motivation...

For some reason this week I am lacking crochet motivation.  Maybe it is the busy family schedule we have had lately.  Maybe it is the cookie mom duties that have taken over my life. Or maybe it is needing a challenge to get the creative juices flowing.  Whatever the reason, it has been a little harder to pick up the hook this week.  Now that doesn't mean that I haven't completed a project.  A friend of mine asked me to create some fingerless gloves and head band for her to wear to hockey games.  Being the fashion forward lady that she is, she wanted to make sure she could coordinate with her outfits.  Soo...
We created a fingerless glove that has interchangable flower to match with outfits.

Isn't it pretty?  :)  I am looking forward to making the matching headband.

To try and spark the creative juices, I am going to step back from making things for others and make a couple of things just for me.  Doesn't that sound selfish? I can't wait to see how they turn out.



Some baskets for school



I love bags! 

 After I try them out for myself, I will be happy to make them for someone else! 

As Always,

Happy Hooking! :)



A few more projects

It has felt so great to give some people items that they ordered from me.  I can't believe that people actually ordered things from me.  I must say it is good for the old self esteem. 
Currently I am working on a pair of fingerless gloves for a co-worker that I am making from this youtube video:

She is one of my favorite youtube instructors and who doesn't love an Aussie accent.  :)
We are changing the gloves a bit by adding a flower that can be changed to match her outfits and adding a matching headband.  I will post a picture when I am done.  Here are the two projects I delivered this week.

A monkey in pink for a coworker's daughter

Here is a beautiful model, Lola modeling the hat I made

Not as happy but the hat is on the right way :)
 

Thanks again for stopping by.  I am happy to make items for others and am more than willing to work with anyone who may have an idea for a project as well.  I am off to finish the fingerless gloves and then move on to a sock monkey hat and matching diaper cover.:
As always...
Happy Hooking
