Cause Bracelets - Cervical Cancer Pictures

Here are the pictures of the Cervical Cancer Cause Bracelets that I made last night! This time I made one into a key fob!



Gifts: Diaper Cake

Well, I finished and gifted the baby girl Diaper Cake that I was working on. It has rave reviews! I made it using size 3 diapers, various toys, hair clips, and outfit and baby washing supplies. I even added one of the Boo Boo Bunnies that I make!

I'll let the pictures tell you everything! :)







Cause Bracelets - Cervical Cancer

I got the yarn in to make my bracelets for Cervical Cancer today so, I made up a couple to sell on Etsy. Again, all of the proceeds from these bracelets will go to charity. I will be making the donations from all of my cancer bracelets to the American Cancer Society, unless I get a large order for one of the causes. Then the proceeds will go to that specific cause. :)

I will take and post pictures of the Cervical Cancer Bracelets tomorrow! :)

Next up, pink ones for Breast Cancer!

Etsy: Cause Bracelets - Multiple Sclerosis

I just put up a listing on my Etsy.com account for the MS Cause Bracelets that I have made! All the proceeds from the sales will be donated to the National MS Society!

I also received two orders for bracelets supporting Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer! So, please keep an eye out for those as well! 

If you have a cause that you want to support or just want a bracelet let me know what two colors you want it in, and I will gladly make you one! :) 



These bracelets can also be used for many other things! They have an awesome curl to them when untied! I used one as a zipper pull for my Kindle Fire!

















When you get a chance head on over to my etsy site to check them out! :)

Crocheting: Learning the Basics - Second Session

Once I became confident on the Single Crochet Technique that was discussed in the first session. I moved onto the second lesson: Double Crochet.

Well, the first time I tried to get through the lesson Madison (my Toddler) was running around, so I couldn't put mu full attention into the lesson. This time I waited until both of my girls were down for their naps. This time I was able to put all of the attention that I needed into the lesson. I didn't get confused by the technique, which was a little different then how I was originally doing it.

Now that I know how to do a real double crochet I am hoping to be able to apply it to some patterns. I believe the next lesson that they are going to teach us is how to make a tech cozy! :) What a perfect little project, I have tons of things that I can make a cozy for! :)

Here is my double crochet swatch that I created for the lesson.

Gifts: Diaper Cake

Well, I have purchased and started making the Diaper Cake for the baby shower that we are going to next weekend. I really enjoy making one of these with all of the super cute things for baby! :)

So far I have created the three layers with the diapers and secured them with beautiful satin hot pink and purple ribbon. I like to use Size 3 diapers because babies tend to stay in that size longer then Ns, 1s and 2s. Plus, everyone tends to gift the smaller sizes to the Mommy-to-be anyways.

The next step that I have to do is to put all of the cute little things on the diaper cake. But for now I thought that I would share a teaser picture! :)

Gifts: Boo Boo Bunnies!

Well, today I got the rest of the supplies to put together a project for baby shower that I am going to soon. I decided that I was going to also make one of my cute little Boo Boo Bunnies to go with it! What Expecting Mommy wouldn't want one of those super cute little bunnies to help them make their future babies boo boo feel better?!

Here are some pictures of ones that I have done previously!














I can make these with any color scheme that you would like! The two Boo Boos shown above where made for a baby shower. Mommy didn't know what the sex of the baby was so, I used a nice yellow and green ribbon for a more neutral look.
