but 
this really does surprise me a bit more.

Happy styling!

Creative Idea's

What a great idea this is. 


When I get one made I will post pictures. I just need to finish up one of my 
containers. I thought this would be great use for our car. 

Another one I saw was 

I need to get a picture for myself. I don't want to copy and use there's. 
 
Make the most perfect potato wedges for your family using an apple corer/wedger!!!
 
 
Coat with olive oil
  salt
 ground black pepper 

Place wedges on lined baking sheet. Bake for about 35 minutes at 450. 
Turn the wedges half way through to ensure they brown evenly! 


Here is another idea I would love to do. When we get this
done I will share pictures too.

getting lots of different ways to use things

Free online class on Know Your Wool

I thought some may like this. I am signed up and can't wait to watch later tonight when the girls are in bed. Here is what Craftys said:

"Learn about the fibers you are crocheting in the free online Craftsy class Know Your Wool with Deborah Robson! You will develop an understanding of the different wools used for yarns and the best use for each. The best part is that this class isn't limited to a classroom - you'll follow Deborah as she wanders around a wool market, getting to know shepherds, vendors and sheep along the way! To take a closer look at this free Craftsy class, click: Know Your Wool"

I hope you enjoy!
Let me know what you think. 

Happy crafting!

Crocheted Tutu skirt

Crocheted Tutu Skirt

I had so much fun making this. 
Here is the link to the pattern I used.

Baby Tutu

 I did do mine a bit different there she did. 


She had it where you tie off at the end and then start with the first
ruffle at the top. I added my first one at the bottom and worked my way up.
Which I am glad I did. I like this one with just three ruffles. Instead
of four ruffs. 

I also need to add another button to the back. One is just not enough. She had where you 
sew it closed. I thought adding a button would be cute this way. I do really like it. But like 
I said I need to add one more button. So I don't get this big gap.  

 I would like to do ones that are longer for my older girls in colors they would like. 

I did this one for Football coming up soon.  

If you don't know how to crochet and would like one.  Please come to either one of these pages to get one.

Tie Dying Cotton Yarn

Tie Dying Cotton Yarn
I got the idea from here : 

This is what I used to do mine. I did this with my old girls. They had so much fun.


Suppiles needed:
Gloves
White Embroidery Floss
Rubber bands(if wanted, mine still blended in a bit)
Dye( I used what you get for Tie Dying shirts)


I divided mine up into three parts and started to slowly add
color to where I wanted it. 




After I was done. I let it air dry over night or you can also
use a blow dryer on it. Then I washed it out a bit. To get any
extra color off. This is what mine looked like when all finished with that. 


Here is what I started to work on for myself and my girls. We 
are making beaded bracelets out of them. 

If you have any questions. Please feel free to ask. 
Happy Tie Dying!
