Nov. 7, 2008 - I'm depressed....
And I hate being depressed. It makes me feel like a spoiled child that is pouting because she isn't getting her way. I mean really, doesn't that seem like what it is? I'm not talking about clinical, needing meds depression, just the normal run of the mill depression. For comparison, a pouting child will pout because they didn't get what they wanted. So they are irritable and silent with an unpleasant look on their face. Hmmm, sounds much like depression. A depressed person will be irritable, silent, weepy etc because life isn't working out like they want. In other words, because they didn't get what they wanted. So basically the same as pouting. The only cure for a child's pout is to be thankful for what they have and to not focus on what they can't have. It's the same cure for depression. Focus on your blessings and being thankful for them, and not how your life isn't matching your imaginary ideal.
So, you see I don't like to be depressed. And I want to stop it right now
So today with the Lord's help I will conquer this depression and spend the day rejoicing in my Lord! No more pouting for me

Nov. 5, 2008 - It's been a while...
I've been really busy lately. Busy trying to get my home in better order before baby comes. Busy making gifts, and baby things and things for my girls. Busy with school, and errands. You know, normal busy.
I have finally finished all of my crochet projects, except for legwarmers which I want to make my girls for this winter. So that is next and last on my list. I made 4 cardigan's for the girls to go with their Christmas skirts I'll be making. I won't be making them until after baby though, this huge belly is just making cutting anything out way too hard, lol. And yesterday I whipped up another little blanket for the carseat.
I discovered that blankets 28-20 inches square are the perfect size to tuck around a baby in a carseat, but they don't fall out and they don't drag all over the place. So I made a few of those. My girls are way excited about those because once baby grows out of them, they get them for their dolls.
My husband and I are pretty sure that this little darling will be our last baby. So, I am determined to enjoy every minute of her infancy. We have chosen a name, Grace Ariella. Actually, my husband picked it out and this is the only girl of ours that he has named. I think he made a good choice and I was completely stumped as to a name for her.
I can't believe that I only have 15 days until my due date. For me that will probably be longer because I have always gone past my due date. I'm curious about this baby though. This is the first baby that has measured right on as far as dates go during my ultrasounds. All my others always measured a week behind, so I'm curious to see if this baby comes out closer to her due date or if I'm still a week behind.
Honestly, I don't really want her to be born on Thanksgiving, but whatver the Lord wants.
Well, I have better get going. Today's list is just as long as every other day's list, lol.
Have a wonderful day!

Oct. 22, 2008 - The nesting has begun
Yesterday I spent hourse sorting the children's clothing and removing summer clothes etc. Then I reorganized the clothes room. Afterwards I spent the rest of the day having contractions. It was lovely, lol.
Today, I will be deep cleaning my kitchen. It will be so nice to remove some of the junk that has accumulated. And hopefully I won't let myself go down too many rabbit trails.
At some point this week I would like to get some sewing done. Hopefully, Friday and Saturday. I want to make several laundry bags to hang up.
Anyway, this is just a short post because I have lots to do today and need to get busy, lol.
Have a great day!

Oct. 20, 2008 - My latest baby afghan
Here is my latest baby afghan. I made it this weekend between chores.
I used this pattern: Bubble Baby Blanket
I used Red Heart Super Saver in a light pink (about 8.5 oz), light raspberry (about 3.5 oz), and pink cammo (about 2 oz). I adjusted the pattern by using only 1 strand of yarn and a K hook instead of the N and two strands the pattern calls for. To start I chained 92 instead of the 62 called for.
It is the perfect size for the carseat and is a really warm stitch.

Oct. 18, 2008 - I added PDF's to all my patterns
I have heard of a small percentage of people that have trouble viewing my blog. This from investigation appears to be an issue with the viewers browser settings. I can't help them fix that but I wanted them to still have access to a pattern that they may have come looking for.
So, this morning I converted each of my pattern entries into a pdf. That way all they have to do is download the pdf version and they can easily read the instructions for that pattern. They aren't the pretties or most professional looking pdf's as I just copied the posts and converted them, but they will work. I don't think any links inside them work though, so information to specific stitches will have to be searched out.
I hope that making these patterns available on pdf will help those that have trouble viewing my blog.

