Picture Problems :(

So last night I decided to upload pictures, the problem was that whenever I tried to upload pictures it would give me some sort of error. I realized later that it was because my iPhoto library was very full. I realized that there was a trash in my iPhoto library that wasn't cleared and was holding almost 700 pictures! Deleted some pictures and now I have pictures uploaded. Then it took a long time to upload the pictures to flickr and by the time I did all of this is was about 12:30 am. So I decided to go to bed without an update. So, I'm updating today.

First I added a picture of Mr. Whiskers (the cat I made for a friend for Christmas):


Then I have pictures of the baby bibs for Taylor Ann:



Finally I have pictures of the "fancy" scarf:

Loops and Links Knitting/Crochet Circle

Haven't updated for a while. Still need to get my butt into gear and upload some pictures :P... A couple of days ago I worked on several new pot holders. My mom wanted to get rid of some of her old ones because they were getting really ratty and gross. So I made about four new pot holders. All of them are just made in some really random colors I chose. Mostly colors I don't use that much, which was nice because really I need to use some of my old yarn. I just keep accumulating it :P My mom is probably annoyed with all the stacks of yarn I have everywhere. She can't wait for me to go back to school and have all this yarn out of the house.

Other than the pot holders, I started a scarf for a friend. I started that at the Knitting/Crochet Circle at Loops and Links tonight. It was the first time I went and I really enjoyed myself. Em helped me check out once I picked out the two colors I wanted to use for the scarf. I picked a purple and then a variegated yarn that is kind of blue and purple and magenta. I'm making a really pretty wave scarf that can be found here. I'm not exactly sure if she will like it... I know she said any colors and any design... I'm just hoping it isn't too girly. The worst that can happen though is she doesn't like it and then I told her if she doesn't like it I'll just take it and make her something else... I mean I l LOVE the colors... and I think they would go well with her lime green jacket. We'll see... Benjamin thinks it is very fancy looking :P

Well pictures soon... Hopefully Taylor Ann (my new niece) loves the baby bibs I made her... which I'm sure she will since she is only hours old and doesn't know the difference ;) *heart*heart*heart* I love babies... and I love my new niece even though I haven't seen her *heart*heart*heart*

Baby Bib Update

It is about 2:30 pm here and I finished the four baby bibs I was making. That means today I'm either going to finish the black cat I'm making for a friend. Or I will work on making some cute roly-poly animals. I'll edit this post later in the day to upload some pictures for you to see...

Monster Munchy Bibs

So as I said, I have been working on the baby bibs. I was supposed to go to Madison today, but we cancelled because it was way too icy. Instead I sat at home. My goal is to finish the four bibs and the little toys before we go down to Illinois. Unfortunately, that could be as early as this weekend. So we will see what happens. So far I have 2 bibs finished other than the little detailing. My plan is to have a third one finished before I go to bed. Which shouldn't be too hard seeing as how I normally don't get to bed til 2 in the morning :P

Baby Bibs

I currently have been working on some more baby bibs for my new niece or nephew. The pattern is from NeedleNoodles's Etsy shop and they are these really cute Monster bibs. I decided on the monster bibs because if you see them, they are super cute and definitely would work for a boy or a girl. I am not fully finished with the first of four bibs. I'll upload pictures of my process as I go.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! I don't know about all of you, but I had a fun time kicking of 2009. I also realized that last year I posted 23 times... this just happens to be my favorite number so it must be good luck right ;)... Well I finished with my Christmas Crafts Picture Posting series. However, I do have more pictures to show you!!! Yesterday I finished a flowered scarf. The pattern for the scarf can be found in the book The Happy Hooker: Stitch 'n Bitch Crochet. I had made a scarf like this before for my sister-in-law but I decided to create a new one, just for fun. I also started on making some baby bibs because I have been really really bored just sitting at home :P

Without further ague, I present the flowered scarf (the model is myself :P):




Enjoy the pictures!

New Years Eve = Last Picture Post... Or is it?

So today is New Years Eve. I actually have plans to go down to Appleton, WI (20 minute drive) to hand with some college friends. I'm looking forward to this and I'm also looking forward to showing you the other three projects I made for my cousins :)

First baby elephant head for Jena (Pattern can be found here:



Baby duck head for Tara (Pattern can be found here):


Head of the Yeti for Brad (Pattern by Roxycraft):


The Yeti didn't turn out exactly the way I pictured it to. I'm probably going to do this character again, but I'll try to alter the pattern a bit to make it look more the way I would like it to. I'm also thinking of creating a cow for my sister... we'll see what happens.

