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.

Couple of fun hairstyles

Couple of fun hairstyles

hair styles. They are bits and pieces

of others I have seen. I will add video's

 of how to do certain parts. 

Dutch side braid with flower

I did this one for my daughters back

to school night. She also left it in over

night and wore it the next day.

  

 Dutch braid tutorial

 Her ponytail holder had a flower on it. 

So we wrapped it around into a bun and put 

it the flower in the middle and put some

bobby pins to hold it down. 

It was so perfect for a hot summer day. 

Rope style bun

 I wanted something simple but fun. 

I left some of my bangs out and did a a roll

up. Not sure what you call it. But here is how to do it. 

In this video go to about 8:20 in and it will show you

how to do your bangs if you want to do this. 

Video: 6 PIN UP looks for BEGINNGERS

 For the back. I put it back into a ponytail. 

Divide into two parts and then did a

rope braid for each section. Then I wrapped them 

around to form a bun and used bobby pins

to hold them in place.

Fall Wreath

Fall Wreath

I decided instead of buy one this year. I would make my own. I need a new one. 

Supplies:

Yarn

Styrofoam ring

Your choice of decorations

I started by wraping my yarn around the 

Styrofoam ring. Once I got a rhyme down

it was really easy. It took time to do the wrapping. 

I sat and watched some tv as I did mine. 

    I went all the around and then added the decorations next. 

Then I started to wrap my yarn around that till it was all 

covered up. I wanted to cut them shorter but my 

cutter was not working. I need to sharpen it up. 

So I left mine. 

 I left mine like this. But I  want to add a bow to mine 

and I might add the big bells.

 Right know I don't like it alone. 

If you make one. I would love to see yours. 

Send me a email message to wigglewormscorner@gmail.com

If you have any questions feel free to ask. :)

Have fun and Enjoy!

Wavy Hair look

Wavy Hair look

We had a side braid in earlier and when she took it out. 

She loved the look. So on Sunday night. We 

sat and did some french braids in her hair. 

Here is what it looked like when 

we were all done. 

I just used a spray bottle to get it wet as I went along. 

She then slept in them all night long. 

Here is the look in the morning. 

I wanted to curl it under but she liked the way it looked. 

So we left it. She really liked it. 

Happy Styling!

Knotted Hair Bun

Knotted Hair Bun

I like this one. But I do think

my hair needs to be a bit logner

to really get it too look better. If I 

decide to wear it down. Like she 

says in the video. 

It was really easy and fast to do. 

I also only used four bobby pins. Which

for me I usually have to use more then that. 

I am going to wear this tomorrow at 

Scrap Fest. :)

It is a great updo for summer, wedding, or just a 

day you want your hair out of your way.

Happy Styling!

I love her tutorials.

Here is what it looked like when I was done. 

If you don't know how to do a french or Dutch braid. 

Please follow this link and she will help you out. 

How to do  French or Dutch braids

I need to move the braids over a bit and I did not have any 

of those small clear ponytails left. So I had to use 

my girls small color ponytails. I used back with the hope 

it would hide a bit better. 

I took out the bobby pins for the night and left in the braids.

I love the look braids give when they are taken out. So this is what 

I did with my hair today(Sept 6, 2012). 

I just stuck it up with a clip and then

add a cute scarf I had. 

Happy Styling!

Remarkable Fudge

Remarkable Fudge

This is my and my family's favorite fudge. I got this recipe

from my Mom. 

Remarkable Fudge

4  Cups sugar

2  5 1/3 ounce cans evaporated milk

1  Cup butter or margarine

1  12 - ounce package (2 cups) semisweet Chocolate pieces 

1  7- ounce jar marshmallow creme

1  teaspoon vanilla

Butter the sides of heavy 3-quart saucepan. In it combine sugar, evaporated milk, 

and butter or margarine. Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture comes to a 

boiling. Cook to 236 degrees (soft-ball stage), about 12 mins, stirring freequently

(mixture should boil gently over entire surface). Remove from heat. Add remaining

ingredients; stir till combined adn chocolate is melted. Turn into a buttered 9x9x2-inch

or 13x9x9-inch pan. Score into squares while warm; cut when firm. If fudge is soft, chill.

Makes about 3 1/2 pounds.

This is how I open my evaporated milk cans.  My 

girls always love to do this part.

 I melt the butter first. Then once it is all melted. I add the 

sugar and evaporated milk to it.

Once it comes to a boil I put the timer on if you don't have 

a candy thermometer. They cam out to about the same. 

I did have to this time do it a bit longer but since I had 

the candy thermometer I went to what it says. 

I have done it before with the timer and it turns out 

just right.

 The fun part of adding the chocolate and marshmallow

creme.

 Enjoy!!!!

   Happy Cooking!
