My new skirt was chosen to be included in an etsy treasury for green and brown. It’s interesting how they all go so well together.

Treasury

Recently, I drove up to Cleveland with my boyfriend’s parents in order to see Alan graduate. It was an exciting event, but a harrowing drive. I crocheted myself out on the way up and gave myself a headache…but, I finally finished the toddler skirt and made a pair of booties for the etsy shop. YAY

While up North we also visited his sister’s ranch in Butler, Pennsylvania. It was a beautiful change from the paved highway and rest stops we saw on the drive up.

Now we’re back and trying to ease ourselves back into daily life. Myself working and crocheting….Al, trying to find a job in this crazy economy.

Anyways…

I’m on a roll now that my classes are finished for the semester. Now I can devote myself to my crafts….

Stay tuned

Beginning of the ruffles, and a new color! yay

Sorry for such a delay in posting my newest projects. I’ve been working on a couple of spring items in my etsy shop.

I’ve been trying to finish up the toddler skirt I have been working in, but it involves 8 inches of straight sc so it took me what seems like forever to actually get to the interesting portion. Then, just as I was getting to the ruffle I ran out of green yarn, with only just a couple more rows of that color to go. >.<

After putting it down for a day, I almost gave in to going to the store for more (although I’d have to pay in change) when I discovered a mysterious bag of yarn which held small balls of several of my colors….including my green yarn needed for the skirt!!!!

I did a little dance and celebrated with a cup o’ tea ^^

A perfect end to a perfect day….now to finish it up. Look fir it in my shop very soon.

Pictured is the beginning of the skirt, and then the beginning of the ruffles. I used dk sport acrylic yarn. I’m currently using a pattern from ravelry, but you know how that goes…I may need to make some adjustments. So far so good though. The finished product will be lime green and brown with a ruffled bottom and tie at the top.

Man, someone should invent a cat face repellent….it’d be awesome, and greatly appreciated.

Even has the audacity to YAWN in my face.
