Headbands!

FINALLY I can share some of my Christmas presents I made for my family!!! 

I really do love getting to spend my time making lovely gifts for my loved ones!

Awhile back my aunt had this awesome knit headband with a giant crocheted flower on it that she wore at one of the football games.  I knew right away that I could make some for my sister-in-laws and it would be the perfect gift for them!

These were fast and easy to make. 

I finished them off with a fun button on the end so it will be easy to take them on and off. 

Hopefully I'll get a fun picture of my sister-in-laws wearing them to post later!

Flower Headbands

I had seen this post on Itsy Bitsy Spider on making crocheted flowers and I instantly wanted to make some! They are so cute and easy to make!!! But would they look cute on?  Why, a hand band of course!!!

I made this one for my daughter.  

Its just a crocheted circle and I attached the flower on top.

I also made two more that I will eventually put in my etsy shop when I do open it... need to get working on that!  These just need a button added to make it easy to adjust and take on and off.

And I have also been hard at work on the hexagon blanket.  It might be smaller than I had planned... I have about 2 more rows to go. Trying to decide if I'll just make it this size or go for bigger... decisions decisions!!

Pay it Forward Crafty Style

A few weeks ago my friend Jaime had a status on facebook that said

"Pay it Forward for creative people: I promise to send something handmade to the first 5 people who leave a comment to this update. They must in then promise to post this and send something they made to the first 5 posters on their status. The rules are that it must be handmade by you and it must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2010."

Well I had to get it on that! So I commented and re-posted the message on my facebook.
My friend Allison was the first to respond and I made her a headband. I got the idea from a headband I received from AJ.

 She just got it in the mail, so its safe to post!!

And I got these lovely graduation invitations from my friend Jaime

 I walk the stage this Saturday for my Gradation from UT with my Masters in Social Work.  I wrap everything up this summer with one last class and finishing up the internship hours. YEAH!
