Crochet the Weekend Away: Linking party # 3!

Happy Friday! 

This has been a very busy week for us and all the time I would normal reserve for crocheting has gone to car hunting! Our beloved Volvo is no longer road worthy, so we must bite the bullet and get a new one. Not happy!

I don't foresee much crocheting happening this weekend either, but I really need to see your beautiful creations to keep me from getting bogged down with car hunting! 

Here are some simple guidelines:

1. Only post CROCHET projects you've been working on this weekend...they can be a works in progress!
2. Become a fan of my Blog!
3. Grab the "Crochet the Weekend Away" button provided below and add it to your blog!
4. Please add posts from your blog only, not shops!
5. Be sure to check out other peoples blogs, comment on their projects, and
follow their blogs...we all love having our blogs worshiped!

This party will open on Friday and close Monday.

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Crocheting!

Kid's Hats!

I didn't get as much crocheting done as I had hoped this weekend but I did manage to make a few hats for the craft sale.

Check them out!
 There's an owl, a monster, a spiky one, and a pig! I think I like the pig the best. I've already started making a cow one too!
Also, Kade made a new friend he wanted me to share! He found this little sheep and named it "wool". He isn't very creative when it comes to naming his toys...but she is very cute! 

Hope you weekend was full of crocheting fun!

Tissue Box Covers!





I spent Friday night and Saturday morning wiping up these tissue box covers for the craft sale I'm doing in November. My mom loves them, what do you think?

They are super fun and easy to make....if your looking to make one yourself, I would suggest this pattern (you will need to have Ravelry to see it). 

Hope your weekend crocheting is treating you well!

What is coming up in my world....

Howdy!

Sorry it's been such a long time since I posted! I'm really mad at myself for not taking pictures of the stuff I'm working on and posting them. I've been really busy working, and parenting, and crafting that blogging has taken the back burner and I do apologize!

There are a couple of things I have been working on and I'm really excited to share them! The first is my very own Linking Party! I was hoping to get it up and going last weekend but was busy painting the stairwell and didn't get to it. So you can expect it this weekend for sure! I'm calling it Crochet The Weekend Away, it will go up on Friday and be open until Monday. I always get most of my crocheting done on the weekend and I'm sure there are lots of other like me, so this will be a place to show off your weekends work and get excited about the next weekend to come! I really hope you will join me this weekend and post your work!

Here is a sneak peak at the button I made for the Linking Party....what do you think?
It can be found in the button page above!



The other thing I've been working on is making crafts to sell at a local Christmas Craft Sale! It is being held by the local museum and it is going to be super fun! I've been making garlands, mason jar covers for tea light holders, hats, cowls and right now, I'm in the mist of making a bunch of SANTA HATS! They are wonderfully cute and fast and easy to make and I think everyone is going to love them! I'm working from a pattern I made up last year while making santa hats for my friends sons and will post the pattern and some pictures ASAP!

Have you ever done a craft show before? I'm a little nervous! I've never done anything like this before and I'm scared I'm not going to have enough stuff or too much and I have NO idea how to price the things I'm making. I'm really just doing it because it will be fun but if you have any advice for me, I would love to hear it!

If you live in the Alliston area or are coming to it for some random reason on November 12th and 13th, stop by the Museum on the Boyne an check out the sale! It is FREE and promises to be a good time!

That's all for now....I will be back soon with the linking party and the santa hat pattern!

Montessori Moment!

As some of you may already know, my son goes to Montessori school, my husband went to Montessori school and my mother in law started her own Montessori school in the 80's and was the principle there for over 25 years.

I did not know anything about Montessori school's 6 years ago and now I'm wading my way through Montessori parenting. I still know very little about Montessori education but I think others would be interested in find out the new things I'm learning.

Here is the first of I hope many randomly posted links to Montessori information! I promise this will not take over the crocheting blog but hopefully help others to see the value in the many different kids of learning out there.

Enjoy!
