OMG I Have So Many Ideas!

I've had so many ideas and so many new projects going that it makes my head spin. And now I just found a freeform crochet group on Facebook I just have to join if they'll have me. Here are some things I've started recently that I don't want to lose track of:
1. Boho crochet purse
2. Crocheted hexagon dress
3. Bunnies with no arms or legs
4. Circular freeform crocheted hat
5. Freestyle crochet mood afghan
6. Hexagon mood afghan
7. Gelli Printing
8. Crochet Terrarium with mushrooms and a hanging moon
9. Resin jewelry
10. Witch knitted pullover

I'm sure I'm forgetting some but I'll stop there for now so I can crochet before bedtime.

Gold Scarf, Mood Afghan and Quilted Tote Bags

Yesterday I finished knitting the sparkly gold scarf. I still have to fix the fringe on it.

And I am also caught up with my 365 day mood afghan. I need to organize all the pieces before they get lost.

The new kitten Houdini is making it harder to craft. He keeps jumping up on my lap or flopping over on the table wanting his tummy scratched. For a feral cat he sure is a cuddly guy.

Did I ever mention the Fat Quarters tote bags I'm making? I don't think I have. I have to turn in the book telling how to make them. Darn it all. When will I learn NOT to make projects from library books. Then I either have to end up buying the book, requesting it again so I can check it out another time, or snapping a photo with my digital camera hoping I can find the directions on my hard drive later.

New Girl's Skirt Project

Right now I'm knitting a gauge square in purple yarn for a girl's skirt design. It is going to be striped with some pretty wild colors.

On Wed. I started crocheting a monkey just about at the end of the knitting gathering at Fanciwerks. I haven't had time to work on it since but I hope to get to it today.

And I'll keep working on my mood afghan. Here is a photo of that:

Mid October Update

Those ideas just keep coming.

Yesterday I started my knitted fox hood in coffee brown, burnt pumpkin and cream. I decided to edge it with the dark color first so the orange will stand out more.

Holding the yarn for the fox hood.


The first 3 rows of the fox hood are done.
The top and bottom layers of the boho purse are ready to be joined.
 Above is the Gypsy Boho Style Bag. I've made a lot of progress on it. I love the colors. Things are really coming together.


I find it helpful to stick the buttons onto tape to keep them from blowing away while working on them in the yard.
Fiddling around with crocheting buttons. Would you pay $2 a piece for them on Etsy?
Making a hexagon a day for my MOOD AFGHAN.
Today is day 4 of my mood afghan. What colors shall I choose today? I'm in a hungry mood. Maybe yellow, white and brown for bacon and eggs. Haha.

Works in Progress Wednesday: New and Not So New Fiber Arts

Knitting a scarf that I found in 'Greetings From Knit Cafe. So far it's beige. Two x two ribbing.

I'm almost finished with my red and grey woven tam too.

And I'd really like to get back to quilting today.

A Quick Catch-Up

My goodness I've been busy, but haven't been posting here.  Just off the top of my head I'm working on the following  projects:

I just threw four pots. The line up so far is a bowl, a vase, a milk bottle shaped vessel, and a pitcher.
I'll keep you posted on how that goes.

Cro-knit Double Ended Crochet Hook

I was unpacking things from storage and ran across a double-ended crochet hook. Now I know I have a book on it and tried it in the past and couldn't figure it out for anything.  But I figured I could try again if I could find a tutorial on You-tube and now I am happily making something which may turn out to be a hat. The written directions that came with the hook said to cast on 36 to make a scarf, so I did. But this thing is way too wide to be a scarf, so I thought I'd either make an envelope hat or a vest. Before I make a vest I need to figure out how to make increases and decreases, so I can make arm holes.

A Hat, Three Dolls, Two Fish & a Cat Toy

I feel like I'm running around like mad and still not keeping up.  So here are a few things I've made recently. If you'd like me to make you anything along these lines I can whip it up and put it in my Etsy shop.  But I'll never know if you don't speak up.

Crochet Hat with Braid Tubes

I can't remember when I started this hat but I just finished it and listed it on Etsy and Yardsellr.
So  feeling pretty cocky about my success, I started crocheting another one last night in shades of purple and gray.

Hat for Cullen

My friend just made her son SCA garb so I thought I'd crochet him a hat out of a tan colored yarn.

atlatl

Hickory atlatl with antler handle.  I cut my atlatl too short, and now the project just got a lot trickier with the atlatl having to be lengthened with antler.  I'm so out of my comfort zone.

2. Green crocheted elephant.  I started making it on the way to the San Marcos art gathering.  Running out of green so the legs may have to be another color.
