Almost May

Here's a look at what I've been up to this month and a sneak peak at your free pattern coming soon


I found these great swatches (looks like they used to be in a book) at the local Salvation Army around the same time I saw the square-a-day samplers floating about in cyber space. So I decided to combine the two minus the one square per day rule, mostly because I'm a bit compulsive at times :) 
I'm going to make a stitched 'book' of 4x4 square samplers inspired by days that make me happy. I've got four planned out and a few more in rough sketches. 


Take a look...

Also I finished a few commissions this month (made harder by the odd tingling in my pinky, any ideas?)

And I managed to whip up this Crochet hook holder which will be this month's free crochet pattern. (look for it around Tuesday-Wednesday)

And some of the goodies from our one and only thrift shop outing this month. {saving money can really be the pits sometimes}

This is the tiniest crochet hook I have ever seen, smaller than the one I tried to make myself using a broken needle. I can't make wait to make something ridiculously tiny with it

This is a combo latch hook/needle punch, which was an awesome find because I've been wanting to try needle punching but wasn't really interested in spending 20 bucks on a tool that may get used a handful of times.

The creepy doll is for my sister, cause she likes that sort of thing. The other two you will {most likely} see in future posts.




Till next week

Thrift Store Finds

Some of my goodies from our thrift store outing this presidents day

I'm not sure why the crochet hooks have the curves but I had to get them anyway :)

Okay I know the plants aren't from any thrift store but we had to go to the co-op and I couldn't resist the bunny tails :) 

and lastly, here are some of the gifts my fiancee and I exchanged for V-day

The fiddlers were from him, the smart ass embroidery was from me :) {pattern available soon}

Tertius on the left and Primus on the right {in case you haven't just recently watched the movie or read the book Stardust, that's where I got the names for all of my Crabs [the other's are Ditchwater, Thorne, and Septimus]}
