Connor's Cleveland Browns Blanket

Each Granny Square is approx. 24 inches, there are 4 of them total. Two start out with Orange in the center and two start with Brown in the center.  I also added a border so I can make it bigger as he grows if he wants.

My Assistant's new Hobby too

So this would be the part of the show that shows how my addiction is negatively effecting my family.

My assistant has made more hats than me...

Adult Size

Adult Size

I helped him with the puff ball.

Doll Size

 Doll size or Cat size.

Our first model is wearing a black and white striped hat.

                                                 Our second model is wearing the same hat.

This is the same hat, but he added a Mohawk, with some assistance. =)





My New Hobby

Because I needed something else to do right? My friend at work and said Cable TV is going to make a show about my crafting addictions...lol

This my friends is the Knifty Knitter.

I tried to Knit with needles and just can't seem to conquer it. Takes too much brain power lol.

Love the Eeyore slippers, right?

These are small hats...I don't even know if they would fit a new born they are so small lol.


Maybe I can market them as Doll Hats.

So then...I bought the Round Series so I can make normal size hats.
 (I used  a 40% off coupon of course)

I also bought the small orange one, it says its for flowers...I am trying to make booties with it.

The long looms might be next!

Dishcloths

Some of you out there in cyberspace might not know that not only do I bake but I crochet too.

Here are some dish cloths I have made. =)

I have made more of them but I didn't take pics of them, they went out as gifts, these are ones I have left.

I also have 3 that I rotate between in the bathroom for keeping the counter clean and dry.  

I make scarfs too...I'm a slacker in the picture department so it seems...lol

Gooey Chocolate pudding cake

Gooey Chocolate Pudding Cake

by Anne Thornton on Food Network

This recipe doesnt call for a lot of ingredients and it's mostly stuff you would have on hand anyway.

After you have all of the ingredients in the pan you pour  1 1/2 cups of hot water on top...and don't stir!!

I am SO gonna make this again.

Hungry Girl Strawberry Daiquri

Joe's Retirement Cake

Hubby and I were asked to make a cake for his coworker's retirement party. He did all of the hard work...I just baked and frosted, he decorated it with the tools.

It's a white cake with buttercream frosting.

                                                             yeah...that is a finger...

             I could have put grass on that whole cake...I was having a good time with that tip.