Oct. 16, 2008 - Ruffle sweater to match hat and booties....0-3 months
Well, the pattern matches, but I didn't have enough of the color yarn, so it's color block, lol. But you will get the idea. I did make one mistake and I sewed it with it buttoning on the wrong side as for a boy. Oh well, it works. I had it right and flipped it the wrong way at the last minute, lol.
Here is my daughter's dolly modeling the whole set:
It really looks better on in person that the photo shows.....hmmmm, it's a lot like me, lol!
And now here are the instructions: (PDF instructionshere)
Basically this is made by crocheting 5 rectangles and then sewing them together and then adding the ruffles. Very simple especially for the beginner, which I am still.
Items needed:
-1 skein of baby yarn (I used Bernat baby coordinates)
-G crochet hook
-measuring tape
-darning needle
-stitch markers
-buttons and thread
Skills used:
Okay, here we go. And these are very basic instructions. You will need to figure out gauge for your yarn and make your rectangles the appropriate size according to that.
BACK: Measures 11" wide by 7.5" long
1. Ch 48. Sc in second chain from hook and in each stitch across.
2-?. Ch 2, turn. Hdc in each stitch across. Repeat this row until piece is 7.5" long. Fasten off on last row.
Front Piece 1: Measures 6" wide by 7.5" long
1. Ch 27. Sc in second chain from hook and in each stitch across.
2-?. Ch 2, turn. Hdc in each stitch across. Repeat this row until piece is 7.5" long. Fasten off on last row.
Front Piece 2: Measures 6" wide by 7.5" long
1. Ch 27. Sc in sedond chain from hook and in each stitch across.
2. Ch 2, turn. Hdc in next sc, ch 1-skip next stitch-hdc in next stitch. Hdc across in remaining stitches.
3-8. Ch 2, turn. Hdc in each stitch across.
9. Ch 2, turn. Hdc in next 23 stitches, ch 1-skip next stitch-hdc in next 2 stitches.
10-15. Ch 2, turn. Hdc in each stitch across.
16. Repeat row 2.
17-22. Ch 2, turn. Hdc in each stitch across.
23. Repeat row 9.
24. Ch 2, turn. Hdc in each stitch across. Fasten off.
Sleeves (make 2): 7" wide by 5" long
1. Ch 29. Sc in second stitch and in each stitch across.
2-?. Ch 2, turn. Hdc in each stitch across. Continue repeating this row until piece measures 5" long. Fasten off on last row.
Now, all the pieces have been made and layed out it should look something like this (I have the two front pieces overlapping and pinned together with stitch markers:
Next we will sew up on the two light pink pieces 3.5" from the outside edge at the shoulder seams. Making sure to leave the opening between the two seams for the neck:
Next we will find the center of your arm pieces and align it up with your shoulder seam. Stitch centered arm piece onto main body like this:
Your piece should now be sewn up to look like this:
Okay, now we will fold the piece in half and sew up the arm and side seams, like this:
After side/arm seams are sewn up. Weave in all loose ends and if this is for a boy, you are finished. If it's for a girl add ruffles around the neck, the bottom and each sleeve by single crocheting around the edge and then doing this, adjusting instructions if you are crocheting back and forth as for the bottom or in the round as for the sleeve::
IN BACK LOOP ONLY of each stitch: Ch 2. Hdc in joining stitch and in each stitch around. Join.
Ch 2. Front-post hdc first stitch, Back-post hdc next stitch around. Join.
Ch 2. Front-post hdc first stich, Back-post hdc next stitch around. Join and fasten off.
Join yarn in Front loop on back of bootie with slip stitch. Sc in each stitch around. Join.
IN BACK LOOPS ONLY: sc, ch 2, sc in first stitch; sc in next stitch. Continue this pattern around. Join.
26. IN FRONT LOOPS ONLY: ch1. sc in first stitch, hdc, dc, hdc in next stitch. Continue this pattern around. Join and fasten off
And you are finished! Enjoy wrapping your baby in this soft and warm sweater that you made just for him or her!

