What I've Been Up To!

In My Crafty Corner: I began making these dolls before Christmas, but didn't make time to finish them. I finally completed 1 yesterday and was so excited, I took a picture of it and gave it to it's intended owner. Hopefully Miss. Em will nap today so that I can finish the other two (I'm crossing my fingers). I found and purchased the pattern for this delightful girlies on Posie gets cozy. I decided to use material in red for the holiday, but I think they could be displayed year round.


In My Crochet Corner: I mentioned that I've been crocheting quite a bit lately. I got back on the hook by making scarves for my boy's teachers. Then I decided to make a scarf for myself and once Emmie saw it, I realized quickly I needed to make one for her. While making all these scarves, I decided to ripp a blanket I began making my husband a couple of years ago and started all over from scratch. I've run out of yarn so I'm waiting for it to go on sale so I can buy more. In the mean time, I did the same thing with a blanket I began making my son a couple of years ago; ripped it and started over. Now I'm at the same point with his blanket, I need more yarn, but I have to order his yarn online because my local Joanns doesn't carry it anymore. Wow, is it pricey, even on sale. He better use this blanket until he gets out of college or ELSE!

Oh I was just passing by so I thought I'd drop a comment on your blog. I just love your cute flamingo at the top of your blog. Your scarves on your blog are really nice. I'm looking to get back into crocheting. I did make a little scarf for my grandson though.