Also as you may have noticed if you follow me on twitter I have finished crocheting a garden scarf. I also have started making a bib. Hence, there will be more pictures on their way... Maybe even tomorrow!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Here is the Third Picture Post

Today I will probably finish that flower scarf so I came up with some stuff to keep me busy while I'm stuck in the house... You see I would work on amigurumis but I'm out of stuffing and I cannot get any when I'm stuck in the house... Hence here is a list of to do's:
Edited: 17 January 2009
Finish flower scarf
create pieces to chihuahua amigurumi (the parts I can do without stuffing)
Create a scarf for Katie... not sure where to start on this
Create parts of the wobbles I'm making for my new niece/nephew Taylor
Make the bibs, I just got a pattern for!
Added 17 January 2009:
Pandas for Katie's Cousins
Create Felted Purse for myself
Baby Blanket for Taylor

That should keep me busy for a while... Hopefully for the rest of break... because I have been really really bored :(

Well enough chatter, you really came here to see the pictures... Today I'm sharing three more of my creations. These three creations are just heads... Yes they are finished, but they are only heads. This is because I wanted to create a little something for all of my cousins. I have six of them and I didn't get to making their little critters until the day before I was going to see them. Hence, I made six projects in a night! Ridiculous... but fun! Hence, all of them just got heads of creatures, which they were happy with.

First project is a stingray, pattern from These Loving Hands, as a request for my cousin Jordan:


Then I made a tiger, pattern from Ana Paula Rimoli's Etsy Shop, as a request for my cousin Noah:


Finally an elf, pattern from Roxycraft, for my cousin Adam (Kinda like Dobby):


If you noticed the eyes on the tiger and the elf... Check out Enami Eyes!

The final picture post will be tomorrow... however, I may then have some more projects to share, so again stay tuned ;)

The Start to the Pictures

I have been a busy busy bee this last week. As you may have seen, at the bottom of the monkey pictures post I added a list of projects I needed to get done. I successfully completed all of them and am happy with most of them. I had time to finally upload all of the pictures up to my computer and onto flickr last night. There are a LOT of pictures! Because of this I decided I would make a series of picture posts this week. This is partly to add to the suspense. I'm starting with three of my projects. These three projects were made for my brother, sister-in-law, and their new baby (who isn't born yet but should be any day now)... Enjoy the pictures and please leave comments on the pictures or on this post of what you think :)

First my brother's Christmas gift was a picture frame that I painted. The family, duck, and fish were pre-made. The family was painted by me but was pre-cut, while the fish and duck were pre-cut and pre-painted.

The picture is kind of dark... but you can see what I sort of did. A sunset and water :)

My brother and his picture frame :)

Next is my sister-in-law's new purse. I crocheted this purse using a pattern from the book The Happy Hooker:


Christa is admiring the fine craftsmanship (she had bought my sister and I purses for Christmas... Great minds think a like ;)

Finally a bib I cross-stitched for my new niece or nephew. I created this bib from a kit you can buy at Hobby Lobby or Joanne's along with most other craft stores:


So that is picture post number 1, stick around for the rest of the week to see more picture posts!

A Few Pictures

I have a few pictures uploaded to my computer of some of my recent creations. However, there are still some projects I took pictures of, but have not uploaded onto my computer.

The first pictures I have are of a monkey I made for a friend. This monkey has a little Packer Jersey on and the number twelve for Aaron Rodgers. This was created by changing a few things on an Ana Paula Rimoli pattern. This monkey pattern can be found in her publication: Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet:



The other picture below, is a picture of a pig I made for my Suitemate. The little pig pattern is also by Ana Paula Rimoli and can be purchased at http://anapaulaoli.etsy.com:


When I finally upload my pictures from my camera, you will be able to see completed pictures of the Polar Bears... along with the picture frame, cross-stitched bib, and purse. I cannot wait for you all to see them.

Here is my to do list by the end of the week (Hopefully you will all see pictures of these creations too):
Christmas Table Topper - Mother
CD of me Singing - Father
Tiger that looks like Tigger - Sister
Stingray - Cousin Jordan
Tiger head - Cousin Noah
Elf Head- Cousin Adam
The Yeti Head- Cousin Brad
Duck Head - Cousin Jena
Elephant Head - Cousin Tara

We'll see what I get done ;)

EDIT: You will see that I finished my list, just in time too!

Don't Have Pictures Yet...

I don't have pictures for you yet, however, I do have some more finished gifts. Soon I will have a picture frame, purse, and I'll also have a cross-stitch bib to show all of you too :). Hopefully I can post those pictures this coming week. Hope you are all excited! :D
