When individual fibers are crocheted together with a thread of emotion, they become an original, personal design. This creative process is my joyful obsession

Wow! I've been gone too long!

Wow!  I didn't realize that it had been so long since I had updated my blog!  I apologize!  I have been busy, I completed my spring cleaning, (other than the basement.... and nothing can be done there until I get the craft building completed).  I may need a backhoe or a small bobcat to complete that task.  Yes, I am a hoarder.  I have more craft items than Walmart!

I received a pretty long and detailed list from my grandson Austin.  He told his Mommy that he wanted a Blue Beetle Hat, a Plastic Man hat, a Buzz Lightyear Hat, a Tolee Hat and a HoHo hat.  And, she needed to text me right then and tell me!  Bless his heart, but this old MeeMaw had no idea other than Buzz what he was talking about.  LOL!!  So I made him a Buzz Lightyear hat!  Here it is:
I really think he liked it.  He wore it all day on Sunday.  He looked so stinkin' cute in it.  I didn't get a pic of him in it though.  We had a house full that day, and it was rather hectic!  His Mommy, is supposed to get one of him in it and send it to me.  I will post it when I receive it.

Buzz sells for $18, and is available in sizes newborn through adult!

I also completed a Minnie Mouse Diaper Cover Set.  I love this little outfit.  It has a full skirt with polka dots, and a tail!  The hat has a detachable red and white polka dot bow.  I think this outfit would also look awesome in pink.  A Mickey Mouse set is in the wings, just waiting to be created... so stay tuned.  Here's Minnie:
The little tail just cracks me up!  This set sells for $25, and is available in sizes newborn through 18 months.  I could probably do larger, but will need the exact measurements for a larger size.  I'm thinking this would make an awesome Halloween costume.  With some white tights and black Mary Janes.  I am also offering this set with a pair of crocheted Mary Janes (pic will follow in later post)  for $31.

Another set I completed is the Oatmeal Parfait Unisex set.  This set is so cute.  The hat is a "Newsboy" hat, and you can have your choice of either a large gerber daisy or a button attached to the hat.  Here it is:
And here it is the hat up close:

and the hat with a button:
The diaper cover up close looks like this:

I have another set almost completed, and will get pics of it posted soon!

I've really been struggling with some things lately.  I ordered some supplies to try the tutu dresses back on February 25th. The order totaled about $18, and priority shipping was $16!  So I went with standard USPS, well to this date I HAVE NOT received this order.  I have contacted the company, (bandandbowdepot.com) only to have them tell me in a nutshell there was nothing that they could do because I was too cheap to pay for priority shipping with a tracking number.  WTH????  I will never purchase anything from them again.  I am trying to get the word out via www for everyone to help me boycot this company.   I'm so irritated, because I want to do the tutu dresses so bad!   Guess I'm going to have to order via another company.

Well, that's all for today!  I have to get ready for a dr's appt, and then home to crochet some more!
