Fresh From My Hook!

New goodies to share

I know long time no post! Haven't meant to be MIA! It's baseball time around our house so that means practice, games, practice, games....Yikes!  Oh and toss Spring Break in their too which means kids home. Uh Yeah...

Well I have also been working at putting new things in my ETSY Shop which you can get to by clicking on the link on your right handside.  I've been adding lots of new things. 

The most recent are these super cute Granny Square Baby Lovey's or Security Blankets! I think these are the cutest ever!

What do you think? I have no idea what I was looking for but I ended up seeing these on Pinterest and just had to make some. So I made these last week - Yes ALL of them. You can say I am "hooked" on these little babies! ; )  These would make the perfect baby shower gift. I can just see a little one dragging one of these around with him/her....how cute!  I also made a cute little monkey which I finished last night!

This one is the same blanket pattern as above. I made up my own little face, ears and arms...the banana was from the Crochet Magazine.  I just made the banana.  That pattern is available HERE.

If you are interested in how to make these baby blankets you can get the pattern HERE.

Sharing another cute project

Sorry to have been MIA but I've been busy "Stampin" & "Hookin" and here is just one of the items I want to share with you! It was one of those projects that I've had on the back burner for awhile now.  It's a cute project and it works up nicely.

Crocheted Headband with a Flower - Isn't this the cutest?  I made this for my daughter and I am hoping she'll model it for me a little later.

I used Red Heart Yarn and the color is Coffee. The pattern was found on a great site called Ravelry.com  I changed the flower and used one I found on this other site.

Here is a closer picture. LOVE how the flower came out. Making more colors and will share those later. Plus a few other goodies I've been working on.

 
I will have these for sale on my Etsy Shop also. If you haven't been there check it out on the right hand side of my blog. I've been adding new items.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Hookin'!

Fun Scarfs

Happy Friday all!  So this past week I've been a hookin' maniac...literally!  Lots of fun projects on my plate!  I wanted to share the picture of the last post where I said what are these or someting like that.  Well here it is. How fun is this!

I have been making a TON of these scarfs! Now get this? These are knitted!  I know..me Knit? Yes I sure did and I taught myself. 

Now I will admit this is probably the only thing that I will knit as it works up pretty fast even for me! LOL!

I will have these for sale in my ETSY shop over the weekend so stay tuned!

I will share a few other projects that's I've been working on alittle later.

As I've mentioned my hook has been on fire and I've got like 4 more things to share.

What could be next....

On my Hook!!  Happy Friday!  Can't believe this month is half way through! GEEZ!  Anyway, I have a few things I'm working on right now.  One is a Black Bombie Hat and another well I'll share that a little later!  But I wanted to show a teaser picture of something that will be going into my Etsy Shop very soon!  What could it be? HMMMM.....

I'll leave you with this picture.....I know mean right? Don't you just love all the colors?  Know what it is - comment below!

What's on my Hook Wednesday

Well it's Wedneday and the middle of the week! For some reason this week has been flying by! Maybe because I've been really busy crocheting and catching up on House duties. HMMM...Ok so I've been crocheting....and cardmaking...it's my job and I'm sticking to it!

So what's on my hook?  Or should I say what just came off my hook - Been working on a Crocheted "Granny Lapghan" - What is that? A Big Granny Square.  Super easy to work up too!  I made this for my Grandmother one of her favorite colors. I think she's going to love it!

What do you think? I really like this color. The yarn I used is from Red Heart and it's called Claret - It's almost like a Burgundy-ish color....it's really pretty in person. I tried to get the best picture.  So what's next? Well I've got a few things. Need to finish Marcus' Skull Beanie he'll be asking for it soon. But I saw a really cute purse on YouTube that I just have to try out! I just can't help it! Also since I finished this Afghan last night  and I had a little bit of time I crochted my first headband - just need to finish the flower! Wait til you see it!  Well on to wash the blanket so I can deliver to my Grandma today! 

Until next time Happy Craftin'!

What I've been working on

Ok, little by little I’m getting caught up on things around the house.  Ok, seriously – do we ever get “caught up”??  I know I’ve always got something to do around here!  So now I’m taking the time to Craft! LOL! 

Well during Survivor Crop I was working on a few things for Halloween for my son’s class and besides chit chatting and doing Make n Takes and eating….well I finally got out my crocheting….I’ve been working on this cute little hat and I am finally done. I actually finished Sunday when I rested up (3hrs).

What do you think?  Totally inspired by the ever popular game “Angry Birds” I just LOVE how this little red bird came out! (This is not my design but one that was shared.)

This one is an Adult Size.  My son wants one so I will be making a  kids size over the weekend.  Will share the photo with my little model when I get it done. Not bad for my first try!  This is the front view of the bird.
 
Will I be making these sell? Absolutely!  More details to come! Questions? Want to order yours for Christmas? Email me at yvonne@yvonnemetz.com or call 760-597-0020 to place your orders.  These are going to be made to order.  Thanks for stopping by…..
