About Me

My photo
I am married and have two beautiful daughters. I have dabbled in numerous different crafts over the years. I haven't done any paper-crafting in a very long time. About 10 years ago I picked up a crochet hook and started a blanket for a friend. Like with many of us life got in the way and the project was moved to a box and never completed. In 2019, I severely broke my ankle and was confined to the couch for around 6 months. I picked my crochet hooks back up and haven't looked back. I still haven't finished that first blanket, but I have completed several others. I have even attempted to write a couple different patterns. So you will see this blog take on a new look as I start posting my crochet projects.

Another card




I made another card tonight as well. Since Megan got her braces put on today and is in a little pain. I decided to make her a card to help cheer her up.

The Little Mermaid


Alyx was bugging me non-stop to make her a mermaid b-day card. I finally broke down and made it tonight.

Two Cards I made





I have been encouraged by a group of ladies on the Cricut message board to do a daily challenge. Each day for an hour we are suppose to do something creative (i.e. Layout, card, other craft project). Last night I ended up crafting for 2 hours and created these two cards.
The first card is a valentines day card that I am going to give to my hubby. The second card is a mothers day card. I created both using the Wild Card Cart and decorated with stickles.

New project is in the works

I have been working on a new project, but I am waiting on a delivery to finish it up. I hope I will be able to share some photos of it on Tuesday. I am excited about this one, because I plan on it being used as a holiday tradition for years to come.

Baptism Bracelets I have made








In the last year I have started making jewelry. I started with a Baptism Bracelet for my then unborn niece. She was born in August 2009. I have also made Baptism or Birthstone Bracelets for friends children and for family. I use sterling silver, pearls, and unleaded crystal gemstones. I also made over 20 different pieces of all sorts for friends and family for Christmas. Unfortunately I was in a hurry and did not get any photos. I know bad me. Here are some of the bracelets I have made.
Thanks for looking.

Birthday Invitiation


This is the first big project I did after I got my cricut. I had used it a few times to make some letters for layouts, but for these invitations I had to make several (I am thinking close to 20) of them. I know they are simple, but I really like how they turned out. My daughter loved them too. She had a bowling party with a soccer theme. I used the Beyond Birthday Cart.
