Christmas is coming up soon! Yay!!! We love Christmas in my house. This year I have decided to hand make all my gifts for my kids. Santa will be bringing books & puzzzles and the such. But who needs another barbie?!?!? Certainly not my girls. We have tons of toys and do not need anymore - except for the cute dolls and amigurumi pets that I will be making for them. But, those hand made gifts, that I will spend many sleepless hours crocheting, should mean a lot more than something off the shelf! I think that something that took time, energy, and love is worth way more than a flashy, plastic toy.
Keep an eye out this next week. I will be adding a few more cute hats that will be for sale - a baby bear beanie, and an awesome,colorful earflap owl hat (Say that 5 times real fast!) So, check back! .

I love to Crochet
I started crocheting some time ago, and I love it! I am always thinking of my next project. What is it going to be? How will it turn out? What colors will I use? Who will I give it to? Strangely, it often consumes my thoughts! There have been many times when my Husband has to ask me to PUT IT DOWN so that I can concentrate on more important things. I just get in the zone and sometimes it's hard to come out!
Something happened today that I never expected. I took a little Hello Kitty hat, that I had just finished, with me to my weekly coffee break. We all sit around, drink coffee, eat goodies and a few of us crochet and knit. It's been a wonderful time for me to socialize with my mommy friends and to indulge in a little adult conversation. (That is, as much as we can with 10 or more kids running around asking for goodies and drinks!) Anyway, I took this hat to show my friends my most recent project - my favorite one yet, and two of my friends asked me to make one for their daughters! They even offered to pay me. I then went home and posted my most recent homemade creations to my facebook, and I had another friend ask me to make one for her daughter as well! That's three orders in one day. Maybe I should get to crocheting! I even promised my 3 little girls that they would get one as well! This should keep me busy for awhile...
