Crochet Baby Boy Booties

Hello,

I am so exciting to share today post.  They are crochet baby boy booties.  I saw them all over the web but I didn't see the one that I like.  Well, let me rephrase,  I saw a lot of baby booties that I like but I had to pay for the pattern.  I am not good with reading the patterns so that was out.  The other day I stumbled upon one tutorial on youtube and just love her baby boot and her tutorial  was clear and easy to follow.  The best part it was free.

 

For these booties I stopped at the ankle.  I also changed the toes stitches.  See the above blue boots, the toes area is pretty puffy  and the rest of the booties the toes area are not so puffy.  I did double crochet cluster instead of  double crochet together.  For those who don't crochet this doesn't making any sense.

Aren't they cute! They are so fast to make, I think.  I made one pair in about an hour. I think that was considered fast.  Won't you?


Have a wonderful weekend!

Hot Pink Crochet Flowers Altered Picture Frame

Hello,

I wanted to try to use the crochet flowers to decorate the picture frame to see how it would turn out.  I used gray paper on the frame so for this particular frame it was hard to coordinate with other color.  I had tried several different colors only this hot pink one really stand out.

 For these 3 roses the inspiration was from here.  I did my petals different from her tutorial.  I like my flower petals round and fully looking so I added at least 2 more double crochet stitches to each petal.  The pearl swirl was from Want2Scrap.  I bought it at the convention 3 years ago.

 Crochet leaves tutorial here.

Tutorial for this rose is here. However, I added a few extra double crochet (dc) stitches to each petal and added even more dc stitched to the last round.

Have a wonderful day!

White Tea Light

Hello,

I've decorated many tea lights before but I've never try them in white.  This time I thought I'll give them a try and I love it!  Now I need to fine someone who love them enough to buy them. lol

I like the first one better.  I think the pointy label made it prettier.

Thanks for cheeking in.  I truly appreciated it.

Symthpay Card

Hello,

I made this card for my good friend.  Her dad just passed away recently.  I  met the deceased a few times.  Therefore, it was hard to make this card even though  it was a quick card.

The embossing folder was from Ac Moore by Darice.

Lots Of Beaded Flowers

Hello,

I tried the beaded flowers before but I couldn't do it.  My fingers couldn't handle the wire or may be because I didn't use the right tool and the right technique.  After I saw Dr. Sonia bead flowers, I wanted  to give it another try.,  I found a few tutorials.

And this is what I was  doing all day yesterday with my 5 years old helper. She always wanted to help so this time I thought she can actually help and she did.  I had her put the 6 white beads in the wire and I would finish the flower and together we made all these.

 

  I tried these with the color beads on the outside.  I thought they didn't come out as nice as the white beads on the outside.  So I went back and made more like the above flowers.  I also made all white bead flowers. We made at least 100 flowers yesterday.

Then my daughter wanted to make the bead flower all by herself.  I showed her how to and these are her flowers made all by herself. After I took the picture of her flower, she made a lots more. She said that she couldn't help it; it was so much fun. 

Thanks for checking in.
