Lots of Crocheting

Hello!

I can't believe it has already been nearly a month since my last post, October flew by! I've crocheted many things since last time I posted, my sisters and I have been working hard to get our Etsy shop filled up, and by doing so, we had two sales in the month of October, Praise the Lord! We're really praying that as Christmas approaches, the Lord will bless us with some more orders.  From now until Christmas I don't think I'll be blogging often, due to the fact that most of the things I'm making right now are Christmas gifts! =) I can post the non-gifts though....

 

 

Several months ago a friend of mine made a couple of the most ADORABLE tape measure covers for her retractable tape measures, and I finally decided I'd make few as well....I think they are some of the cutest little things ever! =)

 

Here's a little cake, it looks scrumptious doesn't it? By pushing on the cherry on top of the cake, the tape measure slips back in....I love playing with it, it's fun!

 

This is a chocolate chip cookie, these covers are so much fun to make and they go super quick!

 

 

You can do so many different variations, this is a cinnamon roll....you obviously don't have to do a food, but I really like the idea of my tape measure looking like food...specifically dessert! =)

 

 

I also made a couple of scissor fobs using size 10 crochet thread and seed beads, they went quick as well and I really love the looks of them!

 

This first one I made is my personal favorite, I love the color!

 

 

 I love this color thread combined with the red colored beads, it looks old! =)

 

 

 

 The aqua colored one is much brighter than the colors I generally use, so it was a nice change of pace! I really enjoyed making them!

I think my least favorite part of making these was putting the beads on them, although it adds so much to it...I used clear beads for this one, it adds a little sparkle to it.

Lastly, I crocheted a teddy bear....he's so cute, I love his little bow tie. At first when I started working on him I didn't think I was going to enjoy it...but after a couple of hours I had fun with him! His face is so sweet... it was my moms idea to give him some eyebrows....I'm so glad I did because it added a lot to his face!

 

I found this pattern in a book I have called "Cute and Easy Crochet" by Nicki Trench... This book has so many WONDERFUL ideas...I'll be making many more things that are in this book! 

So this is SOME of what I did in October, not all of what I did, but, like I said, I've been working on Christmas stuff and upcoming birthday things.  I am doing a swap on Ravelry and also did some spinning on my drop spindle that I'd like to post about! Speaking of my drop spindle... I almost forgot to tell you....we recently were blessed with a spinning wheel...it needs some parts, but we'll them hopefully soon! =) Our pastor picked it up for us at a yard sale and I think paid about $9, which is CRAZY cheap! Praise God! We're all super excited and can't wait to get it up and running! =D Anyway... I hope to post again soon!

Have a wonderful day!
