baby bundles + stuff in my crochet shop}}

















Hello all!! I wanted to fill you in on what I've been crocheting/ have crocheted, and share some info on the baby bundles that I'm doing Lord willing this month!!!

Baby bundles for the needy 

Items to include:
  • 1 receiving blanket (minimum size: 30” x 30”)
  • 1 heavier blanket (minimum size: 30” x 30”; preferred size: 30″ by 40″)
  • 6 diapers (please use new fabric, absorbent 100% cotton or flannel, minimum size:
    18” x 27”; preferred size: 21” x 36”)
  • 2 sleepers (3-12 months)
  • 2 rubber panties (3-12 months)
  • 2 undershirts or onesies
  • 2 pairs socks or booties
  • 1 baby cap
  • 4 diaper pins or safety pins (minimum size: 2 inches)

We have to buy these new and I'm also going to try and make the diapers, I'll just need fabric. I won't be able to make one if nobody buys anything- but it's in the Lord's hands. If you want to buy something please email me!!! I REALLY wanted to make at least one. Anything you buy helps!!! Remember I have baskets, octopuses, coasters, cozies, baby shoes, hats, angel baby clothes, scarves, gloves, and more!!! If there's anything you'd think you want then just ask me and I can see if i can make it. (stuffed animals, etc)

My goal: $30.00


So over on my crochet shop, I'm selling adorable things such as barefoot sandals, hats, angel baby dresses/jacket, messy bun hats, fingerless gloves, scarves, phone+cup+jar+chapstick cozies, alllll da coasters, baskets, and I can try to make whatever you would like!!! 
tbh my 'shop' is hardly anything. Either not one person has followed it, or the thing just isn't showing if anybody has bc it says 0 right now. :| I'm not discouraged about it, but I can't help people like I envisioned myself being able to help people when I started it, if nothing sells. I've had 2 orders..... since August. I think that getting a FB page for just my crocheting would help, but we'll see what my parents think. ;D 
If any of you would please share my crochet blog, perhaps on your blog or any other social media site that you have, I'd appreciate it muchly!!!! (i know that's not a word :P ) Or if you wanted to buy anything, or want something I haven't listed, please, please just email me!!!!! I'd love to crochet a little somethin' (or a big somethin') for ya!!! xD

Please comment if you want a price. Or email, both work just fine ;D

Hopefully I'll be back sometime in January with pics of putting together the baby bundles if I get enough money to do them!!

I'M NOW SELLING MESSY BUN HATS!!!!!!!!!!!! (CALLING ALL CROCHETER FRIENDS!)

I'm so terribly excited to start selling these! It's a hat with an elastic hole on top, so you can have your hair in a pony tail or a bun while wearing your [awesome] hat!
25% of the profit all goes to helping people!
I do have one problem with the pattern. It's not that big of a problem, but I'd still like to correct it. And anyone who crochets can hopefully understand what I'm talking about, and be able to give me some advice!
So for the hat I am basically double crocheting (dc) all around. Then I connect it to the start of the last round that I started. I then chain 2, and start double crocheting all over again! When it is done (and while I'm making it) it turned out to have a little curve to the one side of it.  (I really hope I'm making sense! 😐) I hope that one of you can think of what I might be doing wrong! I'd really appreciate any suggestions, on anything really! Please comment and tell me what you think!
I'll add a picture of the curve thingy  on the hat.
And if you want one then just comment and I'll figure stuff out with you! I'm so excited! 😃😊

See, it's not that big. But I was wondering why it makes a "v" line where I connect it,  instead of being straight. 😕😦

Did I already mention that I'M. SO. EXCITED. 😃😃😃

Firsts!

I have been crocheting a LOT and thought I'd share with you the things I've made! There aren't pictures of them, but  let's get started anyways!
I learned how to make doilies a little while ago, and that has been really fun!
I have also been making baby boots! They are so easy And fun to make!
Right now I am working on a scarf! It will probably take quite a while, but I am trying to be patient and stay focused on it!
I can also make simple little things like, flowers, butterflies, and bookmarks!
I love crocheting! It is so fun and easy and totally awesome!
I can also make simple little things like, flowers, butterflies, and bookmarks! Oh, and I've also made a hat! :)
My parents got me a "Crochet-opedia", as an early birthday present, and I am just loving it!!!!
Can you say, best parents ever? I don't know what I'd do without them, seriously.

What have you been crocheting/making/doing lately?
         The scarf (so far:) and my crochet opedia!
