Easy Peasy Busy BEE! :)

I've been working on loads and loads of projects.  SO many that my housework has suffered (ALOT)
Oh well!  One thing I learned is that, housework will ALWAYS be there, but craft projects come and go, like two ships in the night... ;) OK YEAH YEAH!  Crafting has become a serious addiction!

Here are a few of the items that I worked on in the past few weeks!  I love them all!

This is Simplicity 2396 Sweet Pea Tote Bag

Sweet Pea Tote 
Lining and pocket
 This was Easy Peasy, however, it takes alot of patience to get all the prep work done.  
I want to make a white and blue floral one next!  Maybe with denim binding and straps!  :)


This bag was such a pleasure to make!  The crochet bag whipped up quickly!  
It's worked from the bottom to the top (in rounds).  
You can find the FREE crochet pattern here --->Norstrom Hobo Bag in Ravelry.

The handle was a Joann find for .97 cents!  It was on clearance! :)
I used Lion Brand Homespun in Tumbleweed!
My new Fall bag!
The liner and pocket.

This tote is really big!  LOL  It's good for a day at the beach or flea market!
The crochet pattern can be found here Simple Net Crochet Bag on Ravelry.
I used a fine burlap for the liner and added a three section pocket.




I have a few more items to post.  But will be later.  I'm going out!  BUH BYE!

Studious Teacher Pencil Scarf


After sewing a few things, I wanted to crochet something FUN!  Different, GEEKY?  maybe!  :)
It certainly was Easy Peasy!
I've been wanting to make a pencil scarf for a looooooong time.  
You know? A scarf made to look like a big pencil.. except, you wear it, outside... 
you get the picture?  NO?  well here it is...  :)

Studious Teacher Pencil Scarf

Studious Teacher Pencil Scarf

For this project I used a size H crochet hook.  I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Mustard (for the pencil part)  For the metal eraser holder thingy (giggle) I used Red Heart soft in gray heather, for the pink eraser I used ACMoore's no brand name, for the sharpened part I used Red Heart supersaver in Beige fleck and for the charcoal I used Simply Soft in black.   It wasn't too bad.  I didn't follow a pattern.  Maybe I'll make a whole box of colored pencils!!!  right?  yeah?  We'll see!  :)

Have a great Easy Peasy kind of day!  Happy Hooking! ;)
