International Yarn Bombing Day

Tomorrow is International Yarn Bombing Day! We are going to be yarn bombing downtown, pretty excited. Over the past few weeks a few friends & I have been busy crocheting flowers & vines to place around in our city.

While making flowers, I have stumbled upon (with stumbledupon.com even lol) a few blogs that I now follow with some of the cutest flowers ever. The one girl also had a headband which is super easy & took me less than an hour do to both the headband & flower. I will post these in a blog after this weekend.

If you would like to follow what we do with our yarn bombing tomorrow, check out our Facebook! Find us at Black Hills Yarnaholics Anonymous. Here's to hoping that link works, otherwise you will have to do a search. We haven't gotten our username yet but hopefully soon FB will let us do that!

Wool Cover

The last wool cover I was doing, with the cro hook ended up being a flop! I did about 10 rows or more and it was still pretty thin and I didn't have much left of the one color. Instead, I made a brown & white cover, stripes! I am excited to use it, but it is HUGE! It will work though, and it will last longer than the other 2 I've made. Somehow, they ended up getting too small (one was right away I guess). I love wool covers for his diapers! I wish I would use them way more, but I don't. Mostly because right now he only has the 2 I bought from a friend, and the one I just finished, but have to lanolize still.

I will have to add some pictures of it soon. Should take the pictures soon too! Thanks for reading my random blog!

What I'm working on!

I am working on a new wool cover! I am excited about it, and hope it turns out great. I am not using any pattern either - just making it up as I go. If it turns out, I will share it with you! Why is it so neat? Well, I am using a cro hook to do it! Hopefully I can get it done fast, but I only have a row and a half done.

The other thing I am working on with a few friends is stuff for Yarn Bombing Day! June 11th! I can't wait! There will be pictures to follow after we are done.

Ok, off to bed I go! I will get some pictures of up the process of my wool cover. I am really excited about it.

ERGOBaby Carrier Giveaway

Seems like...

I've been posting a lot of giveaways I've come across. Sorry! I am all about trying new things that I don't have to pay for =) I did just recently win a diaper from The GreenChild Creations, and I can't wait to get it and try it on my son! But, here is another - for super cute organic clothing! I am in LOVE with what they have for sale! Go check them out.

Here is a link to the giveaway. It is put on by EcoBabyBuys.com  I love their site too, finding baby stuff at a great discount.

That is all! Have a great night & week

What's new?!

Well, first off, I know I have posted a couple giveaways. I am in need of more cloth diapers, and why not see if I can win them, right?! Hopefully we will win one, that would be super awesome. Second - I've gotten a few things made lately. For Easter, I made a few crochet eggs, and a little egg topper thing. I wanted to get more done, but I didn't. I'll probably make a few this summer for next year, along with the little topper things. The night before Easter I decided to make a bunny hat. I couldn't find one (that was free anyway) that I loved so I took 2 different patterns, and did my own! The hat is one I've made a few times. It is a monkey hat, so I just did it and then took the bunny ears off another hat & sort of changed it. Instead of doing single crochets, I did half double crochets but followed what it said for increasing and decreasing. I'll be the first to admit, I could have done better. But, its what I get for decided to do it the night before!

I also just finished a viking helmet (or helm whichever is the correct term!) It says 12-18 months, but it just is snug on my 9 month old, so it looks like I'll be making another! Which is ok, I may try and sell this one online. By making this one, I learned the pineapple stitch! It looks super cool, and I think I'll have to make these for the whole family =)

Other than that, I've been sewing a few things. I've been working on a diaper since I finally found diaper PUL in town. I've also started some mama cloth. I just get so sidetracked that I have too many things started and never get finished. I should be doing them now that my son is sleeping.....oops! I also am working on a super cute gift. I won't say what it is, or who it is for, but I can't wait to be done with it. It is that stinkin cute!

Alright off to do some things to cross off my list. I know I just wanted to write a quick note =) Happy Mother's Day to all you mommies out there =)
