Here are a couple of things I've done lately.....I do really want to get pictures of my craft room (yep, I actually got one~FINALLY ~ oldest moved out) It's not huge, but it's something! More than I had before.

I love this cute crochet Owl hat. I found the free pattern here. Thanks Life at the Daisy Cottage for the free pattern.

Crochet football hat.

Found the pattern here at FreeCrafterMe.com I didn't do the earflaps on this one. She has great pictures and explanations.

Just a few of my crochet projects I've been working on. I have a blanket I've been working on, gotta get that done! Will post pics of that later!

First try at a crochet owl...wait till you see this....kinda a mess

Here is my first attempt at crocheting an owl. The original pattern came from this supper neat blog called lovethebluebird.blogspot.com...check it out. Thanks Laura for the free pattern. I used some yarn I didn't really like. but anyway here it is....

The latest crochet hat

This is what I accomplished today...Found the pattern on pinterest. Well actually, it's a combination of this one and finished with single crochet. The flower is a Youtube video. She is GREAT at showing you how to make this flower....I didn't do the last row of the flower though.

Crochet

I've been surfing Pinterest and discovered so many neat crochet projects. My grandmother taught me how to crochet many years ago, but I never learned how to read a pattern and the most I ever done was make a blanket and some scarfs. I've been watching Youtube videos and learned how to crochet a flower and a hat.....needless to say, I'm HOOKED!!!! Here is a picture of some of the things I've worked on today.

I found the butterfly pattern here...the flower patterns, are a combination of different ones. Here are a few places to look.

I "THINK" I may have figured out how to post the follower button for pinterest.....

If you haven't checked out pinterest yet, you need to. It's a great way to save and share ideas that you like.

First post of 2012

I know I have not been the greatest at blogging. Well, not even close. The ideas are all in my head and I think about it often, I just don't have much time. (well that's my excuse anyway). I will try to start reading and figuring out how to blog. I only know how to do a few things, so I get frustrated very easy. I do love to pin. And as soon as I figure out how to link my boards here, I will do that too.

Anyway, here is a picture that I took in my living room of my son and have been playing around with in Photoshop Elements 10. Any comments are greatly appreciated (constructive criticism please :o)

Done with PSE10....takes time, but fun!!

This is the original

I am not a professional photographer (haha, I know, that's pretty obvious). I just love to take pictures and play around with them in photoshop elements. (self taught on that too).

Here is another of the same picture that I "played" with.

I made these last year for Christmas gifts. I would like to do more this year. It didn't take very long. Cut the letters out with my Cricut. Used Vinyl. Used a glue stick and then red glitter. Soooo easy and FUN!

Stainless Steel Cleaner

Well, I just got my computer back last night. It got a virus and had to be taken off.....UGH!!! I just wanted to share with everyone a GREAT product if you have stainless steel appliances. First of all, I wish we would have gotten the "look alike" stainless appliances. They are cheaper, look exactly the same and 100 times easier to clean. Today I was going to get the cleaner that I normally get and thought I would try something new. I hardly ever do that because I HATE wasting money. However, this was sooooo worth it. It takes off ALL prints and leaves such a pretty finish and shine. Thought I would pass it along. Have a great weekend.

January Customer Special Video

This is Thirty~One's January Special. There is no minimum order or limit. And....to top that off, it's ONLY $1.50 to personalize. To order email me at: tanya.alley@yahoo.com

Cricut project

Here is a project that I made last year as teacher gifts (from our Bank) I used my Cricut Expression. It was so much fun to make. I definitely need to get back to it but my biggest issue is space. My house is only 1048 sq ft. and 2 growing boys, just not enough room. I thought about buying or making a building outside. What I would love to do is add a room on to my house or build me a scrap room in my attic... Hubby says there isn't enough room, but I think he's wrong and there is plenty room. Anyway, here is the picture. Hope you have a wonderful day.

I'm going to the doctor today, so hopefully I will get some good antibiotics.

Crazy Day

So glad this Monday is done. Work is crazy on the 3rd at the bank. And not feeling too hot hasn't helped...However, I was going through some old email and found this picture. I REALLY REALLY want this.

Something I have been wanting from Pottery Barn.

I will get it one of these days....I hope.

One thing I love to do is Digital cards, scrapbooks and photo editing...

This is one of the Senior Pics I done for my son last year.

My Christmas card this year....It ended up only on Facebook

Below is something I worked on for a friend.

Not feeling so good today. My ears have been popping and the sore throat hasn't gone away. I have a Dr. appt on Tuesday...we'll see what he has to say. Maybe I will post something fun tomorrow.
