Tried to Look Pretty Potholder #2

I just had to make another, love these colores too. In the colors of Westport (varigated) and Cornflower Blue (One of my all time fav colors). I have been on vacation this week...can you tell? I love making potholders, they are my go to project when I get bored or frustrated with someting else I am making. Quick, easy, and most if not all can be made in a day.

Pattern can be found here.

My New Pretty Potholder

I have put my Crochet Sock Monkey on hold. I have been having trouble with his little face, and in order to preserve my work (this means not throwing him in the trash) and to save my sanity I have set him aside for the time being. I will finish him, I will finish him, I will finish him. Okay, I feel better.

So I have taken a potholder break. I discovered a new color palette from Lily Sugar N Cream called Country Colores. They are just beautiful! The pattern is called "Tried to Look Pretty Potholder" I found it on the internet. This potholder is made in Country Yellow, Country Red and Barnboard Twists. I just love 100% worsted cotton yarns!! So soft and yummy!! I hope you like it!!! Click on the highlighted link above to take you to the pattern source.

Sock Monkey Progress

Well I am finished with his body, I now just have to make the arms and his tail, and sew his muzzle on. I would post a picture, but he looks a little crude just yet. LOL.....stay tuned!!! It is cold here today, so I should be able to get alot done between laundry and Super Bowl preperations!!!!

Crochet Sock Monkey in progress.......

I don't know why, but I had this strange yearning to make a Sock Monkey. I guess I just really liked how the Patons wool yarn felt so soft at my LYS! Buy the Yarn, a pattern will come!! LOL So, this is my first "Leg" of the pattern, coming along quite nicely....if I may say so myself. So here it is so far..........................

Baby Brianna and her Blankie!

As promised, here is the finished doll and her blankie. I really enjoyed making this, it was very easy and worked up quickly!! I will give it to my friend tomorrow, I sure hope she likes it! I will let you know!

Baby Brianna Christmas Dress

Pattern by Maggies Crochet. I have been working on this for a friend of mine, she was one of 8 children and I recently found out she never had a doll growing up. So I will be giving this to her on Monday. I just have to finish the roses and attach them to the blankie and the dress and hat. The blankie is complete as well as the hat. I will share the entire outfit on the doll hopefully tomorrow.

This is how I spent my New Years Day. It was really rainy, windy and COLD here today. I am not sure the temp even got to 55 degrees today. I know, I know some of you gals are dealing with the snow and ice, but this Florida Gal needs a blankie when the temp goes below 70!!!
