Christmas in July

Let the posting continue! These scarfs were actually made back in the winter months, but this post goes perfect with Christmas in July. The green scarf is the first knitting project I ever started and the purple one in the first I ever finished. (Took a break from the small stitching of the green one to make the purple) :P I think the green needs some fringe, but overall I'm happy to see them completed. I'll be excited to wear these again next winter.

Balloon Columns

When Shelby and her siblings went on a mission trip I wanted to do something special for when they got back. What's better to come home to than balloons? (Besides a warm hug from your significant other.) These are the first columns I've done and where a surprise I was happy to give.

Microphone Cupcakes

For my boss's birthday I wanted to give it a pop dance party feel. What could be better to match that than Microphone Cupcakes? Just try to resist singing into one after you make you. You can't!

Duck Cupcakes

For a going away party for a great coworker I created a rubber duckie theme based on Ernie from Sesame Street. The theme included these wondrous duck cupcakes created from the book What's New, Cupcake? It's amazing how a cupcake, marshmallows, donut holes, and various candies are used to make something completely different and VERY cool.

Mother's Day Koala

Happy belated Mother's Day. Included with the yellow roses and new coffee maker mom also received this adorable crocheted koala. No gifting holiday is complete without something handmade. This is also another pattern from Amigurumi Two by Ana Paula Rimoli.

Baby Blanket

Since Shelby's aunt was having a baby, I decided to create a baby blanket. I used the pattern on the back of LionBrand's Pound of Love yarn.

6 Months Later...

So, everyone is probably wondering what happened to the blog. All I can give you is the same excuses of school, work, girlfriend, and so forth. I even starred in a community play and had the unfortunate task of taking a summer class. While all this slowed the blog it didn't stop my crafting. Updates are soon to follow, including posts on Mother's day, scarfs, cupcakes, and more!
