Where has this month gone?

categories: Blankets, Sewing Items

Ok, so I need to get on board with Blogging A LOT more! I mean between school, work, sports and the flu??? UGH! I’m just barely feeling a little better!

Geez I truly had not meant to be MIA for this long! BUT I do have LOTS to share and I’ll be sharing a little bit every day!

1st up is this SUPER cute “Mini” Rag Tag Quilt blanket and a Crinkle toy that I made with Sponge Bob Fabric! Love how bright the fabric is! I just need to wash it a few times to start the ragging process. I had this fabric left over from making my daughter a Rag Quilt Purse. I’ve got some more goodies up my sleeve!

Until my next share thanks for stopping, have questions please ask and as always….

Happy Craftin’

So here are my 18″ Doll Size Mermaid Tails I created! I was totally inspired by MJ’s Off the Hook Creations as I mentioned in another post! I LOVE how fast as easy these are to work up! I’ve had some of crochet friends test the pattern for me and made a few changes and it’s ready! So here is it FREE for all my “Hookin’ Friends” to enjoy!

Happy 2016 Crafters!

categories: Blankets, General

Hello all and Happy 2016 – I have to say the last month of December was a blur for me! I literally was bombarded with Mermaid Tail Orders ALL month LONG! OH and a craft fair at the beginning of the month too! BUT I was able to get ALL my orders done!
Here are the 1st two that sold! These are Child Sizes in Lavender Blue & Ocean Tide!

I’ll share more a little later along with a Doll version I created using the same pattern. Which is from MJ’s Off the Hook Designs. It’s an AWESOME pattern which can be found on Ravelry.com. Also quick and FAST to make up. Which is always nice! Well need to get my Xmas decorations put away so I’ll have the rest of the day to play! Thanks for stopping by and come back a little later as I’ll be sharing more goodies and the Best Christmas Gift I got!

Happy Craftin’,

What’s been on my Hook

categories: Blankets

Hey all! So it’s been crazy busy over here. I’ve been getting ready for a Craft Fair I’ll be in very soon and time is just ticking away! Plus I’m really looking forward to seeing my Daughter and Son-In-Law in a few weeks!! Looking forward to that!

On to what I’ve been working on –

SO I’ve been seeing all these GORGEOUS Mermaid Blankets in a variety of colors and finally I broke down and made one!

I absolutely LOVE how this came out! So as you see mine is Black & Grey well I’m representing “Ursula” which most know is from the “Little Mermaid”.

I had a lot of this yarn and well that’s the first thing that popped into my head! So right away I thought I’ve got to do the Evil Mermaid! LOL!

Extremely happy with how it turned out! Below in the next picture is the back of it. So you see how to get into it! Talk about warm & cozy???

What do you think? I know I’m for sure going be making more! In colors of course! With the Holiday’s just around the corner these would make GREAT gifts! If you are interested I will take orders. I’ll be adding to my Etsy Shop very soon!

If you are a crocheter looking for this pattern you can find it HERE! It’s a great pattern and super easy to work up! Questions? Please comment here!

As always thanks for stopping by and Happy Craftin’,
