More Yarn!

So I have a funny story to share with you!  I told my husband a while ago that I was done buying yarn for a long time.  This was after I had spent over $200 on yarn.  I told him that I had everything I needed, and I wouldn't buy any more for a while.  He didn't believe me one bit.  And apparently he was right in not believing me because I bought at least one new skein of yarn every week for a few weeks now.  Hahaha!  I clearly love yarn and making lots of fun and useful photo props with all this yarn!  I bought black and some browns to use for boy props.  I decided that I have done enough pretty flowers for girls that it was time to do some cute boy things.  Tarcil is excited to see what I make!  :)

Crochet Flowers

I really love spending my evenings crocheting!  And since today is Saturday, I get to spend more time today on projects to show you next week!  I made these two different sets of flowers in so many pretty colors!  Both patterns were simple and fast to make!  In case you didn't notice on previous posts, I am including links to the videos I used for these projects at the bottom so that you can make them too! 

Doesn't Tarcil look so cute among all the pretty flowers??!?!?

Ruffle Flowers

I LOVE these flowers!  They are so big with so many ruffles!!  They were easy to make, but they took time.  Tarcil was surprised at how big they are!  They are almost as big as he is!  Haha!  :)

Alligator Clips

I found this bag of 200 alligator clips on Amazon.  I plan to use them of all the flowers I make so that I can easily switch the flowers between the headbands.  I am so excited to get some more of my projects done for newborn photography props!  Stay tuned for more updates!  Tarcil likes seeing my finished work, but he also enjoys seeing the progression of work as well.  :)

Homespun Fluff Blankets

I finally made baby blankets out of this incredibly soft and fluffy yarn!  I love the texture and the colors so much!  And they are a perfect little size for photography props!  I didn't have a pattern to follow, so I just single crocheted until I ran out of yarn!  It was so easy!  I think Tarcil was upset to learn that these aren't for him.  He stuck his tongue out at me.  Hahaha!  :)

Shell Stitch Headbands

I got this beautiful set of Shell Stitch Headbands made!  I love these colors so much!  These are so simple and I easily memorized the pattern just from the repetition of making 6 headbands.  The video I followed includes a flower for them.  I plan to make those separately so that I can mismatch the colors as I see fit.  :)  

Here is the video I followed: https://youtu.be/ztRm84lwyF8

Enjoy!  :)

Chunky Yarn

I love starting the week off with new yarn for new projects!  I already know exactly what I am using this beautiful, chunky yarn for!  I can't wait to show you all the finished project!  Tarcil is always excited to see what I make!  I have so many projects in my head that I want to do, and never enough time to do them all!  I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your week!  :)
