My New Project

So I had a semi good day today. I went to the doctors for my anual papsmear and then went grocery shopping and then I came home. I cooked dinner!!! yay go me lol. but i cooked spaghetti and meatballs. It was awesome so hopefully the hubby likes it as well. I also started my project for my bathroom assessories. I started to crochet the toilet top cover first. Below are pictures of it.

This is the picture of it matching with my shower curtain. I went on ahead and kept the teal color because the green just didnt go right.

Here is a close up of the cover itself. Not to much going on with the colors but still very cute. I love the way it came out and it only took me a couple of hours to make.

Here is another shot of the toilet and the cover and the basket of bath and body stuff sitting on top of it. Doesnt it just make the toilet look so much better? Its not so plain looking.

Well Im off to start something else....maybe the cup covers??? or tissue holder?? idk we'll see what i decide to come up with next....oh wow my daughter just spilled red hawaiian punch all over the carpet!!! yay more mess for me to clean up. brb.....

Ok im back now cleaned up the mess with no stain yay im good but anyway im about to go eat some cheesecake that i made with some milk and im gonna go smoke a cigarette and get back to crocheting!!! wtyl (just made that up cuz im not actually talking im writing so i put w for write instead of t for talk lol).

My New WIPS

So as i mentioned below i had to choose some yarn for the bathroom set i am going to crochet and these are the colors i found that would match the rugs and the shower curtain. I got some burgandy and cream colored yarn and a teal type of color. However i dont really think the teal is going to go to well so i might change the teal to a green like a lime green or so. I will keep it posted on how things are going but as for right now i am going to watch the movie Quarentine seeming how i love to watch movies and crochet. Especially horror films. So whatever i get done with tonight i will surely post. Oh and by the way raquel is wide awake so she is going to be keeping me company for the night until i get tired and call it a night. Well wish me luck. by for now.

So like i just mentioned below im adding crocheted complimentaries to my bathroom. This is my bathroom mat. I dnt really like it cuz its kinda dingy from years of use but i had to find colors of yarn that would compliment the mat and the shower curtain and i looked in my yarn stash and found some perfect colors.

Ok so this is the color of my bathroom shower curtain. Its like a burgandy color. I kinda like although im more of the bright colors type of gal. But anyway one of my WIPs is a new complimentary bath set. Im talking like toilet seat cover, toilet tissue holders, toothbrush and rinse cup covers, and a few towels and covers for the counters and maybe a few bags to hold things in. Sounds like a plan?

My Hiddeous Babette

So this is what I meant by my blanket didnt turn out right...as u can see things didnt match up correctly and for some odd reason the middle of my squares looked like they were circles. idk but i hated the way it started to turn out so im starting over. and im not making a babette anymore im just going to make one entirely large granny square. oh and im also working on another few projects for around my home.

No More Babette...Im Pissed

Ok so last time I wrote which was like yesterday or the day before...i dont remember but any who i had started on that Babette blanket. And for some odd reason or another the blanket didnt turn out the way it was supposed to. Well the little section that I did. When I sewed the pieces together they didnt fit together right and I have absolutely no idea why and I was really pissed lol. But whatever so now i dnt know what im going to start making and i was thinking about another blanket just not a babette but shit idk. And then I also wanted some crochet Items for my kitchen and bathroom as well so idk how thats going to turn out.

I was also very mad today because i called my school to see if my financial aid was showing up in the bookstore computer and for some reason it isnt so i cant get my books or school supplies. wut a bumber. so i guess i just have to keep trying and hope it shows up before school starts. Hopefully we dont have another one of last semesters again where absolutely NOBODY had books or their financial aid wasnt showing up!!! so yea. I have 2 books already for previous classes that im taking again this semester so i guess i could get started on reading those now but i am such a procrastinator i just dont wanna do work right now. all i want to do is crochet hahahahha. i know its funny but thats what happens when u live by crochet lol. i cant wait for my daughter to get older cuz as soon as i see she can learn to do it im going to teach her. and then i will have a little crocheting partner. im also going to try and teach my friend ashley how to crochet so she can crochet with me also u kno... well raquel is crying right about now so im going to get her settled and then come back and post some more of whats on my mind and ideas i have in store. ttyl.

Back At It Again....Started On My Babette!!!

These are pics of some of the crocheted granny squares that i started on for the Babette blanket. I love how the colors go together so well and they are really bright.

I finally got past the stage of deciding wut colors i wanted to use. I added more colors than i originally planned to use. These are the colors i wanted to use.

The Babette Blanket Inspired Me

I kno its been a while since ive been on here. I was so busy with the finals at school and all the projects i had going on i totally forgot about my precious blog. but i promise i will be updating almost daily now.

So i was looking around on http://www.flickr.com/ for inspiration on some things i could crochet or different types of yarns or colors and i came across a blanket by the name of Babette. Here is a picture of the blanket that inspired me and convinced me to make one of my own the most:

I absolutely loved the colors of it although it was a tad bit to summery lol. But anyway so i started googling the Babette blanket and realized that it was an actual pattern posted in a crochet magazine. Now i dont really buy crochet books or magazines. I pretty much come up with my own patterns and make up my own things by getting inspiration off of others pictures. So little ol' me starts to think....hmmm all this blanket is is a bunch of granny squares. Why not make my own design and call it my own type of blanket? Sounds good dont it? So thats exactly what i decided to do.

Now what i failed to realize with starting this project is for one it would take a while to decide what colors i wanted to make the Babette. So i chose to use caron simply soft yarn and the colors bright green, bright purple, regular purple, light purple, hot pink, white, and blue.
