hi

im not doing alot i posted alot to my blog but will only one picture here.

this is a sachet i made as a crochet along. its from a book called pudgy autumn characters. it was so fast and easy to make. great for a craft fair. hint hint hint

I just checked and my heart is still beating!!! :) But I haven't been doing a lot of crochet these days. I'm stuck on the spidey afghan! I don't understand how I'm suppose to make the webbing?! When I read the pattern it says that I'm suppose to crochet backward! I really don't know how to do that. I will try something else, don't know yet, if any of you "chicks" know a simple way to make the webbing please let me know.

On another subject, I did a bit of sewing, if for a swap on craftster, you can see it on my blog just click on my name above :) It's a simple and fun mini tote. I just love making it, and may start making more to sell on the web. I made one for my sister with an old Charlie Brown bed sheet and an old curtain...I don't like to waste material. I'm one of those people who "REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE". Imagine we (the world) use to throw old curtains, bed sheets, etc. in the garbage!!! Now I think twice before throwing anything away. If I don't reuse it I give it to good will! I have a few t-shirt my teenage step-daughter gave me to recon for my wee daughter, I'm just waiting for inspiration or a simple easy way to recon them..any suggestions??

OK, that's it for me (for now :O)). How are the rest of you "chicks" doing?

Calling All Crochet Chicks

Just checking in haven't seen a lot of our Crochet Chicks posting lately so Calling All Crochet Chicks if you is out there :)

How is everyone doing?

Any new projects lately?

New Purse:)Black with fun fur yarn

I love it. Love this purse. I am always crocheting other people purses and backpacks that I never really get to crochet me one so here goes my new purse love it.:)



Front
Has a crochet pocket with fun fur crocheted around it. I use the fun fur around the base of the purse also. There is 2 silver handles that I crochet around so it can be easy to carry it mainly a little more of comfront to the handles. :)


Back


Inside with all my things.
Inside there is 4 pockets. I used the fun fur yarn to do crochet edging around the pocket I thought it would give it a bit of a big pop to it so it wont be all just black.

my first post here

this is my first time posting on here since i joined so i figured i would post something good. i just finished this up today. its for Christmas of course and i was thinking it would be alot bigger then it is. its only 7 inches from the bottom point to the top point. and it should be a doily but i think its to small to be one. but that's OK cause its not for me wither. oh and it was also my first time doing the symbols. ya know what i mean. like they have in the magic crochet magazines. i wonder if that what its actually called?? oh well i am very proud of it. and i think who ever gets it (or the other one awaiting the flower) will be happy to get it.

I am taking a break from my halloween crocdhet because I decided to start putting my granny squares together from all the swaps I have been in, I didn't realize I had so many piling up. This is some of them. I am putting the squares together by pattern..............all the patterned ones together, and then all the granny squares together. I am not sure how they will come out, but my hands are so cramped from putting them together. I sorted them all yesterday by patter and traditional squares, then by color, then by size. Then laid them all out and decided how I would put them together. I had to use some colors that I didn't really want to, but I wanted to get them all used up...............then I will be set, no more squares piled up all over, and I can start collecting new ones, but this time, I think I will ask for specific colors hopefully, and that way when it comes time to put them together, I won't have to use squares that really don't match. Anyway I am using all the squares I had from exchanges, I all in all I think I had over 100 squares. The red, white and blue squares will be made another time, as I only have a few of those.
I crochet mine together using a front ridge, I like how the ridge comes out............I am using white yarn, as I could not really find a color that would look best with all of the colors from the squares.
