1. I made a special gift for a dear friend that is the newest member of the 30+ club! Yay, L'Erin! Because she is a woman of whimsy, like moi, lol, I made her a scarf! It's a 21 star salute to my elfin friend in her favorite colors! I made 21 stars with acrylic yarn in eggplant and vermillion... Well, those are my names for those colors. They are standard Red Heart Saver yarns, Med. Purple and Claret. After I made all 21 stars, I crocheted them together with a chain stitch. She loves it! I'm glad!
This is how it looked when I blocked it!
2. I decided to put all my 100% cotton yarn to good use and make my nephew some sun visors. It gets incredibly hot in Atlanta, and I still need to protect President Bam-Bam's eyes from the sun. Hats can get too bulky, tho I may make him some in the same cottons. I purchased this cotton from mysticalcreationyarns on Etsy a few years back with the intention of making myself some tank tops. That didn't happen, lol, so now I'm using it. The yarn is hand dyed 100% cotton. I wish the seller were still on Etsy. She isn't, but I'd love to link her to give her credit for the yarn I have. I'm using the yarn and an F hook. I'll keep you posted on my progress, I'm 50% thru the band.
See the yarn?
3. I received my VistaPrint cards and I love them! They are very similar to my actual blog page which is super! The colors match almost perfectly and it was just one of their free templates! WooHoo! I highly reccomend them. And if you are on Twitter, and who isn't, check them out @VistaPrint for great deals on their alredy low prices! I will be leaving my cards everywhere in ATL and in all purchases...
Thanks for reading, and I should be able to post pics soon, if Physics doesn't kill me! And I'm hoping to open an Etsy store... Cross your fingers!
Happy Crafting!
