As I posted a few weeks ago, click here to see more, I have been working on Hunter Orange sweaters for my boys to wear when we go to the cabin during hunting season. They love to run and play and I want to be sure they are well seen.
Here they are modeling their new looks.
And here they are arguing over who wears it the best!
And Lincoln with an expression on his face like “Why me?”

I love to crochet, especially in the fall and winter when the weather turns cool. It always reminds me of my grandmothers (Granny and Big Mama) who both crocheted and who taught me how.
I have been working on a line of toys for the shop and they are turning out so cute.
A puppy, a monkey, and a kitty…
A bunny, a bear, a dinosaur….
A better view of the dinosaur and a giraffe.
Several sold at the festival on Saturday but they are so much fun to make I’ll get busy and see what else I can come up with soon. 🙂

I have been working on sweaters for the boys to wear out at the cabin during hunting season. I worry about them running loose there with all the hunters around. Last year I put an orange t-shirt on Jed thinking that would work and he came back about 30 minutes later without it. I never did find that shirt.
So this year I am making crocheted sweaters that fit tight enough that they can’t pull them off. Here is Lincoln modeling his Hunter Orange sweater.
And here is Jed in a teal one that I made first as a prototype. I had to play with the pattern to make it fit my long and low dogs. Now on to make an orange one for Jedder Bean! (Although he looks so handsome in Teal!)

I recently received a Kindle as a gift. And I LOVE it! I really didn’t think I would as I do love books and the feel of one in my hand, but the Kindle is fabulous. I started looking for a cover to make it easy to stick in my purse and protect the screen but they were outrageously expensive so I decided to crochet one.
This one is made of felting yarn so it is felted and a little thicker than just regular yarn.
And it is just perfect for what I 
needed.
The problem with me crocheting is that it’s hard to put down once I start, so as you can see I made several Kindle sleeves. If you have a Kindle and need a sleeve, get in touch. 🙂

Yes, I’m still crocheting. I know it stopped snowing but I can’t stop crocheting. It’s like an obsession. I don’t know what to do about it. But I’m having fun so I guess I shouldn’t stop yet.
Here is a bucket hat in blue….
And a Floppy Hat in Grey and a 
great travel hat in light brown.
And I had an order for a Mother and Daughter Hat that I made in this beautiful rose color. Now they have been shipped off to the east coast.
And then I got carried away with slippers again…
These are Virginia Tech colors. I plan to send a pair to our granddaughter at Tech.
Now I’m working on University of Virgina colors.
There are also these beautiful variegated girly color slippers that I had to make. I just love this yarn. It works up so pretty.
And then there are the coffee cup sleeves because you never know when that coffee or tea will be too hot and you can whip this right out of your purse and save the day! Ha!
So as you can see the obsession continues…..

I’m still crocheting like crazy and loving it. I just made these two cute little cocoon sets for newborns. They are available for purchase at Delilah’s for by contacting me.
I love the pea green one with the little stem hat. I wish I knew someone with a little baby that I could use as a model. Truman refused. 🙂

Today is the last day for the crazy crochet week….something a little different for this blog.
Today I am posting photos of slippers that I made the last couple of days. The snow is giving me plenty of time to watch tv and crochet.
I love these slippers. I made two different patterns and am trying a third. The internet makes it so easy to find great patterns. That is really different from when I first learned to crochet and you had to buy a book with loads of patterns in it just to get the one you wanted.
I hope you have enjoyed the week of crochet. Next week it’s back to art!

Have I mentioned how much fun I am having crocheting. I made these two little baby hats with ears. I think they are funny and I don’t know what I am going to do with them. But they are cute, aren’t they?
I also made some hats for big people. I love these two hats with brims. They are really cute on and so comfortable. And I love how they are so easy to bend and roll. They would be great for traveling. The light colored one SOLD! Not to worry though, I’ve already made another one. 🙂
I know I will make more of these because I love how they look and they are fun to make. One day when I comb my hair and have on make-up, I’ll take a photo with one of these on so that you can see how they look. But with this weather, I haven’t had make-up on in days. 😉
