Hi Crafters!
Well I am done with my latest project! I was done a few days ago BUT needed to take pictures! I have been wanting to make one of these Baby Cocoons for some time now. I am very pleased with the way it’s turned out!
The materials used for this project are Red Heart Super Saver in White & Coffee and the hook I used for this project is Clover Brand Amour Crochet Hook 1049/J. I normally use Boye hooks but lately I’ve been wanting to try out different types and styles. You can see the image and link below. I have to say it took me a little bit to adjust to it but once I got comfortable with it I loved how smooth it was. The handle has an easy grip too! I was able to crochet a lot longer which is always a PLUS!
Well now what will be on my HOOK next???? You’ll have to wait and see – it’s been something I’ve been wanting to make for some time now but just had to finish the “WIP’s” I already had laying around! Ok, I have one more BUT it’s a knitting project! Does that count?? Oh well – thanks for stopping & as always…..
Happy Monday Crafters!!

Well it’s April 1st – Where did the last 3 months go???? Yikes! Well I have to say this morning I totally April Fooled my son! He was all ready for school and we were just about to leave and I said “Hey, I just got a text and No School today!” Oh you should of seen his face light up! Oh it was priceless! Especially when I told him “April Fools!” LOL! Oh man it was good!
Anyway, I’ve had this Bunny put aside for a little bit and finally pulled her out to finish her! I’m on a Crochet Group on Facebook and there’s a lady there and she just has the most adorable dolls EVER! I’ll have to share one of her Dolls here but will ask permission first!
Anyway it totally got me inspired to finish my Bunny. So glad I did….they will be listed in my Etsy Shop soon just need to take a proper Photo Shoot! I just LOVE her cuteness. If you look close you’ll notice in her rollers those are Tootsie Rolls! Doesn’t she just make you smile?

Hello Crafters!
Can’t believe Spring is here! Sorry to have been MIA it was a super crazy busy end of 2014 and didn’t stop at the beginning of 2015!
I wanted to share a few things I’ve been working on. This time of year is when Baseball starts in my house so let’s just say “It’s all about that BASE” for sure!
I had an order for a Baseball Hat and soon I’ll have some in my Etsy shop! Will post more little peaks on what I’m working on a little later too!
Love how this turned out! Below is a close up of the flower on the hat! Isn’t the button just way to cute!
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and as always……

I wanted to share some hats & beanies that I donated in August. So what does 29 Headbands & 34 Beanies look like? Started these on Friday July 25th and they were ALL finished by Monday August 4th! My Mom helped with some of the hats and so did my Daughter & Son-in-law! Yep he loomed a hat!
They went to an Orphanage in Zambia – You can read about the Mission HERE! Loved making them! I have to see if I can get pics with the kids wearing them! I would LOVE to see that!
I hope to be making some more hats for an Orphanage in Mexico that they go to more frequently. I barely made a dent in the yarn that I have.
If you are interested in helping out please let me know. We can get together at my house! I’ll want to plan a “Hookin’ Date” soon! Crocheters, Knitta’s and Loomers welcome! Just want to donate leave me a comment here or you can email me at yvonne@yvonnemetz.com
Hope you all have a great weekend! We’ve got a tournament this weekend so my time will be spent at the ball park! Yes, I’ll have my yarn & bag with me! Wait til you see what I’m working on. Maybe I’ll try to show you just a little teaser!
