Time flies....

Oh my goodness!  I can't believe it's been this long since I last posted on here.  Where, oh where, has the time gone?  Another conference has come and gone and I didn't even think to post about it.  I have been very busy this last year!

Here is a picture from this years conference that I attended:

My husband's cousin and his wife had a new addition to their family just before Halloween.  Another boy!  His big brother was going to be Mario for Halloween, so they asked me to make this Yoshi hat for their little guy:

I made leg warmers (using this pattern by Chelsie Brady) for my daughter to wear to & from dance class so her little legs won't freeze.  Hers are gray with pink hearts though.  I'll have to take a picture to share.

I've made numerous other things this year as well.  My daughter had me making all of the Disney princess characters with the Rainbow Loom.  Then my middle son decided to really test my skills and had me created my own pattern of his favorite Minecraft Youtubers, Stampy Longhead & iballistic Squid.  I'll have to maybe post a tutorial on how to make those-- if I ever get around to filming them.  A new thing that I've been tinkering with in the past year is plastic canvas crafts.  I like making them but those test my patience a little more than crocheting.  As always, feel free to share what you're creating on my Facebook page HERE.

Happy Friday!

Tis the Season!

Last weekend I was selected to be an exihibitor at the Professional Childcare Development Conference for Early Childhood Educators at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.  I thouroughly enjoyed the experience and the wonderful people that I was able to meet.  This weekend I participated in a local craft show and I will participate in more over the next month.  Here are a few of the pictures from my trip and a few of the items I've made for the shows.

 This was my booth at the conference. 

I really wanted to get more creative with it but I just ran out of time.

 

 A mug or cup cozy.  So your coffee can burn your mouth and not your hands.  :)

 The view of the lake from the conference area at the resort at Osage Beach.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  It was so pretty with the leaves starting to change to fall colors.

 Creeper!

 

Minion! 

I was able to sit in on one of the workshops from the conference.  Very informative and very fun!
