I havent been too busy crocheting lately. I took a little vow that I Was going to finish my UFOs before I started something new. That pretty much means weaving in ends. So, my hook has been busy tucking in my loose ends. Ill have to update my side bar tally later with all of the things I have since accomplished, but I need to go through them all first. I put eyes on my little munchkin mans that I have done. And Im starting a little granny square block and white blanket. (4 inch squares... 3 rows, Starting with White) I have pictures of some things and will get them up later!

EDIT: I just realized that I hadnt updated in a while and I did not get those pictures up of the things I donated... I will put them below this post :)

And I also relaized I hadnt updated since my kiddo was in the hospital.... He had to undergo 5 surgeries (they did them all together) in his little stay, but he came through it all very well. He came home on the 12th a brand new man. Unfortunately, he ended up right back in the hospital on the 22nd for an emergency shunt revision as his had malfunctioned. He did really well with that and came home the next day. He is doing great now!

Alas.. Here are those pictures. The gown was not finished in this picture, but was finished before I donated it. I added some sleeves.





EDIT AGAIN:

Here are some pics..

This is going to be a blanket


This is too


And these are my little men

The kiddo is still in the hospital.. Ive not gotten much of anything done. I have gathered a few things that I am going to donate to the NICU.. It is just hats. I think 6 of them. I am still working on the other gown and will donate it when I am finished. I only have to add the sleeves, but it seems I am slow in getting around to it.

I made my kiddo another little scarf. It looks adorable on him. Right now it is on his stuffed elephant at the hospital. I got some pics of him in it, Ill upload them later.. Maybe in a few days. Just whenever I have time!

I just wanted to say that I joined a 25 Things for Charity Blog. The plan is to crochet or donate 25 things to Charity over a 12 month period. I will be starting to donate mine in January, but will hopefully have more done by then.

And I am going to be in a Bridal Fair.. I want to make garters. If anybody has any patterns send `em my way!

I have been sloooow here lately. I will admit that :) My son is in the hospital right now. He had went for a check up and did not weigh enough to please them so he ended up in the hospital. If you want to know more about what he has been going through, his link to his website is on the right or you can click here. * I have not had a lot of time to get things done unless I am at the hospital all day by myself without my other kiddo... When he is there I have to chase him down... When I am at home Im always so tired and rushing to do other things.. But Ive managed to get a few rows of things done. I donated a gown to the NICU. They were thrilled. Im working on another one. And Ive done a few scarves. Im entering a Bridal Fair in January.. Might not do the winter one I had planned. I have to get supplies for the Bridal one. Im really excited. Im going to make garters.. Maybe more but Im not sure. Ive got to get busy tho!

(* Im working on updating his site after I update my blog, so if you read this before then and his website is not updated.. Sorry, but check back!)

This is totally not crochet related.. but I just wanted to share some pictures of my kiddos... The littest one is Alo who will be 6 months in like 3 days and the other is Kaia who is 15 months. The pictures are clickable. I have no idea why the last one of Alo is so big ... Oh well!

Woohoo! Im so excited! I have pictures of my skirt... They are not the best pictures and my shirt does not match.... But they are pictures!!! You cant tell how it looks at all from the pics, so I might try and get some better pics later, but my battery on my cam was dying so I had to shoot them fast, plus I had little grubby hands hitting the tripod.. actually clanging on it with one of my Boyes hooks.... Silly boy. Anyway, here they are.. Enjoy!

Oh! The yarn is Lion Brand Homespun.. Edwardian. And the pictures are clickable for a bigger view.....

I cant wait to actually wear it!

I just wanted to updated... I havent done anything new that I know of, unless I did not mention that I finished my skirt. With the leftovers I made my son a scarf, but it is probably going to go to my sisters son instead, as mine will not wear it and there is no point in me keeping it if he wont. I havent gotten much of anything done. I did one square for a lady that is doing a comfortghan and thats about it ;) Im mainly weaving ends in. I have a TON of ends to weave in.. Anybody want to take over some? lol Ill get to crocheting some and update better later ;)

Ive still been a busy little bee. Ive finally finished that skirt for me that Ive been talking about forever! I used Lion Brand Homespun Edwardian for it. It turned out awesome. Im going to trim it in some Fun fur. I just need to get it. With the leftover yarn I made my little kiddo a scarf. He had fun playing with it, then tossed it on the floor just like everything else.

Ive finished a few more scarves, and did one for a Christmas present. Ive got more that need to be finished, and some that need to be started.

Ive got the eldest childs sweater almost done. The whole body for it is done, but I still need to do the sleeves. I ran out of yarn before I could get it done. So as soon as I get more Ill finish it.

I have a few more of those little munchkins done. I still need to put the eyes on them. I tried with super glue, but it just doesnt stick to yarn too well :) My little monster already ripped the eyes off of one. So Im going to borrow my mothers glue-gun and stick them on that way.

Everytime I check my mail I get so excited! Ive been receiving squares for a comfortghan for my Aunt. Her house burned down not too long ago and I requested some squares, and some lovely people have sent some lovely squares. I love opening the mail and finding the new ones. They are all so pretty! I cant wait to receive them all and finish the ghan and present it to her. Im really hoping it will make her day!

Ill have to take some pictures of all of the items and get them up!
