Hats and other things

Since my last post, my darling granddaughter has been born. She was a whopping 10 lb. baby!!! This is a good thing as I never could get my crocheted baby hats to be small enough for a newborn.

So after I got done making hats and booties, I moved onto more challenging items. Toys!!!!
I fell in love with Amigurumi patterns. The only problem I have been having is that although the patterns are free, I cannot sell any toys that I make from the patterns. So, I have been attempting to design my own and are currently working on that. Here are some pics for the toys I have made and of course, given away.

I'm beginning to think that everyone that comes into our house needs to take a toy home with them, lol. The main point of all of this is that I am really enjoying the crocheting. Between this at night and the garden during the day, there is absolutely no time to get an outside job!!!!!

Grandbabies

I wonder sometimes if I could be more excited than my Darling-Daughter-In-Law about this up-coming child, and then I talk to her and I know that I don't even come close.

I have been making burp clothes. What a wild concept this is! I used to just throw a diaper over my shoulder and call it good. These burp clothes are wonderful.

I got hooked into Pinterest, by my bestie friend Starla, and I have found so many wonderful patterns to try out for my grandbaby, that is due in March. I have been working on a taggie quilt today. I had to rip it out 3 times!!!! grrrr. I am a beginner seamstress so without instructions, I'm pretty lost. It is turning out pretty cute, after I figured it out, lol. You know this girl thing is pretty new to me, as I had 4 boys. I think I can get excited, like I need a reason?
