50 Days of Features: Day 30

Hi Everyone! 

Sorry I'm a little late with this post!  This one was for yesterday, but I kind of forgot to post it...
Anyway, as I mentioned before, I have found a lot of really cute hat patterns! 
I LOVE this little baby viking hat-- isn't that clever? 

So, so cute!  I love the way the stitches near the edge look!

Find the pattern here at Prepster Crochet. 

3 Happy Things

Hi Everyone!

Let me say, today has just been one of those days!  You know, where things just aren't working out, and the weather seems to match the mood?  You know what I'm talking about. 

So, in order to keep an optimistic outlook on things, I thought I would post a list of 3 crafty things that are making me smile this week. 

1. Ravelry:  I really, really love Ravelry!  It is such a nice way to pass time and find awesome patterns!


2.  Handmade Earrings:  If there is one thing I love, it is making earrings.  But, if there is one thing I love even more than making them, it is wearing them!  You not only get the pretty earrings, but you also get to say "I made these!" to whoever compliments you on them.  I made a pair the other day (pictures soon to come!) and have been enjoying wearing them all day!


3.  Fingerless Gloves:  I crocheted some fingerless gloves last week and I am really loving wearing them!  Fingerless gloves don't entirely make sense--and aren't incredibly useful--but they are so pretty and fun to wear!  

What are YOU loving this week? 

50 Days of Features: Day 29

Hi Everyone!  

I thought I would choose a cute hat for today, but had a hard time choosing just one--so expect to see more in the next few days! 

I chose one of my favorites to feature today-- a YODA baby hat!  (Maybe I should have typed Yoda's name in small text since he is little and green?)   How cool is that?!?

One of the cutest ideas ever.

Have a great da-----whoops!  I almost missed my chance there.  "May the Force be with you!" 

Miniature Foods = FUN!

Hi Everyone!

I made these little miniatures a while back and have finally gotten around to sharing them!
They were really, really fun to make! 

The food is displayed on wooden buttons.  I used regular bake able clay for most of the food, but I used liquid clay for the frosting on one of the cakes and for the glaze on the cinnamon rolls.  I made used a little bottle cap for the pie pan.   
I crocheted the tablecloth with some white crochet thread I had. 

Miniatures are SO fun to make!  There are some really neat tutorials for it around as well. 
Looking for more mini-inspiration?  Check out the Mini Food blog--- and prepare to be amazed! 

Hope the rest of your week is awesome!
