Summer Fashions

Summer is upon us and that means lightweight, flowy, or open weave clothes. I have been taking some time off to make myself some fun summer styles.

Let me share my favorite patterns so far

Mehndi Snood

A bun cover/snood inspired by beautiful mehndi designs.

Simple Summer Dress Recipe

A simple summer dress that almost requires no counting. 

This pattern is a recipe, it requires basic knowledge of crochet.

 -Andy Warhol

With national yarn bomb day coming up in June I did something special to celebrate, I yarn bombed my bike.

Technicolor Dream Coat

I'm still super busy with family but I go crazy without crochet so I have been slipping in some here and there.

Derby Hat

Oh man, I knew this month was going to be busy but I didn't know how busy. My poor little mind is doing back-flips and because of this it just hasn't been up to full creative power.

I did manage to find time to finish my hat for a Kentucky Derby party.

Sunny

It's bright a sunny here and hovering in the mid to high eighties. (Sorry to rub this in Omaha) This lovely weather has made me train harder than normal. 5k is just not enough to suck in springtime so I have been doing up to 10k. My soul has been happy but my feet have not. I had to take a break to heal. 

Anyway, I made some suns. This are a little bigger than your palm and would make a cute accent on a fridge or a silly hat.

Wedding Potholders

It's spring time and that means wedding time. This time the happy bride loves cookbooks and cooking. We bought her some baking items from her registry and we are going to embellish the gift with a lovely cookbook and a stack of handmade potholders.

BA Octopus

I'm finally back! I bet you all thought I drowned in my yarn box. 

Well, I'm back and I have a BA octo for you. (BAO- Big Ass Octopus, the nick name while working on it stuck)

Loonette

I'm a puppeteer. Or, I was most of my life. I always have fun watching children's shows with puppets. One show I used to watch was The Big Comfy Couch. Loonette the clown had an amazing hat, I have always wanted one. Last night I was in a quirky mood so I sat down and crocheted one.
