Ta-Dah! Crochet Along Part 3

I actually finished this pillow Friday of last week. You can see the process here and here. I really like the way it turned out. It's very Spring-y!

My daughter really likes it too...thta's her "Nuby" in the photo.

Now that I am done with this, time for another one. I think I have just one more pillow in mind. Just one more. LOL

Crochet Along Part 2

Before I get to the Crochet Along, I have to point this out...Check out the last two sentences... One week after that, 5 inches of snow. LOL

Back tot he Crochet Along. Check out my Part 1 here

I am running a little behind, so I didn't completely finish both sides. but I am close. Once I got the hang of it, it worked up pretty fast. I will admit though, I had to start over once or twice (I should have watched the video).

I decided to make both sides of the pillow the same using the stripey yarn, mostly because I really like the way it looks. I will add the fur around the edges.

Week 3 starts today!

Crochet Along....

So I was looking around favecrafts.com blog (after a little flickr prompt to check it out), and found out that All Free Crochet.com is having a crochet along. Even better, it's for a pillow cover! Since I'm on this pillow kick these days, it is so very perfect for me. Check it out here: Pillow Crochet Along. It started Wednesday of last week, with the gathering of supplies. Today we get part of the pattern to work on for Week 2, and then the rest the following week. Uh, yes, I am excited. LOL

As soon as I read the supply list, I started thinking of what kind of yarn and colors I could use. Then I remember that I got this color purple (my favorite color) eyelash yarn as a Christmas gift....SCORE....So I picked the rest of the yarn/colors based off that eyelash yarn. Check it out below.

Isn't it pretty? Not sure if you can tell from the picture, but it is sparkly. My daughter is gonna love this when it's done.

So anyway, I took a little trip to Michael's....Then I went to Joann's....FOUND IT, even though I didn't know what I was looking for before I got there. :)

I actually already had the purple Gala Yarn, from a previous Big Lots trip.

Now I am ready!!

My First Time

I am so excited! This is my first cushion cover ever. I really like the way it turned out. Even better, I used yarn I already had in the house. I am on a scrap busting mission :)

I have to be honest, My original goal was to make these squares into a blanket (another first). But just like I thought, I was over it real quick. I can never commit to a project that takes that much time. Imma instant gratificate type of girl!!!
