Fun Kids Crochet and Laughlin Weekend

Go Check out Rainbow Valley...she has a large assortment of terrific crocheted games!!! I love her puppets and the chess game looks awesome...she also has a bunch of free patterns and these ducks are great for Easter....

This is a wonderful puppet that I found on Learn how to Crochet it is such a cute toy for any child. :) I just love puppets and so I serached and found another cutie....Its a dinosaur... and the pattern can be found on Ravelry  Its adorable don't you agree. :)    

Aren't these puppet cuties fun? There's a pig, cow, and kitty. The pattern is free at Coats & Clark site.

Some Surf-Blogging Photos of Fantastic Crochet .....

 

ok this is just too funny I had to post it. Now it isn't crochet but I thought you would enjoy it. :) This was listed as "firewood" for free on Craig's List... lol....someone cleaned their yard I guess and wanted someone to come haul it away... lol

I was surf-blogging and found this fantastic studio Sarah Applebaum. Isn't she fantastic? This is really way out there love the color choices...yes its yarn...

Visiting over at My Love For You was how I found out about it...

I love this I saw it over at Coco Rose Textiles and she said it comes from this book. I am definitely going to have to get it!!

Ok when I saw this photo over at Crochet Concupscience I was mesmerized by the beauty of the idea. I mean it is a simple idea to web a crochet thread in a corne, but I just never thought it could look so beautiful.

Isn 't it pretty?

These little kitty's are adorable, I love cats they are called Phat Cats and I found these two over at Charlotte's Amigurumi

Well I hope you have enjoyed my little tour of some interesting and talented crocheters and artists... I am off to work on my own "Scrap Afghan"

TTFN,

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Another "You Rock" Blog Feature

          This Week's Feature "You Rock" Blog

I visited a blog called "Simplfy" and she had decided to post about other blogs she enjoyed visiting instead of issuing out Awards...and I thought how great of an idea this was!!! I mean I am always hopping all over to visit blogs and looking for cool new ones [does anyone say "cool" anymore????] and this would be so nice to spread the ones I have found to my followers.
So "off and on" I will be posting a tribute to a blog I find interesting and want to share with all of you:

I figure its about time I "spot light" another blog that I feel deserves recognition for not only wit and humor, but also for inspiration and fun!!!

This week's feature blog I'm going to share with you all is one of my favorite blogs to visit is a blog called "Chatty Crone" this blog has a lot of humor mixed in with quotes, sayings, funny and inspirational stories and some of her family life too. I enjoy visitng Sandie daily to get my humor dose and also my brain working with her little quizes and brain teazers. Every post is packed full of reading fun and info and inspirational lifts. Be sure to stop by her blog and tell her Crochetoholic sent you. It may not be Crochet but it will sure put a smile on your face.  Hop over there right now because Chatty Crone ROCKS!!

You could be next on my list to be a blog feature on "You Rock" Blog ....be sure to link back to me when sharing about "You Rock" or posting your own "You Rock" on your blog!!!



 

 

 



Got Stress???

One of my online friends had this on her blog and I couldn't resist...

Parties and Yarn and Fun

We had a Rainbow Skein party and a Spring Fling T-shirt Deco Party with my stitching group. What fun...we all got together and wrapped yarn all different colors, each member brought 2 or more skeins we put them in the middle of the table and then wrapped whatever colors we wanted to whatever size of skein. Then we will make a project and bring it backed for a contest at our Halloween party this year...

The T-shirt deco party we got t-shirts for all and then I made up our Stich n' Chick logo iron-ons and everyone brought some "bling" and we all decorated our shirts...they came out so great!!!!

Our next get together we are having a Wine and Cheese and Chocolate Fondue party...yummmy!!! We have so much fun while we stitch away our projects... :)

some of the yarn left over from our Rainbow Skein party

Nothing Can Be Greener than Crochet in March!!!

I love Irish Crochet and this FREE pattern is a perfect, easy one to try... Look at how pretty the colors are and what a super gift this would make for any age mom, g-ma, or even gal with her own place....Now if I changed the colors to red and purple my Red Hat gals would love these too...or leave it pink and green and make some for family and friends. :)

Heres another FREE pattern for an Irish Hnakerchief Bag...look at how delicate this one is...what a beauty..

And what could be Greener than a Green Grass Rug!!! :) FREE pattern......
