Three of my favorite hobbies are writing, reading and crocheting. Over the last few months, I have been doing a lot of crocheting and less of the other two. I just want to share a few of the things I have crocheted. It is a great hobby, it keeps me busy, relaxed and happy. Some people have suggested I start making money for it but I believe that once you start making money for something, it becomes a job and we all know how we feel about our jobs. I do suggest however that if anyone wants anything made for them, they should just buy the yarn and any special things that has to be included and I will make it for them.

I made this for me cousin on her birthday, her two favorite colors are green and yellow so I added the black to neutralize the colors.

2.

 

I made this for a friend’s daughter in January, she loved it. It is a slouchy beanie.

3.

This is the first infinity scarf I made, I should have probably made more rounds because this came out a little thinner than I wanted.

4.

I made this blanket for my mom for mothers’ day. What you see is actually half the real size. She absolutely loves it.

5.

My cousin’s baby arrived 3 days ago. I made a baby blanket, beanie and headband for the baby, I will start making a dress next week for her.

6.

I finished this in less that 6 hours. I found this pattern for a tube dress and I knew I had to make it. It turned out great and everyone says it is cute. I really like it too.

7.

I made this purse for one of my friends whose boyfriend is in the army. My finishing was not the best but it turned out better than I expected! I think she likes it.

So those are a few things I have made and I will keep making them. My next project will most likely be a backpack. I want to make something for my boyfriend but it’s is honestly hard to crochet for guys. Maybe a blanket, who knows?

Side note: I have started reading a book called ‘In Polyester Pajamas’, it is a great book about changing our attitudes towards events in our lives and how to see the good in any and everything.
