I finished this wreath, inspired by Attic 24. She has so many ideas on her website, all free, and oh so colorful. This wreath has a foam base. The idea behind the blue cover is from my daughter, Emily, who loves the color blue. This was fun to make. This next one is a sheep from the Fuzzy Knits book.

Here is another crochet rug I finished. Again, I used scrap cotton yarn (dishcloth cotton) held doubled. Click on the picture to see the bigger version. Each flower is crocheted individually and then, sewed together by hand. That was the easiest way of doing it. I crocheted a border of single crochet in black yarn. This is how each individual flower looked like. You kinda have to match the curves. and sew it on. tah dah!

I have finished a crocheted rectangular rug using left over bits of cotton yarn I used for washcloths and dishcloths. the yarn is held doubled in mismatched colors picked randomly. I crocheted strips of 13 dcs (don't ask why. It just seemed the right count). And I picked a random length of 30 inches long. 4 strips sewn together, then a border of hdcs and this is what I got. I had hubby buy rug backings at Home Depot and we're all set. The backing cost $22 and is quite a huge size. I can probably make about 10 rugs with this sheeting. Next time, I'll show you my flower rug with a pattern.

I have some recently finished work: Here's a knitted baby owl from Fuzzymitten.com Another is a kid's owl hat (crocheted) from RepeatCrafterMe and here's the adult version this polar bear hat was done without a written pattern. I just winged it.

I've always wanted to try this for the longest time and never knew some of our local bakeries make them for Fat Tuesday. Presenting the King cake:

And here's the closeup of the baby Jesus on top of the cake. It is no longer baked into the cake since people keep biting into them and breaking their teeth.

In all my crocheting life, I've finished only 2 afghans and they were both baby afghans. This month, however, I finished this

I first saw it on Pinterest and fell in love. I used all scrap yarns from my stash. Sometimes, even the cream background did not match but I was okay with that. I used up small bits and pieces of colored acrylic, blend, and even some cotton. Just made sure it will be machine washable. Here's a close up:

I loved crocheting this thing. I never got bored. I worked on it while watching TV, while surfing the net, or just sitting down. I loved playing and combining the colors. The pattern is an original Priscilla Hewitt, found HERE. She called it Sunburst Granny square. Or this might be a better, more direct link.

The weekend before the Thanksgiving holiday, my family and I went to Disneyland. We stayed at the Disneyland hotel, wanting to see what the hype was all about. It was all hype. Nothing magical about it, well except maybe this:

This was on top of our headboard, and when you turn on the light, it plays a "When you wish upon a star" tune--lol! The hotel room and bathroom were clean but there was no microwave. No free breakfast. We paid $450/ night for 5 people in one room. It was like any old ordinary hotel room. The kids were disappointed too. Granted it was close to Disneyland and the CA Adventure park but they make you walk through Downtown Disney first. But it was an enjoyable vacation. We had a blast at Cars Land, inspite of the looong lines at the Race track. Long lines everywhere.

Mickey's face at night, at the CA Adventure park. The kids thought this was the worst ferris wheel ever.

Peace on Earth at It's a Small World. BTW, I'm not a roller coaster type of gal but I was able to ride the Matterhorn and the race cars at Cars Land. Super fast and cool.
