My New Hobby!

A few months ago, two friends tried to teach me how to crochet...out in the desert. While they were trying to teach me, I was trying to watch the kids at the same time and so much else was going on that I couldn't quite catch on.  So when I got home, I told myself that I was going to learn.  Luckily there are a ton of crochet videos out there to learn from on YouTube and it made it easy for me to pause and rewind over and over and over again.  I began with a flower and a beanie for Savanna and she loved it.  Then I made beanies for the rest of the family too!  Crocheting has taken up a lot of my time, hence the bad blogging on my part!  But I love to crochet and find it relaxing and am always looking for a new project to start. 

Here are some of my completed projects so far:







 This is a pillow gift that I forgot to take a pic of after I stuffed it and finished the stitching

 My first afghan took me almost a month to complete
