I finally did it!

So I have been crocheting for several years, but really picked it back up and learned the most in the last 2 years... Greg has been watching me and listening to me talk about it (even though he could care less) and finally asked me the one day "Why don't you sell your patterns?" I told him that I didn't have any patterns since all I do is alter patterns to meet my needs... So there was a lot of back and forth on it and finally he understood why i couldn't sell what I had altered slightly for fit or something... Then I made a blanket for a friend's baby shower that was a MAJOR change from the original design... Greg told me to sell that pattern and I continued to fight him on it... Finally, I had several people explain to me how it was my own design, so I have that pattern being tested for clarity/errors... Then I designed a scarf, using some other patterns as reference, but my own design... I am happy to tell you that the pattern for that scarf was tested by two lovely ladies and is now finally ready for sale!!! X's Keyhole Scarf is now available to buy for $2.50, as a Ravelry download... As of right now, you have to be a member of Ravelry (free to join) to purchase this pattern, but I am working on figuring out how to make it available to anyone... (Edited to add, I think the buy now button will allow you to purchase without joining Ravelry) So here is my scarf from the X's Keyhole Scarf pattern:

 I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

Some overdue Crochet projects (Christmas gifts)

So I am long overdue on some of these projects, but since they were Christmas gifts it's ok that I waited to post them hehe

Nordstrom-Style Hobo Bag for Jas


XOXO Cross Blanket for O (my design, being tested for sale)


XOXO Cross Blanket for S (same design as above)


Longhorn Afghan for Robin and her Husband


A few things that I have made that weren't Christmas gifts

A Bible Bag for my "travel-size" Bible


A random scarf I made


And a scarf that I designed because the above was too simple for me... (being tested for sale, should be available next week)


“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

A few more crochet projects...

Ok here are a few more crochet projects

Brie asked me to make something for her co-worker's grand-daughter... This is a pattern that I am trying to refine...



These are a pair of slippers I made for a swap...



This is a dress that I made for Addison's 1st birthday and the headband (named Addison)



This washcloth is an illusion... when you look at it straight on it just looks like stripes, but look at an angle and you see the design, I gave this to my sister who has always loved Mickey!



I wanted to make a basket using these 2 yarns together, but after I got this far I realized that I didn't have enough light purple, so I turned it into a potholder for Brie...



Last is a hat that I tested the pattern for someone, I made 2 since I didn't like the length of the first one (the brown one)...

Rose Choker

Ok so here is my first piece of jewelry, and it is also for sale ($5)
It is an adjustable choker with 4 buttons on the back...

This shows it on a person

Sorry the pictures aren't better going to have Greg take some with his mad skills hehe... It is a moss green necklace with a red rose flower and moss green leaves... The buttons are black and it has a loop to go over the button...
