Hi :)

Don't have any Easter/Spring decorations? Have lots of scraps of yarn? Then today's project is perfect for you!

Fun and quick and gets rid of those super small amounts of yarn that you might not know what the heck to do with :)

Have a great Monday!!



On another note, my hubby is going in for a pretty serious procedure this morning so lots of positive vibes and prayers (if you pray) our way. I'm very anxious and nervous... I will try to update, but I won't be going into too much detail, as I want to keep some personal things to myself.

She recently started selling some of her artwork on Etsy in her shop: Fat Babe Designs.


You guys, these portraits are the most amazing thing I've laid eyes on.


Here are some of my favorite portraits that she has done:

monday funday :: basket weave blanket



Hi :)

Since it is Springtime, and lots of baby showers are coming up, today's project is a quick (ish) pattern for anyone wanting to give a home made gift: Basket Weave Blanket

Basketweave Blanket
(knit version via)


(crochet version via)

I have given handmade baby sets at showers before and let me tell you, it is THE best feeling seeing the (emotional/hormonal) mommy-to-be opening your gift with tears in her eyes and absolutely gushing over it.

Nothing is better than handmade with love, in my opinion :)

Give it a try!

Today I thought I'd share a few things I've been working on these past few weeks.

You might have seen a few of these things on here before, or Instagram, or my Ravelry Project page, or Flickr, or maybe even the blog's Facebook Page...

Anyways, (LOL) I'm going to share here too :)


I finished these beauties for my buddy Allison:

So, as you can see, I've been a busy little bee!

I still have a lot of projects on my "To-Do" list, but I'm making good progress checking things off :)

monday funday (on a friday) :: 4 leaf clover



Hi :)

Since St. Patrick's Day is Monday, I'm sharing a Monday, Funday pattern today so you'll have time to make something so you don't get pinched on Monday for not wearing your green!


(via)

This would be great to add to a headband or glue a pin to the back and you can wear it on your shirt or jacket!

[I couldn't find a knitted version, so I apologize to my knitters out there! If you find one, please share!]

Have a great weekend!
xoxo

Sharing another recipe today... I'm thinking this might just be another series on the blog; not sure what to call it yet though.

How amazing do these little sweet yummy yums sound though?!
