Crochet Hooray!!

What do you call the steps it takes to crochet a project?
A chain of events!
What’s the best Halloween costume for a crocheter?
Captain Hook!
 
Why did the crocheter join a dating service?

She wanted to get en-gauge-ed!
 
 


I have been busy with my crochet hooks again!  It has been interesting  actually..for those of you who are either knitters or crocheters- or who just  appreciate the feel of yarn, textures, colors, stitches and patterns will understand. 

As my boys have been having a tough time sleeping at night, I find it hard to get involved in any of my sewing projects at that time .  I am always listening for a shout, or a cry for "mama," that dashing from my sewing space, tucked away in my attic doesn't allow me to get as much done up there as I would like.  I find these smaller projects more accommodating for the small spans of time that I have...  and actually get more done on them in the evening.  I have been knitting some, and crocheting more.  I feel like I am better at it, and it goes faster!  As most of you recall- I do enjoy being able to see a project come together quickly, and see the end result even faster! 

Here are some cup cozy's that I stitched up!  We love to go to the new cafĂ© in our town, and these cozy's help to keep those delicious drops hot, and my fingers cool ;)

Well...  Greetings and Salutations to anyone who may actually still be connected to this blog!  This post is so embarrassingly long overdue, I have butterflies while writing it. For anyone who doesn't know... shortly after my last post in the spring of 2011, I became pregnant with twins, Cullen and Wyatt.  They became my number one project... as they made life a pregnant mom of twins the most challenging experience of my (then) 32 years.  I will let you read on that experience on another blog I kept for a while...  http://22iloveyou.blogspot.com/  Yes, that blog is also long overdue for updating.  It is my intention to be better about both blogs.  Call it a resolution or call it what I like to think of as me following through with a project, or two (things do happen in two's in my life :)) that I started. 

So happy 2014 to everyone! Thank you for following this chapter for now, or for a while. I hope your year ahead is filled with blessings, love, creativity, and the simple moments that define what life should really be about.
