Crochet Ladybug Bag

I made this bag for my daughter.  I couldn't decide if I wanted to make eyes for it, so I left them off.  Less is more, right?

Summer's Night Infinity Wrap

Have you ever been to the store and seen yarn that you HAD to buy?  It doesn't happen to me very often, I can usually talk myself down from it, but not yesterday.  I am walking down a yarn isle, looking for yarn for a future project, when these vibrant colors catch my eye.  Without thinking, I put the yarn in my basket and continued on my way. 
What ended up in my cart was Yarn Bee Aurora Borealis Twist in Fruit Punch.  Even the name sounds fun!
These pictures don't do the colors justice.  It was hard to get my daughter to stay still for the pictures.  She was much more interested in playing!

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it at first, but it hit me this morning....I'll make a wrap for my daughter!
I sat down with my hook and had this wrap finished in less than an hour!

Adult Size Breath of Spring Hat

After posting the Toddler Breath of Spring Hat (pattern can be found here), I had a lot of requests for an adult size pattern, so here it is....FINALLY!  I know it took a while to get this finished.  I thought I would have been able to crochet this up sooner, but between wip's and family, it took some time.  Thanks for being so patient with me and understanding.  :)

Tulip Garden Scarf

Tulips are my FAVORITE Spring flower.  I wanted to make something that was Springy, but would keep me warm at the soccer fields.  It is always sooo windy out there.  Today I will be sporting my new scarf.  :)

Flower headband

I was in the process of making something (pattern to come), when I realized that what I had could be turned into something for my daughter.
I LOVE this headband.  They way I have the pattern written, the headband is not adjustable, though it has an ok amount of stretch to it.  Come to think of it, it could be made adjustable.  (instructions to come)
This headband size is child 3-10.  It fits well on my almost 4 year old and stretches to fit my 9 year old.  (he wasn't to happy when I placed it on his head  lol)

Cutie!

Egg shaped goody bags

I don't know about you, but I am a SUCKER for Easter candy.  It is my absolute favorite candy.  So, every year I just sprinkle jelly beans and m&m's into my kids' Easter baskets.  Of course, every year we end up with a huge jelly bean mess.  Either the kids drop them around the house, or they somehow spill out.

This year, I decided to make them something to place the jelly beans in.  I made a little egg shaped goody bag.  It is absolutely PERFECT!  I may have to make one for myself, too.  I am a sucker for Easter colored M&M's.  ;)

Easter goody bag

The bags work up fast enough, that you could easily make enough for a whole classroom of kiddos.  You could fill them with stickers, erasers, candy, pencils (though they would stick out the top), stamps, gift cards...the possibilities are endless. 

In the picture I am showing one laid flat and the other is lightly stuffed, just to try to show the shape a bit better.

Breath of Spring Hat

This hat matches the Breath of Spring Scarf.  The pattern is very easy and quick to work up.  This pattern is for Toddler size, Toddler-age 3.  I will be working *at least* a child size hat in this style. I can't wait to get some pictures of my daughter in one of these hats!

Airy Breath of Spring Scarf

 I bought some yarn, not knowing what I was going to make with it.  I just loved the color.  The yarn is Hobby Lobby's "I love this yarn" in the color Peacock.  I don't think the photos do this color justice.  It is probably my new favorite color.
With no real plan in mind, I just picked up my hook and started playing around.  I ended up with this scarf.  I think it is perfect for Spring. 


I used about half the skein for the scarf.  I think I will be making a matching hat, tonight.  :)
The toddler hat is finished!  You can check it out HERE!

Water bottle Kozie pattern

This is one of the items that I have been making since I started to crochet.  It is also one of the first items that I made without a pattern.  Our Kozies get a lot of use in the Spring and Summer months.
There are TONS of ways you can change the Kozies up.  With Spring right around the corner, you could crochet a few of my 3-layer flowers!  That would be really cute!  The free pattern for the flower can be found here. 
I will post some additional Kozie ideas in a later post.  :)
