And now for something completely different...

Ok so I'm going to do this blog a little differently. I am still out of work and trying to quit smoking(the husband and I want kids....) So I have taken to crocheting and crafting/sewing to keep me sane. I have known how to crochet for a quite a few years and have made lots of stuff. I have seen blogs with cool things on them and would like to get some of the patterns I have out there for everyone to use. I also just found Pinterest and LOVE IT!!!!! I never knew there was such a great place to find EVERYTHING...

   Ok, So I have just finished a poncho and hat for my step-daughter who is 2(almost 3). She will be further referred to as "The Monkey". The Monkey loved the poncho and hat so much she would not take them off.

The Pattern for the poncho is the Martha Stewart coming home poncho. I Have made this pattern(and are currently making one for my self) several times. Please note, the edging instructions are slightly flawed so follow the diagram.... The "Jayde's hat, I found at vallieskids. This is an excellent blog!!! I have to give credit where it is due and the hat pattern is hers...

Well that's that for today. I'm making a pair of slippers next and hope they work out....   Until next time hooking is better than smoking!!!