Oct. 14, 2008 - How to make super cheap cloth pad (when you don't really sew)
Okay, here is today's idea. Cloth menstrual pads. I know many of you are getting sick right now, but for those of you that aren't getting sick and are interested here is my tip for getting a supply made inexpensively.
First, take you favorite disposable pad and lay it out flat onto a sheet of paper (you may need to extend the wings so they overlap, as some adhesive winged pads aren't long enough to overlap around panties). Trace around it and cut out your pattern. Then take some fleece fabric and cut out your pad shape. Next cut a horizontal strip on each end of the pad (the top and bottom), this will hold in you "pad". Next sew snaps on your wings. You can buy snaps to hand sew on at Walmart or any fabric store. Next, find yourself some washcloths, towels or flannel fabric and fold it to fit. Slip fabric under strips and you are good to go. When fabric is soiled just remove from holder and slip in fresh fabric.
Here is a pic of mine:
For my pad I have some ready made pads that slip right in. If you do sew you could make some of these really quickly by cutting out several layers and sewing around the edges.
Enjoy your fast and frugal new cloth pads!

Oct. 12, 2008 - I started designing a sweater to go with the hat and booties!
It will be a different color since I only had a smidgeon of the original color left. But I think it will be cute. And it will be EASY to make. Because I'm really just a beginner at these types of things. It should be ready in the next few days.
And here is a tip for anyone that is exhausted at night and doesn't always get the things done they should at night. If you are using the Flylady cinnamon bun recipe, and you flake out and don't assemble it the night before, you can still succeed in time for breakfast. Just get up at 6:00 a.m. and assmebe it with the frozen rolls, then pop it into the oven at 140 degrees for about an hour and a half and then it will be ready to bake. I was so tired last night that I fell asleep before assembling my oldest son't birthday breakfast. Bad mommy! But all is well, it's smells wonderful as it's baking right now.

