Made With Love #48

We had a lovely weekend and I hope you did too! Like I mentioned Friday, I have been re-teaching myself to crochet so I did lots of that this weekend! I made a bunch of Urban Turban Headbands and had every intention of hoarding them for my fall open house, but they were just too cute to not list in THE SHOP for you...so I did!

 

There are five colors to chose from. Just make sure to specify your color choice when you checkout. They are made to order so please allow a week or so for construction and shipping.

Also...I made this little cutie! What do you think???

 

 

I would love some feedback before I list them :)

{learning a new skill}

Hi friends! I am in the process of re-teaching myself to crochet. I was taught the  basics when I was 10, but never actually made anything. I see all kinds of pretty crocheted things on Pinterest and have been wanting to really learn.

Check out some of theses pretties I pinned this week!

To practice my new skill, I have been making some Urban Turban Headbands. It’s a great pattern. They are really simple and have been a great way for me to practice. Here is my first one. My very first completed crochet project EVER!!! It’s definitely not perfect, but I did it all by myself! I love crocheted accessories. They are so cozy and fall-y…to bad it’s been 100 degrees all week! Global climate change…ugh. 

  It’s been a pretty rough week in our house. The little man is really struggling. Anyhow, having some downtime to sit and crochet has been very therapeutic for me. So far, I have finished 3. The mustard one is the best. I had an “aha moment” about halfway through that one and it turned out really good!

And since I can’t not sew for more than a few days {craft ADD} I made a super cute Crochet Hook Clutch following THIS TUTORIAL. Love it. Something cute to hold all my essentials!

It lives in my yarn tub with all my pretty yarn.

In case you want to learn this wonderful skill too…go get this booklet from Michael’s. I got it a few years ago, but they still have it. 

The lessons are really easy to follow and it really did only take a day while the little man was at school! Don’t worry, I won’t be making an afghan or doll dress anytime soon! I’ll stick to the cute accessories thankyouverymuch.

Happy Friday everyone!

P.S...since the feedback on these was so great, I went ahead and listed them in THE SHOP. They are made to order so specify your color preference at checkout!
