The Cutest Sweater Yet

This is the new original sweater i crocheted for raquel. I finished this sweater in an entire day. I will be coming out with the pattern asap. I love the color i used to crochet it with. And i just freehanded it and it turned out perfect.
Here is a close up picture of the sweater. This is the back of it.
This is the front of the sweater. I think this is the best one ive made yet. Im gonna be sure to make more in all kinds of sizes. Im so glad it turned out to fit her perfect...I will be sure to update with more pictures.



This is a picture of my daughter raquel wearing the yellow and blue outfit i crocheted. it looked so cute on her that i had to get a pic of her wearing it.







This is the shirt that goes with the yellow pants...kinda plain jane but i will spruce it up sometime soon with some flowers. And i will also be crocheting a half sweater the same color as the pants.













So this is a picture of the outfit i crocheted for raquel...i finished the yellow pants a few months ago and i just got finished with the shirt to match the pants. next will be a matching sweater to go with the pants.

Just Need To Decorate






Well I just crocheted another pair of pants for my daughter raquel...this will be her second pair. I decided that instead of going out and buying her some more pants it would just be cheaper and a lot cuter for me to crochet her some. They ended up fitting her just perfect and I gave her enuff room to grow in them...I think they are just adorable. I didnt write a pattern for these because like the last pair i just freestyled them. The pictures above are of her wearing them. I just have to decorate them with some cute flowers which by the way i will be posting pictures of them completely finished and i have to create a matching top. Im not sure if i will use an existing pattern or create my own. who knows.

Not Working On anything

well i bought a sewing machine from salvation army!!! which by the way was only $10!!! ya and it was a sears kenmore brand. its an old version but it works perfect. i started making things for my daughters room already!!! i mad her a canopy for her crib and made her a whole new cribset...care bear of course...it used to be winnie the pooh but i didnt want it that anymore. so yea and ive started up school again so unfortunately that means not enough time for crocheting at the moment. im so upset because i love to crochet but oh well...i will find time for it...i was just updating my blog since i havent been on in a while...my step mother in law wanted me to make my cousin n law a crocheted winter coat...so thats one of my WIP and im also going to start making clothing for my daughter also...because it will start to get cold very soon and she needs pants and shirts...nice to be able to make her things...the only problem is it takes forever and a day to complete them. im just so busy lately...with school and all and studying and taking care of raquel i just dont have time for fun anymore...well i will go finish studying...ttyl

Some of My Past Projects...

You can click on the photos on my page to make them larger so u can see them in detail. Feel free to comment on my entries...i love responses and reactions.
This is a Layette I crocheted for my daughter also. She can still fit it and i will get a picture of her wearing it whenever she wants to cooperate with me lol.
This is a dress i started for my daughter also and never finished it. lol. i probably should get back on it.

This is a starghan i started for my daughter when she was first born as well and as u can see i didnt get very far on this one either. I guess u can say i wasnt very motivated.
This is the first blanket i ever crocheted for my daughter. It was made with a lot of love and very girly. Its funny how this blanket came about actually. I was looking at a pattern for another blanket and messed up the pattern. So i kinda edited it myself and made it into my own shells blanket. I used Caron simply soft yarns; pink, cream, and purple. That brand is actually my favorite brand to use. It is so soft and very cheap. Well anyway, this is how it came out and my daughter loves it.
this is the shells blanket again, a close up of the detailed shells. the blanket is actually folded this time.



These are pictures of a baby pinafore i crocheted off a pattern i created on my own. i will later post the pattern for those who would like to use it. To make the dress prettier i sewed some ruffled edging on the bottom of the dress and i also weaved some ribbon through the bottom above the yellow stripe and tied it in a bow. i sewed buttons on the back. I think it is just lovely and this is one of my greatest creations yet. I am working on a headband to match the pinafore.


This is the first outfit I made for my daughter before she was born. She got to wear it once before she grew out of it. I thought it was so cute.
