Crochet Exchanges rock!

So I have been busy with my new group on Ravelry... The Crochet Exchange Club (CEC). It needs a little work but so far I love it. So I finally got to participate in one of the exchanges, the May Flower Swap. My partner sent me these beautiful roses, all made with handspun (and even dyed) yarn. She also included the really pretty stitch markers.

I made these roses, since she likes roses, but I don't think they are as nice as hers. I tried five different patterns and still love hers more. Oh well. I should be sending these out today. I hope she likes them.

Later I will show you a preview of my first crocheted wearable I am making for me! I have made wearables before but never for me. I want to make a ton this summer... since yarn is cheaper than clothes... but it all depends on how this project turns out. Oh, and two new books and a magazine review in the future!

Happy crafting!

So many projects...

And so little time. I have stated a ton of projects lately and we will see what actually gets done. I already have a few things I want to write about but I think I should finish the projects first then post. I will admit not everything is going to be made from leftovers (and I will be honest when this happens) but I would still like to share. Up first we have pillowcases (not from leftovers), my quilting bee fall exchange (not yet but soon), and some yummy food.

Just FYI I am doing several projects this month for other people and will share those as time permits. I am doing a Quilting Bee and a DIY exchange with my local nest board. I am also helping one of my friends with her projects. With all of this going on very little of my work will come out this month. Please bear with me as I try to get somethings on here and get this rolling. I promise to have a few projects and ideas on here before Thanksgiving! (I need something to be proud of by then). I will post about my projects but I have to hope no one reads this blog and receives my gifts... with that in mind I will be vague but I promise to explain it all later.

Enjoy!!!
