Pretty Pink Panda

Aren't weekends the best!?!?!

 I just love them!

I've been watching more Weeds today and enjoyed some shopping with my family! 

Not much to post about. I've been working on some projects but I'm not ready to share them yet. Here are some pictures that I wanted to share!

Pretty Pink Panda makes her debut!!

 

 My pretty pink panda I crocheted. No pattern, I just went for it. That's what I love about crocheting. I love being able to pick up yarn and a crochet hook and create whatever comes to my mind! What do you think?

  

 She's fun! Do you think she needs a bow? Bow or no bow?

  

 We got our first edition of Food Network Magazine in the mail!! How awesome! I already want to try all the things I saw in there! AND NOW I want a new, bigger kitchen!

  

 My boys snoozing away on the couch. Paco is so funny!

  

 A little sneak peek into some crafts I've been working on. Just a peek! Crocheted flowers are fun!!

  

 I have some lovely plans for this fabric, and some others that I purchased last week.

 

Rainbow Brite!! I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE her! I was her for Halloween a few years ago (homemade costume of course, since all the store bought ones were pretty slutty). I found her at Target! Is she making a comeback?! I might have to go back and buy her!

 

Also at Target, I found a Create a Hello Kitty! Reminded me of Carrie since I know she loves Hello Kitty!

This girlie loves to read! This is her last night as we were getting ready for bed (notice the cute panda pajamas!! LOVE them!) She is reading the Bedtime Princess hehe!

That's all for now. I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!!

One Crafty Little Cupcake!

It seems that every free second that I've had today I've spent doing this...

CROCHETING!!

I snagged this picture from my  Project 365 blog. If you haven't heard of Project 365, it's really a cool concept. You are suppose to take a photo a day for a year. I heard about this at the beginning of last year and I decided that this year I would take it on.

Why? 

For a couple of reasons:

1. I love photography!

2. Although I love it, sometimes I don't seem to find the time to take pictures when I know I want to.

3. I thought it would be a great way to chronicle my year.

4. If you do something for a year you're bound to get better at it, right?

5. I thought it would be a good goal, and something I thought might be easy, one picture a day, that's all it asks for, sounds easy enough, right??!

So, I created a seperate blog to post all my pictures. I wanted them all together so it was easy to look at them instead of scattered throughout this blog. Check it out here if you would like to follow me on my journey through the year in pictures!

Enough about my Project 365, what I really wanted to blog about was my SUPER cute cupcake that I made today!!

I would like to thank Allison, Sarah, Rich, and Kristy for inspiring me to make this! In my post called Amigurumi needs a little guidance, they all suggested that I made a cupcake! I'll admit I LOVE THEM! So thank you guys for being such great friends and this little cupcake is for y'all!

 

I have to say this was my first creating something other than a scarf or plain and simple blanket using crochet. I think it turned out cute, even the little cherry on top that gave me a little trouble at one point. Tell me what you think!

Now, I'm excited to make more and more cute stuff! :)

Amigurumi: Needs a little guidance!!

 I have been crocheting more and more these days, you probably saw my little crocheted hearts in my last post. I discovered Amigurumi a few months ago and I think it is soooo cute! I would love to try my hand at it and see how I do. Only problem? I can't seem to decide what to try to make first!! I've seen so many cute things and I can't pick, I want to make them all!

Here is where I need your help! All I need you to do is post a comment and tell me what animal you think would be cute. I think this may help me narrow down the field. My goal will be to eventually make all the animals that everyone has suggested.

So, what would you like to see me make??

Here is are some cute pictures for inspiration! Maybe you'll see why I have a hard time choosing just one to start with!

Don't forget to comment. It's really important to me! I feel like my brain is so all over-the-place lately that I can't seem to focus on one thing!
