More hats!

It's been a chilly week, what better way to spend a cold afternoon then whipping up a hat or two. Here are the latest in the collection. And then all I've done in the last couple of weeks.

Spring in February

Went out today and bought a few plants I needed to replace some not so great looking ones in the house. I will not show you the condition of the one's that I replaced. But here are the new plants I bought. And it has been years since I've had an African Violet, so I got one of those too. It feels a little like Spring today!.

Lazy days and Sunday's

We had to stay close to home today, expecting a delivery. You know they call and give you a 4 hour window and it was between 2pm - 6pm. So I got out some of my yarn stash and whipped up a couple of hats. I found both the patterns on Ravelry.com. I frequent that site a lot and find some great patterns. What do ya think?

This pattern is from http://simplebeans.blogspot.com/2009/01/durango-robins-egg-my-new-hat.html

And this from http://throughtheloops.typepad.com/through_the_loops/2007/11/offered-with-a.html

Potholders

And...I made potholders too. I love these, the color combinations are endless!

Winter crochet projects

I did some pretty scarves this winter that I sent to my family in Iowa and Germany. They will get much more use out of them with their freezing temps then I will here in California. We had a beautiful day with temps in the high 70's. Take a peek.

Twirl skirt

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything. Guess I didn't have much to say. So I 've been shopping for fabric this week. The Joann's near my work is closing and I've scored, paying 75% off for lots of cute stuff. Today I made this adorable skirt for my granddaughter from a tutorial I got from http://www.crapivemade.com/
