I am thankful for all the things!

I have so much in my life to be thankful for! I don't even know where to begin.

Let's see...

I am thankful for the love of my life, Randy. Who is always be my side and makes fun of me about everything, but if he didn't then I would worry.

I am thankful for my parents. They have always encouraged me to do my best and been there to support me every step of the way.

I am thankful my marmy taught me how to be crafty. I love that we have the connection through crocheting, knitting and sewing that makes our relationship even stronger.

I am thankful for my siblings. 

• Joshie always knows how to cheer me up and tell me things even though I may not want to hear them.
• Alene and I can joke about anything and everything. We had our ups and downs through life, but I only see an upward swing from here! She even wrote out a "will" in yarn that I get her yarn :) 

I am thankful for the special people in my life.

• Kayla for all the random conversations we have had since high school. Even though we are miles apart our friendship is close to my heart.
• Angela for always being up to hanging out and painting pottery with me at the last minute. 
• Rachel for always having something to chat yarnie things with. One day we will turn our digital friendship into a real life meeting! You bring the hooks, I will bring the yarn! HAHA

I am thankful for all the ladies in my knitting and crochet group. 

I am thankful for the people who have always been there to encourage me to be ME.

I am thankful for all my furbabies, even when they claw me in the middle of the night, drag my yarn through the house, bark in the middle of the night, chew my pillows.... Life wouldn't be the same without them!


I am thankful to have a roof over my head.

I am thankful to have food in my belly.

I am thankful to have clothes on my back.

I am thankful that each day I have a chance to live life to the fullest.

I am thankful for everyone in my life and so much more!

Just a little Ice Skate (Crochet Pattern FREE!!!)

The other day when I was at work a co-worker showed me a picture in a magazine that was a little crocheted ice skate. It was super cute! She knows my love for yarn and thought I would enjoy the photo. We talked a little bit about the picture and I told her that it was be super easy to make.

So, I went home and did what I do best. I pulled out my G hook and some white yarn! I used Red Heart Super Saver, since I had it on hand.

A Good Problem!

As y'all can tell I haven't been around my blog very much lately. I have a good reason! I have been crocheting up a storm!

I had a few customer orders come in.

I decided at the last minute to do another booth, since I still had quite a bit on hand. The booth was rather disappointing, but it lead to come good networking.

This past few weeks I have had orders rolling it! It hasn't left me much time to update on here. I promise I will try and be better!

Ready for the FOP? (Finished Objects Parade) 

My pretty booth set up at Shop Small Y'all!

 Baby Booties! It is a free pattern on Ravelry.

 Same pattern as above, but I added the loop stitch.

 Same pattern as above, but I added the loop stitch and buttons.

6 pairs of boot cuffs! These patterns are on Pinterest. Here is a link my board. I will link the direct link when I come across it again :)

Cross Over slant stitch hat with brim is also a free pattern on Ravelry.

I also finished my friend, Kayla's baby blanket. I really need to get to the post office. Little Natalie will be here in the next week. This pattern is pretty much out of my head. I have made a few chevron scarfs, so I increased the foundation chain row and made it blanket size. There are a ton of free chevron patterns out there. 

I have more, but I will spare you from having to keep scrolling! If you want to stay up to date on everything that I am working on follow me in all the places below! I would love to connect with you!
