My first Violet shows her face!

Patch's New Collar

So we were hosting Patch's, my brother's 17 year old puppy while they were on vacation and I wanted to spruce her up a bit.  Hence, her new collar which I found here http://poshpoochdesignsdogclothes.blogspot.com/2010/10/12-collars-of-christmas-pattern-give_18.html
She loves it!  She is acting like a silly little bouncy puppy again.

Here was her before her flowers.  After I couldn't even keep up with her for the picture ;-)

Doily's/Coasters

Same pattern, 3 different size thread.  Worsted weight, size 3 and size 10 crochet thread.  Found this pattern somewhere online and it was adapted from a pattern written in 1893.

Garden's Growing!

I guess I probably should have weeded before the pictures not after.  These are sunflowers along the fence and some wildflowers and assorted weeds ;-)  Also my cinderblock garden I got from Pinterest.

Winning Cozy!

Here is Dad with his early Father's Day gift.  Who would have guessed when I gave it to him that it would win me the crochet along contest http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Kitchen-and-Dining/Crochet-Along-Good-Morning-Sunshine-Cozy/ml/1

My first Violets!

My African violet is going to give me it's first flowers!

Some of the flowers on my Night Blooming Cereus.

Pegboard for my yarn

I got this idea from Pinterest and I love it.  I had to order more hooks for my smaller crochet thread.

Different Dishclothes!

These are me practicing new stitches.  These are both patterns from lionbrand.com that I downloaded for free.  The red-white-blue is called a "Grit Stitch" and the brown & white is called a "Sedge Stitch"  I enjoyed making both of them but they seem a bit small although I still struggle with my tension and I don't count gauge.

Crocheted Dishclothes!

Just to document the only successful crocheting I have done prior to the Crochet-Along Mug.

My Sunshine Mug Project!

So I have just learned to crochet and this is my Good Morning Sunshine Cozy project I made from the Crochet Along on http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Kitchen-and-Dining/Crochet-Along-Good-Morning-Sunshine-Cozy/ml/1.
This is my first project that was not a dishcloth and it was a lot of fun.  Now I get to be entered to win some Red Heart yarn for participating.  Yeh!


Update:

I  Won !!!!!!!!!
I won the contest!  Oh my, this is my first win of anything ever.
Thank you so much to http://www.redheart.com/  for picking me ;-)
