Joe has names pick out for future baby and I am liking it.  Also, the website is coming together. I am just ironing out a couple things hopefully we could go live in a couple of months.

good and bad news

Bad NEWS: So couple of weeks ago, I weigh myself and I have gain 3 pounds and I was hurt. So I came up with a plan to get the weight down. I havent weight myself since then, but I know I have lost those three pounds. I am still working on my weight if you look at me you think I am thin (for the most part I am) but when I gain weight my back and knee hurt like Hell. I think God gave my body a weight control device..pain. any who

Good News: I finally made it to the doctor (b/c DMV) and he told me that my irregular heart beat has gone. :) I was shocked and excited. He said dont consume caffeine, alcohol, or chocolate which I am fine with b/c its be long time to since I had those things.


Life is good...

How to make the dumbbells:

I use this pattern to make the "weights"

then for the bar.
ch2 in the 2nd stitch from the hook  10dc
dont not join,  use a marker
sc until desire length

stuff with stuffing,

to close is the tough part: dec with dc in all.  this is one row. you might need another hook to help. if it to difficult you can just dec until there are only two stitch left and combine them.  hopefully this make sense, if you have questions just make an comment.

Not the way I planned

So sometimes in life you jump and things just dont turn out the way you thought....that happen to my last crocheting project

Frist find a doily, or crochet one

Cover a bowl with pastic

Next in a pot combine 3 part water and 1/2 part of cornstarch .(I didn't do that..here is the mistake....it should be reallllllllly water down..not so thick) cook until cornstarch is dissolve 

Dip crochet piece in the pot

then cover it over your bowl

You might need a bowl water because it does get sticky 

Let dry over night or until completely dry.

Peel off crochet piece then you have a beautiful crochet bowl :)

You can see the white stuff b/c I mistake up but it all good

Someone told me to that I have 4 options when I make an mistake 

1. Complaint about it

2. Cry about

3. Do something about it

4. Do nothing

I decide to do nothing and it bring character to my decor in my house...

Love Tasha

New Job!!!

So a couple of week I got laid off from my teaching job...budget cuts...so I was lost on what to do..without thinking I started crocheting and came up with  new patterns.

 I am so excited to show the world. Right now I only have pictures of one item...here is the close up 

Its a baby sweater that is crocheted in two piece instead of sleeve, front, and back sew together...the reason why I came up with this pattern is because I hate sewing in the ends and I wanted something fast to do for babies instead of booties. I am so excited to show more, but I am waiting to find a cute baby to model it...

Life is great I am learning alot about what I want to do with my life..

Love

Tasha

So couple of years ago I made this crochet hook case.
Pictures on this link:  http://crazinesscrochettingandknitting.blogspot.com/2009/08/going-green-and-crochet-prefect-fit.html

I loved it and was proud of myself but now its a little outdated. so i made another.

Its made out of felt. I love it. plus it hold all my needles and I have room to add more. I love the cover and the colors. This is not my best sewing job but it add personality to it. Because in reality we are all not perfect...:)
