Crocheted Round Ripple Blanket

Crocheted Round Ripple Blanket


I'm just in love with this blanket.
It's a very easy pattern to follow along to. 

I got the pattern from Ravelry. All you need is to 
sign up for free. 
Pattern here:

Rainbow Ripple Baby Blanket 

It took me a week to get it finished. 

I would get my girls to bed and sit and 

watch my shows and crochet away. I did 

work on it a few times during the day. 

Nice thing is you can make is smaller or bigger. 

I would like to make one that is bigger for my bed. 

My oldest is in to spiderman. I'm going to make one for 

her for Christmas. So that one will have to be done in secret

after they go to sleep. 

 

If you make one I would love to see a picture of it. 

If you can't crochet and would love a crocheted round ripple blanket.

Making your own hand carved stamp

Making your own hand carved stamp


I have been looking for some yarn stamps. 
I found one but it was smaller then I wanted. 
I just ordered one and really wanted 
it to be personalized. So I thought
I could put the words I wanted around it. 
So I went to youtube to see if I could find a video.
Here is the first one I found. 

Making your own hand carved stamp
Materials: 
- Rubber (Speedball Speedy is what I used)
- Carving tool (I used Speedball Linoleum Cutter
- #2 pencil
- Tracing paper (optional)
- Xacto or retractable blade knife
- Stamp pad
+Paper

1) I first found a design I liked and then just traced over it with my pencil. 

2) Once I traced over it all. I then placed it on my speedball speedy rubber and taped it down to hold it in place. With the back of my speedball linoleum cutter I used the back and pressed down a bit to get the pattern onto the stamp. 
3) Then I started to cut out. Which was a lot of fun. It did take time but I turned on some music and went to work. 
 4) Once I got it to how I felt was good enough. I did a stamp to see how it looked. 

 I was very happy. I had a few spots that needed touching up. I really thought there would be a bit more since it was my
first time. 

Once cleaned up. I did one more stamp test. 

 I can't wait to make more. 
If you try one let me know how it goes and what you think. 

Happy Crafting!!!

Crocheted Star Blanket

Crocheted Star Blanket

I love this blanket. My second loves stars and she inspired me 
to make this one. She wants me to make one as a rug for her 
deep closet. She has a play area in there and needs a rug. 

I got the pattern at the store but here is a link to it:




I had a lot of fun making this and it was
an easy pattern to follow. 


If you make one let me know what you think.  
I would also love to see pictures.
