Craft Sites and Pinterest

Anyone else signed up for Pinterest? I am toying with the idea...like I need another website to check and play on everyday! I hadn't heard of Pinterest until a friend mentioned it before Christmas. It is a website to "pin" favorite ideas, photos, quotes, etc to your page.

Any other craft websites you visit regularly? I have bookmarked many that Kalinda and Lisa have on their blogs. Today, I spent some time checking them out for ideas, then I get overwhelmed and maybe Pinterest would be a good way to save everything in one place!

Anyone working on anything fun!? I spent the weekend quilting on my mystery quilt project. I will post photos soon. And I am thinking about signing up for a block of the month at the quilt store. Casey got me a cool window pane/photo frame for Christmas. I just need to get the pictures in it and hung up. I will post that soon too.

Kalinda, here is a fun yarn crafty idea for you and the boys! Super cute, I might have to try it!

Happy Monday, Happy Crafting!

Crochet projects.

It has been quite awhile since anyone posted on here yet I'm pretty sure most of us, if not all of us, did some crafty stuff for Christmas.  C'mon, ladies, cough up those pictures!!  I want to see what everyone Has been working on!

I made these two neck pillows.  They are only two of the 12 I intended to make, so they will get put away and wait until next Christmas when I will, hopefully, have the rest of the pillows ready to give away.





You all probably saw these on my other blog.  I'm currently using the same yarn to make Aren a hat.


And here are the boys wearing their "monkey caps" with their matching coats.


I've signed up to be a part of a crochet swap.  I will be making a Valentine project for my partner.  I'm thinking either a little bag or maybe some arm/wrist warmers.  Anyone have any ideas?  I'll be sure to post pics when I'm done!
