Amigurumi
















Did I know what this was a few months ago? Not really. Even though I had crocheted like this before I didn't know it had a name. Amigurumi is crocheting in rounds of single crochet. This is mostly to make animals and other stuffed toys. So here are a few that I have done. Some are in my shop for sale and some have been sold, but I can make more.














Lots of baby quilts!




Her are a few of the baby rag quilts that I have in my shop. Each square is stitched with an X to keep the batting from shifting. Then each square is securely sewn to each other in a pattern. Next I clip all the raw edges. Then I wash the quilt to start the ragging process. These are very warm and cuddly for your little one. Each is made with several cooridinating flannel fabrics. I also use a natural batting in between the flannel. I prefer the flannel because it is so soft and comfy.

BabyBotties!











I've been busy making baby booties. These are nice and comfy, warm, stay on their feet booties. You know that once babies find their feet, their favorite thing is to take off their socks. So with these booties on they can't get them off.
The little football one's are made with recycled jeans!

Guess it's been a while

But things in life can get in the way. We have had alot of home projects that needed to be done. We got a new septic system put in, yeah! We had also torn down our very old garage, still need to build a new one. We alos had a little problem with our boiler. It decided to quit working when it got cold here, of course. The blower quit working and we thought that was the problem, but after replacing it it still didn't work. Well I went to the store and bought some space heaters so we had some heat at least. We finally figured it out that it needed to be cleaned really well. We had cleaned the burners before, but never knew you had to take the whole box apart and clean in there. So after about 2 days worth of cleaning and resealing, we had a working boiler.

Well now that it's getting to be winter out, which I hate to go out in alot of snow, I can maybe get a little blogging done.
