I Had To Do It

Its mine. I can't wait until its in my hot little hands. I am so tired of having everything I need for a knitting project except the right size needles. I have spent so much money on needles and I still never have the right size for that next project. Hopefully this little beauty of a system will solve that problem for good! Merry Christmas to me...again.

Been Doin' a Little Crafting...

Just haven't blogged about it.

I attended a gorgeous baby shower for an old friend of mine a little over a week ago. It was above Cartier on Michigan Avenue and, my goodness, was it lovely. There is a Women's Club there...who knew...only the elite Chicago society folk, I guess. Anyway, I was honored to attend and I had a ball making the gift. Can you believe I didn't take any pictures of the toile burpies and the diaper pouch that turned out fantastically? I also had to throw in a crocheted hat and a pair of booties. She loved them and I loved making them. Wish I had more new babies to craft for!

I made a couple of pillows for the girls' bed. Their birthday was Saturday. I had to make them at least a little something.

I even managed to whip this little beauty up for myself. It was quick and easy and it will get lots of wear for sure. I am becoming a hat wearin' kind if gal. Eliminates the need to do my hair...sweet! Free pattern from ravelry.



Christmas came early for this crafty-mama. I will fill you in later. All I have to say is thank goodness for knowledgeable friends!
