Crochet Adventures

I have been crocheting a lot lately, a lot more then blogging for sure! (Sorry!)

I am always trying to think of new things to make. I can't really say I'm running out of ideas, I guess it more like running out of skills. I know it takes practice, but I feel like I should be better. It doesn't help that prior to this, it had been almost 20 years since I had picked up a crochet hook and about 15 years since I picked up a knitting needle. Although, I haven't started knitting again, some designs I see online make me want to run out to pick up some needles, but I have so many bookmarks for crocheted items and recipes, I think I'll try to tackle them before moving on to yet another new hobby. LOL!

It's funny, I started this blog to try to figure out new hobbies and now I have more then I can handle. :)

Well, here are some recent project I have completed.

 

Tell me what you think? Good enough to open an Etsy shop? LOL! (It's under consideration, he he!)

Happy Crafting!! :)

Help I need better lighting!!

I haven't really been taking pictures of my yummy food or posting any recipe lately. I know it's really sad for me too. I bought a new fancy camera just be for Christmas and it takes some awesome pictures, but since it gets dark around 4:30 pm right now. My pictures still look like crap, due to my kitchen's horrible lighting. *sigh*

I think I may have to actually invest in a light box. Oh, and maybe some photography lessons for my bad composition. I guess I can't blame that one lighting.  LOL!!

Here's a Light Box kit from Henrys.com for $179.99
A little to steep for a simple hobby.

Although, I did find an awesome link, which shows how to make a light box for under $50 bucks. Awesome right!!

I hope to make one soon, then maybe I'll get out of this photography funk. :(

At least, I have my crocheting!! :)

What do you do in your spare moment?

Happy Hobbying! :)

New Hobby :)

Over the past few months have picked up a new obsession hobby. I have been looking for one for a little while now, but I think this is it. I have been making slippers galore.

 

I have moved on to adult and baby hats, oh and baby mittens. Although, I don't have any babies in my household, I have decided to make as many baby hats and mittens to donate to my local hospital. I am actually really excited for this new venture. I have always told my husband I wanted to change the world, but never really knew how. I think this is my opportunity. :)

I think I have also found a new New Year's Resolution. :)

I wonder how many I can donate in a year. Hmm...

Happy Crafting!!  :)
