i love alpaca...

alpaca yarn that is. I found it on sale yesterday so I got 4 skeins to make some hats and hand warmers and scarves for our last couple of craft shows. And I lllllllove the way it all feels. However, I was extremely disappointed because one skein didn't even make one complete hat. So, obviously...they were smaller than I thought when I bought them. I'm going to make it work though! We'll get lots of cute things out of all this gorgeous super soft alpaca yarn.

DIY love

You should check out the DIY I posted over on the HL blog. I promised it was coming soon! I'm pretty psyched, now I need to find someone who needs some headphones!

Today was a very good day. I'm definitely going to bed smiling tonight. I hope you are too!

I'm going to do another pair, and I'll take pictures as I go so I can post a tutorial soon. It's so fast and easy, it will make you feel good about yourself and your crafty skills.

Trying New Things.

So, I sat down today, my first day of this week without homework, and I decided to broaden my crochet horizons. :-) I made a headband, which is really easy because you just make a band and then sew the short ends together. BUT I also learned to make...wait for it...a FLOWER :-))) I am so excited about it. The first one I made was kind of huge. So I found a pattern for a smaller one. Then the pattern didn't work for me. Finally, I just made up my own flower pattern and it turned out really cute. Of course, I just used yarn that was available to me so it isn't all that fashionable BUT if I can do it with crazy yarn, then I can do it with any yarn.

The first flower (like I said kind of huge).

My made up flower :-).

Be crafty and broaden your horizons!
