Zebra Style warmers

Here is one done in zebra yarn. I wasn't sure I'd like it when I bought it. However, I like how it turned out! I'm going to try it with popcorn stitches and a bigger hook.

5th warmer design! I love this blue color!

I have been obsessed with these warmers! All week, one after another. I should gave been doing other things- it's a sickness!':)

I love the way this color turned out!

I've got to write down my instructions before I forget!!!

Thanksgiving experiments! First crochet tutorial!

Ive been obsessed with this crochet thong the last two weeks. This week over thanksgiving break I've actually made several things. I'm glad I had yarn stardust in the closet from previous attempts. Amen for YouTube!!

I've tried to use the basics I've soaked up. I guess it's worked :) I made these new wrist warmers from my own sign! And I made the yellow hat! So cool!

Here are the basic instructions for my warmer below the 2nd pic.

My first wrist warmer!

I've gotten on this crochet bend! Too many hours watching YouTube videos and surfing on-line tuts and patterns :) So fun too learn new things though! It's just what I've needed to get my mind off stressful things going on right now.

This is my first wrist warmer! I used this lovely tutorial/ pattern.

I modified the rows above the cuff though. I like the flare look so I added larger shells to each row. Too cute!!

Need to do one for the other hand! :)

Crochet flower 2

I tried the Bee Happy Flower tut again! I love the way it turns out!!! So fast! This one is part of my little cousin's Christmas gift. However there is enough for one for me !!! Oh yeah!!!

The link is posted in the previous blog!

This is fun! But lord knows I don't need to sink money into a new hobby! Lol but then again- too cute!! Woot!

My first Bee Happy Crochet flower!

I wanted to do some other hobby. I've crocheted in the past but I'm no master at it. I love flowers. While putting together an etsy treasury I kept seeing all these fabulous crochet pieces. So I looked around on YouTube for some tuts! I found thus great one for this Bee Happy Flower! It looked easy enough for me to try tonight. So I dragged out what hooks and yarn I had in the closet. It only took an hour- not bad for my first ever crochet flower!

My Kim-A-Lola Wire Ring Class!

Here is a pic from my wire ring class at Kim's! We had so much fun! It was great getting to spend time with these funny ladies and teach them a new ring design (2 actually)!

I absolutely love, Kim's classroom! The decor is wonderful- I wish it were my studio at home, lol!

I'm excited for my Angel and Fervent Love Cross classes in December!

Beautiful skies

I live sky pictures. They're just too beautiful. They make me think of heaven and God and glory. They make life seem so much more expansive.

This us a photo from on my way home from work.

My next round of wire classes!

I'm so excited to announce that I will be teaching two more wire classes in December! Awesome!!
I love wire as all my friends know. I am so excited to be teaching my wire angel and my Agape Cross! If you are in or around Urbana feel free to stop by or call Kim's Creative Designs for the class schedules!


Dates and times coming soon!

Finished pendent

I started this pendant at the Ohio Beaders bead retreat. Work, life, everything has been hectic- no time or inspiration to finish. Last night I decided to chuck aside grading papers and finish my piece while I begged out watching season 1 of The Vampire Diaries.

Now Syary Night is finished :) woot!!!
