It's been way to long since last posted.

Well now that the holidays are over and we have slowly gotten back into our daily routines I can finally sit down and use my pc. Our holidays were cheerful and blessed we are so thankful for the family and friends in our lives. Santa was able to spoil our children this year which makes getting up to go to work in this frightful weather alittle easier. The snow fall amounts have been unreal but the worst of it has just started>>FREEZING TEMPS<<!!! Yuck!! Well with the weather being stubborn and cruel I have managed to get some projects completed to share with everyone.

First is the hat I made for my daughter from the pattern published in Crochet Today magazine for Jan/Feb. I used purple and black because she got a new coat and snow pants for her 5th birthday on Dec14th. I wish I would have made the heart black instead of purple so it showed up better.
The next item I finished was the brimmed hat pattern from crochetville member.I tweaked it a bit adding the ear flaps. It was suppose to be for my mom but she decided she didn't like it's fit. Well below is the new owner, my dear daughter.
The next request from my mom was to make her new mini pin puppy a sweater. I found a easy and cute pattern on crochetville that is specifically for tiny dogs. The colors were yellow and pink scraps I had left over from another item.
Finally my latest finished project is for a dear friend who just celebrated her birthday on New Years Day. She liked the look of the hooded scarf in the Crochet Today issue Jan/Feb so I made one for her in the colors of her jacket.


Last but not quite finished is a pair of mittens to match the purple hat for my daughter. This is the first pair of mittens I have attempted to make. I feel proud that I am almost done just in time for the freezing cold!
