Completed projects!

Hi all! I thought I'd take a few spare moments that I have at the end of the day and post 2 projects I completed over the weekend. The first Tah-Dah is the baby blanket I was working on. I love the colors and I think its going to be just perfect for the little boy its meant for.

The second project I stumbled across while I was "Pinteresting" early Sunday morning.

You can find her blog and the tutorial here. Mine is not near as cute as hers, I'm hoping mine will improve when I try again. Wish me luck!

Inspiration

Have you ever tried  a new stitch and it quickly becomes your new stitch of choice? Years ago, when I first started crocheting, I felt that way about the half-double crochet. I not only loved the texture, but I loved the swoopy-feeling that you get when your hook slides through all of the loops. Well, that's how I feel about the bobble stitch, that I discovered when making this purse. So now I want to use it all the time. I've not only started a larger Raspberry bag(this time in chartreuse! So I'll have to call it the Key Lime Bag...LOL) but I designed this little owl. I think the bobble gives him just the right look of feathers.