Oct. 11, 2008 - Super Easy Hat and Bootie Pattern
Being baby bootie challenged I was getting frustrated that I couldn't find a bootie pattern that worked for me. Either I couldn't interpret the pattern, or I didn't like how the bootie turned out. I wanted something soft, with a weave that didn't have too many holes. I also wanted a nice cuff so it didn't need ties. So, I designed my own bootie and I'm sharing the pattern. Hopefully I wrote the instructions down in a way that can be easily understood and won't cause frustration. After I made the booties, I wanted a hat to match so I designed this simple hat to go with them. Have fun! These instructions in PDF form.
BOOTIE
Stitches used:
Chain (1 or 2) -ch
front post hdc & back post hdc
crocheting in front loop only (FLO) or back loop only (BLO)
*Do not join rounds unless noted. Work in a continuous spiral. Use a stitch marker to mark your beginning stitch.
*Supplies used:
G/6-4.25 mm crochet hook
Small amount of Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn (I used Sweet Pink)
Toe Area:
1. Make 6 sc into a magic ring.
2. Work 2 sc in first stitch, sc in next stitch. Continue this pattern around ending with 9 stitches total.
3. Work 2 sc in first stitch, sc in each of next 2 stitches. Continue this pattern around ending with 12 stitches.
4. Work 2 sc in first stitch, sc in each of next 3 stitches. Continue this pattern around, ending with 15 stitches.
5. Work 2 sc in first stitch, sc in each of next 4 stitches. Continue this pattern around, ending with 18 stitches. (If you want a bootie to fit an older baby, then you would add one or more increase rows here following the same pattern of increase. So, the next increase row would be 2 sc first stitch, sc next 5 stitches etc. This would give more width to the bootie for a bigger baby)
6-13. Sc in each stitch around. (This works out to 8 rows) (If you want to make the bootie longer add extra rows here to increas toe area.)
Heel Area:
14. Chain 1, turn. Sc in each stitch around, leaving 3 stitches unworked.
15-19. Ch 1, turn. Sc in each stitch around. (This works out to 5 rows) (Again to increase the size add an extra row or two for an older baby.)
Cuff:-Double Ruffle Option:
Working in top edge of heel area now to make a cuff:
20. Ch 1. Sc around entire top area, including 3 stitches left unworked, joining two sides to make circle.
21. IN BACK LOOP ONLY of each stitch: Ch 2. Hdc in joining stitch and in each stitch around. Join.
22. Ch 2. Front-post hdc first stitch, Back-post hdc next stitch around. Join.
23. Ch 2. Front-post hdc first stich, Back-post hdc next stitch around. Join and fasten off.
24. Join yarn in Front loop on back of bootie with slip stitch. Sc in each stitch around. Join.
25. IN BACK LOOPS ONLY: sc, ch 2, sc in first stitch; sc in next stitch. Continue this pattern around. Join.
26. IN FRONT LOOPS ONLY: ch1. sc in first stitch, hdc, dc, hdc in next stitch. Continue this pattern around. Join and fasten off leaving a long tail to sew up back of heel.
27. Sew up back of heel, weave in ends and cut any loose yarn tails.
You are finished! Make the second bootie :)
Cuff-Single Ruffle Option:
Working in top edge of heel area now to make a cuff:
20. Ch 1. Sc around entire top area, including 3 stitches left unworked, joining two sides to make circle.
21. IN FRONT LOOPS ONLY: Ch1. sc, ch2, sc in first stich; sc in next stitch. Continue this pattern around. Join.
22. IN BACK LOOPS ONLY: Ch 2., hdc around. Join with a slip stitch.
23. Ch 2. Front-post hdc first stitch, Back-post hdc next stitch around. Join.
24. Ch 2. Front-post hdc first stich, Back-post hdc next stitch around. Join and fasten off leaving a long tail to sew up heel opening.
25. Sew up heel opening. Now make the second bootie :)
To make the booties for a boy, just leave off the ruffle completely.
HAT:
* Join all rounds.
1. Make 6 sc into a magic loop. Join with a slip stitch in first sc.
2. Ch 3. 2 dc in each stitch around. Join. (12)
3. Ch 3. 2 dc in each stitch around. Join. (24)
4. Ch 3. 2 dc in each stitch around. Join. (If you need a larger hat for an older baby, continue to increase in this method) (48)
5-10. Ch 3. Dc in each stitch around. Join. (This works out to 6 rows.) (If making this hat larger for an older baby, add extra rows here for length as needed) (48)
11. IN FRONT LOOPS ONLY: Ch 1, sc, ch2, sc in next stitch; sc in next stitch. Continue this pattern around. Join with a slip stitch.
12. IN BACK LOOPS ONLY: Ch 1. Sc next stitch; hdc, dc, hdc in next stitch. Continue this pattern around. Join with a slip stitch. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Oct. 10, 2008 - Nothing new and exciting
There is nothing new and exciting happening today. At least I hope we don't get some unexpected excitement, with 6 kids that is not always a good thing, lol.
So today I will knuckle down and actually pay the bills (I don't know why it's like pulling teeth lately to get me to pay the bills....what is up with that?). And I will work on getting some of the recent patterns I have designed organized to be placed on my blog.
The children are still sick with the flu and I don't feel really great so we will take it easy.
Oh, there is a mix up at the DMV involving our car insurance and the DMV wanting to suspend our registration on two of our cars. I contacted the insurance company and the DMV weeks ago and thought it was resolved. But registered mail recently recieved shows that the insurance company dropped the ball and the DMV is suspending our registration on the 17th. So, Monday I'm going to head into town and try to get this resolved. If you think of me, please pray for this situation.
Well, I'm drowsy and chilly, so I"m going to curl up in bed with some pink yarn and a crochet hook. Have a wonderful day.

Oct. 8, 2008 - I was super blessed this weekend!
A special friend, Christina sent me a package. The package contained an Edgery Doo set and I was so excited. I couldn't believe it when I opened it, I really wanted one, lol. It was such an unexpected surprise. Thank you SO much Christina.
Here is what I have made with it so far.
A crochet hook case:
And a hat, bootie and blanket set (the hat and bootie patterns will be coming soon):
I had so much fun this weekend creating these. I used this edge for the blanket. And this pattern for the hook case. Both were really fast to make, and they turned out really nice. The only change I would make for the hook case is to add a second chain to hold the hooks, so they are straight.

