Crochet Sun Hat

Hi!  I crocheted this little sun hat a couple hours at a time over 3 days.  It was a pretty simple pattern.  I found it over at Lion Brand Yarn's website.  I think I crochet kind of slowly.  I'm sure experienced people can make this in a couple hours.  I once saw an elderly woman crocheting at a bus stop and she wasn't even looking at her hands or the yarn, just staring down the road for the bus.  I'm not like that.  I count every stitch and more than once too to make sure I'm following the pattern correctly and even then I might make a mistake here and there.  I am happy with the way this turned out.

It's a little roomy for my 2 year old.  I think he likes it.

Took a little break from card making.  Thinking about all the new stamps that came out at PTI.   Then there are the new RAM stamps coming out at Paper Works Co. on Friday.  So many cute stamps!  To buy or not to buy ...

That is it for tonight.  Thanks for reading and have a good Thursday!

Crocheted Market Bag

Hi!  So today's been very exciting after finding out my little baby memory box made it into TGF's Royalty Contest Final Four.  Then I got a little nervous so I had to clean the house to use up some nervous energy.  But with 3 kids on summer break the house doesn't stay clean for long.  And thanks to everyone for the sweet comments!

Anyway, onto today's project.  Over the past few days, I've been crocheting this market bag.  The pattern is from Lion Brand Yarn #60551.  It's not too large or small and fits a good amount of stuff in it.  I put my kids toys in it just to see what would fit.

I had originally planned to make bags similar to this one as Xmas presents last year but started too late. 

Here's my youngest trying the bag on for size.  Yeah, it's really too big for him.  Excuse all the messy toys in the background.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
