This first bag actually holds cards I used some left over yarn from another project to make it and it was just enough.



The next one is a little purse that I had a pattern for I thought that it turned out cute.



I am thinking that I will drag out my stamps next week. I have missed them. But crochet has been a good thing to keep me busy.

More hats.

Ok here is the other style of hat that I have been making. This first one is a childs size.



And the second is an adult size. This one I actually made for Craig. I really like the colors. I got the pattern for these from my mom who also showed me how to make them and also how to crochet. It has been a great thing to do but I find that I am sticking to the easy stuff so I don't have to think. I know sounds like most things that I do.

Crochet

I have been keeping myself busy reading and crocheting while I have been down recovering. And don't confuse the boredom that I have sometimes incountered for the need to go back to domestic chores. I have loved having none. I had my surgery on the 16th of December and Craig took that day through the end of the year off so that he could play mom. I have gotten so spoiled I don't know how I will go back to housework. He and the boys have kept the house clean dishes washed and laundry done. I have been trying to send sumbliminal messages to convince them that they want to continue this but they all agree they don't enjoy it and while they have a new found feeling for what I do around here every day, it is also apparant that they can't wait for me to take back over. Oh well it was a good run. And I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to them for all they have done and especially to Craig who has done most of it. Thanks guys.



This first picture is a hat that I saw in a book that was made for a doll about the size of a Bratz doll. I thought that it would be cute and wondered why it couldn't be made for a bigger head. So here it is this one fits Jacob although it is a girls hat. But Patrick was happy to model it for me. I made a bigger one for my neice out of a pink and it turned out really cute but I didn't get a pic before I gave it to her.



This hat would fit a smaller child I based it loosely off of the measurements I had for another hat for an infant to toddler sized head. This is a very easy hat to make and I really like the way that the tassles turned out.

For those of you who are already up and stamping this year stamp something for me and I will be rejoining you in a couple of weeks.

Happy New Year!
