Update :)

     I am really excited to say that I have a new project underway right now :) If everything turns out the way I want it to, I will have it for sale on Etsy; my finished project & my pattern. It pretty much is a little dress about a 2T-3T size. It has an underwater vibe and will hit home for the Navy wives and mothers out there. At least that is my goal. I love everything with a Dixie Cup. Who doesn't?

     I have also started picking up new crafts. I am slowly teaching myself to knit. I think I just lose patience with it all too quick though. I know there are some extremely cute things I could make by knitting but it is just so much easier to pick up my hook instead. I have started quilting as well! Everything I make will be sold on Etsy as well. You guys will have to leave me comments and let me know what you think. Maybe even give me some great ideas. 

     I wanted to say that I love that everyone is liking my patterns. I would LOVE to see your finished projects! It would be amazing to see. I hope everyone is happy with their projects and would be proud to show them off. 

Crocheting

Crocheting has been a wonderful past time for me. I honestly never thought I would be doing anything like this when I started. My mom taught me when I was 16 and have been doing it ever since. I say that like I am old or something; I'm only 20! I had never completed a real project. I started out making little squares for a throw I was going to give to some one but never made enough but I do still have them and thought of picking them up again. I guess my real project that I finished was a turtle oven mitt a year after I learned. Wasn't very pretty and wasn't even that great but my now mother in law treasures it. I started a few things here and there after that but never put serious thought in to making anything else. When I found out I was pregnant, a spark lit under my butt! I made bibs and I made a blanket... a single blanket. I was so excited about getting back in to and I still see patterns and get really excited. I would love to make my own and come up with some beautiful projects that everyone could enjoy. I just don't even know where to begin. Maybe I am not as creative? I love most of the stuff that Alli Crafts (http://allicrafts.blogspot.com/) has shared. I use a lot of her patterns for gifts and stuff. She has beautiful work. I am completely jealous ;) Crocheting hasn't only been a past time for me though. It has pulled me out of some holes. You would be surprised what finishing even just a little project can do for you. That little accomplishment brings me a sense of joy. I love it because it can take my mind off of anything that is bothering me.
