A Few Crocheting Projects

The past few weeks I have been croctheting a lot. Actually I saw something that talked about plarn, a plastic yarn made from recycled plastic bags. I figured that I would give it a try and turned sixty grocery bags into plarn for me to use. I did not know what I was going to do with it. Just as I finished making all the plarn that I was going to I decided to make a bag. Since I did not want the bag to stretch to much I paired it with an acrylic yarn, which gave it more color.



My family recently went to a friend's daughter's first birthday party. To add to the pretty princess that she is, I made her a little tiara. It was kind of unplanned because I had nothing to do the morning of her party and just picked up the yarn and made something. Since I finished right before we left for her party my younger daughter gave it to the little girl as a gift.  



Unfortunately I was not feeling good at the party due to a sinus infection. So when I started feel like I had enough of the fun I sat down at one of the picnic tables and picked up my bag which had some yarn in it and stated crocheting something. I think I had two people ask what I was making and all I could say is I don't know. Well in the end it turned into a head band that my younger daughter has claimed. My older daughter wanted one to so I reversed the colors for one for her.



Since I liked the way the little princess tiara turned out for my friend's daughter's birthday, I decided to make a crown prince one for my youngest son's birthday tomorrow. Hard to believe that he started school today and tomorrow he turns five years old. They sure grow up so fast.

Cell Phone Pouch

I made another cell phone pouch. My kids say it looks like a funny cow or a silly puppy. 


I had cut the pieces and put them in my purse package for a take along project. At church on Sunday I was having a hard time just sitting there and only listening so I pulled it out to work on. Once my projects get started I tend to keep working on them till they are completed. I had finished one section at church and finished up the rest at home that evening. Now I have my own funny creature cell phone pouch.


I have been wondering what other funny creatures I can make. Guess I will hunt through my supplies and see what I come up with. Any suggestions?

Heart Box for a friend

I recently was given kits to make heart shaped boxes in different sizes. I put one together so far and thought it would be nice for one of my friends. I gave it to her for her birthday on Sunday. Unfortunetly I was unable to get my others friends box done in time for Sunday since they have the same birthday.

So as not to give an empty box to my friend I found a few good size peices of fabric that she would like from my supplies to put in the box for her.

Now to just get my other friends box done and figure out what to put in it.