Sep. 28, 2008 - We had fun today!
My oldest daughter, who is 8, went with me today to dry all the baby things at the laundromat. We had 4 large loads of baby blankets, washcloths, diapers, clothes and the diaper bag and some misc items. I washed them all at home and then we went to have "alone time" as she calls it. She was such a great help and really enjoyed it. She folded diapers and washcloths and I folded the blankets and clothes.
It only took us about 30 minutes and then we went to McDonald's to get a hot fudge sundae as a treat, lol.
So, even though we still don't have a dryer, I honestly don't feel like it's a big deal. Even if I go to the laundromat to dry every couple days in the winter it will be fine. And if I take only one child at a time, they will all get to enjoy some "alone time" with mommy.
So, what could be bad about that?

Sep. 24, 2008 - Look what I want, lol!
Isn't this the neatest thing?
.jpg "Picture 6502 (600 x 450)")
It's a plastic template kit that allows you to punch holes into fleece to create beautiful blankets. You can also connect smaller pieces of fleece together making a pretty quilt. They have an EdgeryDoo for different needs. One for rounded edges using a worsted weight yarn, one with rounded edges to use with baby or fingering weight yarn, and the squares, which allow you to make different size squares to be connected into various things.
I want the basic starter kit, the original trianular template kit. It of course is too pricey for right now, but hopefully sometime next year I can afford it and then I can make each of my children a special blanket for next Christmas. How fun would that be? Something with a lacey edge for my girls in a print that is special to each of them. And something plainer and more "manly" for each of my boys also in a print that is special to each of them. And for making gifts for others it would be fantastic too. It wouldn't take as much time as crocheting or knitting an entire afghan, and they would be so warm and cozy.
I love finding new things to add freshness to my crafting, lol. Don't you?

Sep. 10, 2008 - More play food I made
Here is the most recent crochet play food that I have made.
Pizza slices (my own pattern but I haven't had time to post the pattern yet):
Bowl of cherries (lousy picture sorry):
I'm working on some doughnuts and I have some ideas for like salad, spaghetti, nachos, tacos etc. But time is limited when my girls are asleep that I can work on this stuff.

Then here it is. Tammy's Recipes is great with recipes and frugal information for all kinds of things. This recipe is a great find from that site. I'm considering trying her bread recipe too. But that would involve grinding some wheat....do I want to or not, lol.
So have fun browsing her site, it's loads of fun!

Aug. 30, 2008 - Crochet Cheeseburger Pattern
I searched and searched for a crochet cheeseburger pattern to go with the play food set that I am crochet-ing. But I just wasn't happy with the free patterns that I found. I did find a cute one for sale, but being on a tight budget, I didn't want to buy it. So, I made my own up. And now I will do my best to share it with you. Here are the instructions in PDF form.
To make this set you need to know how to slip stitch, single crochet (sc), make a magic ring, double crochet (dc), sc2tog, crochet in back loops. Each piece is worked in a continous round without joining.
Inside of buns (make 2): Using an F -5 hook and an off-white worsted weight yarn
1. Make 8 sc into a magic ring. (8)
2. 2 sc in each stitch around. Pull magic ring closed tight. (16)
3. 1sc in next stitch, 2sc in next stitch around. (24)
4. 1 sc in next 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch around. (32)
5. 1 sc in next 3 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch around. (40)
6. 1 sc in next 4 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch around. (48).
7. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Bun Top: Using an F-5 hook and tan or light brown yarn.
1. Make 8 sc into a magic ring. (8)
2. 2 sc in each stitch around. Pull magic ring closed tight. (16)
3. 1sc in next stitch, 2sc in next stitch around. (24)
4. 1 sc in next 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch around. (32)
5. 1 sc in next 3 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch around. (40)
6. Sc in each stitch around. (40)
7. Sc in each stitch around. (40)
8. Sc in each stitch around. (40)
9. Sc in each stitch around. (40)
10. Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.

2. 2 sc in each stitch around. Pull magic ring closed tight. (16)
3. 1sc in next stitch, 2sc in next stitch around. (24)
4. 1 sc in next 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch around. (32)
5. 1 sc in next 3 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch around. (40)
6. 1 sc in next 4 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch around. (48).
7. *1 sc in next 10 stitches, sc2tog IN BACK LOOPS ONLY. Repeat from * around. (44)
8. Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.
Now assemble your bun by sewing a bun bottom with an inner and a bun top with an inner, stuff before closing. If you would like embroider some "seeds" on the bun top with white yarn before sewing and stuffing. Now you have a nice round bun!
