My new obsession…

For Christmas I asked Micah for a cheap kit that would get me everything I needed to start learning to crochet. He listened & got me exactly what I wanted! Since then I’ve been spending every “free” moment working on projects. I’m certainly not professional by any means but here’s what I’ve managed to make so far:

A Swiffer Sweeper reusable cleaning cover - I found this on pinterest & had to try it - this is a picture of my very first attempt, I ended up making one for my mom too & then a modified one for my sister’s Swiffer wet-jet too!

A baby blanket for the new baby - I even added flowers for her to play with when having her tummy time :)

An ear warmer headband for myself - it had 2 layers I had to sew together which was a learning experience

I started with a hat for this baby girl & made one for a friend for a shower gift too:

A gal at church had a baby boy so I made him one for the shower present too:

Then I attempted booties, I wasn’t too fond of this pattern but they will work for when baby is first born

Alexa thought I should make her a hat like baby girl’s too, only on hers I switched the colors around & added another stripe. :)


Then I found a cute headband pattern so I made Alexa one & she had me make baby girl a matching one
(sorry for the poor lighting on these pics)

Then I finally splurged and bought a pattern online & made this “rain boot style” bootie for baby girl - Alexa is begging for me to make her the same ones but I’m not sure if I can modify the pattern to fit her so we’ll see!

Next up I have to make Logan a “monkey” hat as he calls it & then I might attempt the boots for Alexa & Logan (they both keep begging) & then I hope to make another receiving blanket for baby girl before she arrives as well. We’ll see though! :) Most projects are easy & take only a few hours but the blanket I did in all half double crochets so it took longer than if I’d done a bigger (longer) stitch :)

So, if I seem a little recluse lately, I’m probably just sitting at home crocheting - Micah refers to me as his little old lady wife because even if we have people over I sit there crocheting while they talk or watch TV or what not :)
