A Newb bearing gifts...

I joined this group not too long ago (like a week or so, really...) and really like the idea of how this works! Plus, it gives me extra motivation! I love working on small things, mainly for the "instant gratification" that goes along with them! So, here is one of my small projects for sharing! And don't worry, I have more to share as later!



This rabbit I made for my son, Alex, for Easter. I used the "Best Bunny" pattern from Lion Brand Yarn. I just think it's sooo cute. I also made another one for a coworker and her daughter but didn't have time to get a picture of it before I had to give it to her.

This was also my first attempt at amigurumi and I think I really like it! In fact, I have a monkey to make for my little one now and will gladly share that too whenever I get done with it!

What a beautiful day!!

And I spent the vast majority of it in the house working on some crochet stuff...

Not that I minded, trust me!! I now have an absolutely adorable pair of fingerless mittens based off of this pattern by CreativeYarn. I crocheted it in Caron Simply Soft Plum Wine, so it is really girly! So outside the norm for me! But then agian so is all my other crafting things lately!

I'm now working on a matching scarflette, based off of the pattern used for the mitts, photos coming soon!! As well as a pattern.

I figured it must be a wonderful day today, because we had two groups of visitors to our home cache today, very unusual! But nice! Happy caching to those who got out today to do so! We probably would've went out yesterday caching some, except that mike had a stomach bug that just wasn't doing him any favors, so we stayed at home.

How pretty...

while reading my weekly blogs (I have lots of them I just love to read) I came across this website, thanks to enchanted crafts.

I thought, oh how neat, gotta try it!

So, here's mine!
