OK one more thing! Puff stitch scarf!

Ok so I saw this post a few weeks ago and had to make this scarf... This gal is so talented. Check out her photo shoot with her puff stitch hat. You will be crocheting one up for yourself.
I just adore it and puff stitches are addicting.

It took almost 3 skeins of simply soft
150 rows
94 inches long
1800 puff stitches.


My Pammy Sue Model just loves all these hats and scarves!

Finishing up!




Just finishing up this morning. You almost done? I blocked these gorgeous squares for my Daughter in law. She is simply amazing. She is what I would call a natural knitter. It comes to her so easily and she can whip up a pattern right out of her head. She manages a household, works full time and is a mom also. I dont know how she ever finds time to knit. I am so lucky to have her in my life as my daughter in law and my friend. I am so proud of her and my son both.
Just waiting for them to arrive this morning. So excited to have children here at Christmas because that is what it is all about. We are so very blessed this year.
I am just about complete with Christmas crocheting. I have a few orders to finish up but they know it will not be by Christmas. I have had a few order from our Etsy shop but I can tell you Facebook set me on fire. I had so many orders from facebook and saved the overhead! People who saw pictures of what I made would facebook me and say can I get one, and away it went. Crazy because I actually hate facebook. I would not even be on it if it was not a way to see my grandchildren and daughter chelsea and all my neices and nephews. I have no interest in it otherwise but it has proven to be a great business tool. I propably will not be online for the next week the kids will be here and I will be enjoying them. I hope all of my blogger friends have a safe and Happy Holiday...Much Love Neicee

Got the blues pics 2

Thought I would snap a couple pics to see it actually on a person.
Wish it was colder. I would look the fool wearing tonight its just so hot. Ugg
Maybe New Years?

I got the blues Christmas cowl

Love this cowl..The pictures do not do it justice. I was planning on wearing this to my Christmas party. Its 80 degrees. I dont think I will.
I got this shoes. Dont mind the tag. They match perfectly. I decided on a brown sweater, but I also have blue. Maybe If I try it on I will take more pictures. Pattern is HERE
Great pattern fun to do just be patient with the first few rows. Bernat mosiac is a great yarn but it pulls apart real easy. Like soft cotton.

Yes another post! Hallmark channel movie...

Ok so all I did today was sit on my butt watching Hallmark channel and knitting and crocheting. I have total burn out. But I saw this girl in a movie called....A princess for Christmas. Her Name is Katie McGrath..She is a beauty! She has an amazing smile and was wearing this hat! I was like ooooooo I love it and one second on Ravelry... and there it was! I luv Ravelry!

Hat on Ravelry HERE ITS THE SAME! SO EXCITED!

Two more off the list!

Rachel hat from Ravelry!
Sorry about the dark pictures its raining today!

Denim blue cowl

I am just swamped. Hopefully I can get all a need to get done this weekend! Wish me luck.
Here I am again modeling a blue cowl. Special order. I dont know about you but I am about sick of seeing my face on this blog. Soon very soon I will have a model a young beautiful girl that will be a refreshing change. My daughter in law and son will be moving over here so I will get to see them and my grandchildren all the time. (and she can model)
Interesting side note. I dug my LA Gear Jacket from the 90's out of my closet to model this cowl..It has HUGE shoulder pads in it and its cropped. I used to think I was soo cool in it. Now I look kind of foolish.

Busy! Busy!

Working away on Christmas items and special orders...Some I obviously cannot show. Also working on some charity items for a reservation in South Dakota. Both of these hats are special order for someone. The patterns were purchased thru Ravelry. They were both full of errors and not tested. I purchased thru Ravelry/Etsy to support new designers. Both of these patterns I had to figure out on my own, sad when I paid for them.
Mittens are for charity. They are my moms pattern. She used to make these mittens for us a children. I remember thinking how neat her crocheting was and try to copy her...Hours trying.
There is one just like it for free on Ravelry.

 Still sewing and creating.   This wall hanging/quilt was made at the recent quilt show in Lakeland Florida.  My mom and I attended and took...
