Crocheted Clutch

How adorable is this!?!  I crocheted a hand clutch....I'm not sure what I will put in it yet, but it's something fun to have!  I might crochet matching card holders to put in the clutch so I can actually use it functionally....yeah.  That's what I am going to do.  Okay, off to crochet those!  

New Photos!

Hi friends!  Check out my photoblog at www.laurademarsphotography.blogspot.com!  New family photo sessions are up!

Headbands

I've been nuts lately.  Really.  I've been crocheting likes nuts.  It's a relaxing past time while Ingrid snoozes.  Yesterday I whipped up a headband.  I'm thinking of doing more.  But right now I'm busy crocheting a pocket book....I hope it turns out!

Wordless Wednesday

Crocheted Aviator Hat

My attempt at a crocheted aviator hat....it's fun to try out new things! 

Ingrid was not into being my model this morning...

(I look forward to soon getting together with my cousin Katie......she is going to teach me to crochet a hat! Whoo hoo!)

Crocheted Mukluks

So I have finished the trial version of my first "mukluk boot".  There are many imperfections, and I'm slightly bummed that if I really knew how to follow a pattern, the boot would be pretty awesome.  BUT I think for not knowing what I'm doing it turned out okay.  (My second half of this pair was all kinds of wrong, so I have to start over).  Here it is!

Tis' the Season for crafting

I always go into crafting overdrive when fall & winter hits.  I love that I have a little girl to wear my creations!  I am no expert.  When it comes to crocheting I really only know how to do one stitch.  I can crochet the hell out of a square or rectangle shape.  One day I hope to really learn to crochet, so that I can follow a pattern, but for now I have to get creative to make what I want.  I recently made a "Cindy-Lou" hat for Ingrid, and I am almost done crocheting a pair of mukluk's for myself (more on that later).  Here are a few pictures!

Here is Ingrid's new hat!  She actually keeps it on too! 

This is the only good picture I could get of her wearing the hat, it was before I sewed the flower on.

I got this adorable boy sweatshirt on clearance several months ago, I "girled" it up by sewing some cute flowers on...

In my mental bank I plan on doing some baby mukluks, mary jane's (the shoe style, that is), and an aviator style hat.
