Crafting updates

     I did finally sew in the ends of my motif from 
 Muskaan's DAL.

In my crocheting I have added a few more scarves 
and some enhancements.
First is the (very large) cinnamon roll scarf(it 

is sitting on a dinner plate for size).
Again, these scarf patterns are from The Crochet 
Collector(on Etsy, and facebook). 

 This next is the Dr. Pepper scarf with my slight alteration.

I couldn't find anyone with a Cricut machine to make the 
logo, so I made a charm clip they can use(2 gifts in 1).

And, I had a request for a Coca Cola scarf so I 
just used red yarn and made a charm clip for it.

Next, I made a Bucket bag for a friend. 
Pattern from Oh Me Oh My Crochet( on 
Etsy and facebook). 

Then, I made me some ear warmers(I call them 
head wraps).
Both patterns from Jessica Lee's Cozy Stitches 
(Etsy and facebook). 
This one is her New Hampshire Ear Warmer.

And this one is her Lincoln Ear Warmer.
She has beanies of both these designs too, and 
a secondary design of this ear warmer.

And, I love the colors of the Lincoln Ear Warmer 
so much that I decided I need a scarf too, so I used 
the pattern and made me a scarf.  I am happy with it!!

I also learned to crochet a granny square rectangle 
and made a couple of car seat covers.  These leather 
seats get too cold in the winter and hot in the summer, 
so I decided to fix that.
When I bought seat covers before it cost $50 for 2(full) 
seat covers, so I decided to make my own(at $5 a skein) 
for each(half cover).

During Tollway Tatters I worked on some earrings 
with a one pass Ice Drop design.  I only got about 
halfway around 1 earring so far. 

So, just a few updates as to what I have been crafting! 
Happy Tatting everyone!!  Have a wonderful week!! :)

Muskaan's DAL continued

 I made a little more progress and I really like how it 
looks right now.  Have another row in mind, but not 
sure if I want to add more since I really like this look!! 
**minus all the ends!!!**

 

So here it is from beginning till now:

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and get some tatting in!!! :)

Muskaan's DAL(Design ALong)

So, I have gotten to work on the DAL. 
I had Round 3 done(simple except for the very 
last ring....of course).
And today I got to work on Round 4.  I started 
yesterday with a different idea, but it didn't work 
and I cut it off and waited until today.
Lately I have been dealing with a good lack of 
sleep so that has hindered my brain from working, 
but I am pleased with this!!
I wanted to keep the design of the original motif 
continuing and the open spaces.
I will have to post the directions later.

Sorry the picture isn't great, it's 11pm.
One thing is a problem....ALL those ends to weave in!! 
Not sure yet if I am going to add another Round, but...
I just might. ;)
Happy Tatting and I hope to see all your DALs.  :)
 

Tatting!!!

Muskaan has a Design Along Challenge up and the 

start inspired me to join. 

Here is my start:

I used Lizbeth size 40 Golden Honey, and 

Mocha Brown Med. for the 2nd round. Not 

my normal colors, but the Golden Honey was 

already on a shuttle and I picked colors to go 

with it and hoping for an autumn color scheme.

 

 

Here is the link to the DAL:

Can't wait to see all the designs!!  Happy Tatting today! :)  

 

Well, no tatting again.

My niece asked if I would make her a bell sleeved cardigan. 

As a beginning crocheter I was quite nervous, but honored. 

Well, I got it completed.  It took almost 7 skeins of I love the Yarn,

and just under a month(started June 29th and finished July 14th). 
There were some challenges, but I worked my way through them 

and pulled out several sections multiple times and corrected them. 

 I was frustrated with the light colored section and even 

brought the cardigan to Hobby Lobby and showed them 

and let them take pictures to report it, but my niece said 

she was ok with it.  We live about an hour and a half to 

2 hours from each other and so I couldn't try it on her or 

know if it fit till she came yesterday to pick it up and try 

it and she LOVES it.  She said it was perfect!!
I am so happy!!! :)
She also loves the Dr. Pepper scarf and has asked me to 

make her one, and is planning to have me make her 

another sweater at some point.
It's great to have someone enjoy your work!!
I have also been working on a Christmas present in 

crochet which is almost done.

I have several projects "for me" in line already.
I also have 2 tatting projects(one which needs a lot of 

beads-from the new book I got)  in line too.
Lots going on!!!
Hope you are all having a great summer and getting some 

tatting in!! :) 

No tatting to show

I have been so "enticed" by these scarf creations!!!

I have just completed my sixth scarf.

I need to catch you up and will show all 6 in the 

order that I have crocheted them.

Cocoa mug.

Bible(need Holy Bible for front).

Popcorn bucket.

Can of Dr. Pepper(need Logo).

Mc Donald's french fries.

Cocoa mug with mini marshmallows.

For those who are interested, the designer is 

The Crochet Collector on Etsy and Facebook.
As a beginner in crochet, I feel like I have done 

pretty good on these.

 

I will continue making more, but, my niece(adult) 

has asked me to make her a cardigan with "bell" sleeves. 

I found several pattern tutorials on Youtube and she 

chose the one she likes.
I was watching it the other day trying to get an idea 

of what I would be doing to make it, and noticed that 

she apparently edited it and then made some kind of 

correction, but the part where the shoulders start has 

been cut out and I might have trouble there.  Oh well, 
I am going to do my best.  ;)
 

I hope you have a great day, and that I will see 

several of you for Tollway Tatters on Saturday!!! :) 

 

Name tag ready for delivery

 I have added a pin to the name tag to wear.

 

Blogger is getting more and more challenging. 
I am still having trouble commenting, except on 
Jane Eborall's blog. ;)
If I use Google Chrome browser it won't let me 
add pictures now. So I am using Firefox browser.

 

As for other crafting, I made a Go Blue sign in 
plastic canvas for a guy who asked me to
(I think it's for football-I am NOT into sports!!!).

 

And for crochet, I made another scarf(working on 
enhancing with words). It's a Bible(can be a book 
of any kind you like).
Pattern by The Crochet Collector on Etsy.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Happy tatting and crafting everyone!! :)
Can't wait!! Tomorrow is Tollway Tatters again!! :)
