Ruby's Slippers

I just tried my hand at crocheting some baby booties/slippers. In fact I made some ruby slippers for Ruby!!

I still need to attach the straps & I am gonna put a few decorative buttons on there too.
(I used a pattern from e-PatternsCentral.com, designed by Carolyn Christmas, "Mary Janes". Thank you so much for making it available!)

Needing to catch up

Well, I am slowly getting back into the swing of things here at home. Even being injured, I have begun the process of getting it together.
Charlie is going off to kindergarten tomorrow morning. I am kinda sad. I just can't believe he is going to "big boy school".
I have been crocheting, but I haven't taken any pictures to post. I have gotten involved in a new project & have temporarily abandoned the Granny Square a day project. I will get back to that soon too.

We survived!

It has been a couple of days, but just wanted everyone to know we were all doing okay!
The ride went smooth & pretty quick considering we stopped a few times.
It is hot here, just like at home...with no rain.
I have been crocheting a little less than usual, but I still have managed to work up a few things.

Hmmmmm...?

I am still fiddling around with new patterns & colors! I just can't decide. If I put all the odd ones together I suppose that would make for an interesting piece. Anyhow, I really need to get busy packing & preparing for our trip!

No Granny today

I did not get around to the next Granny Square in the book today, sorry. I did however fiddle around with a few different squares & some color combinations. I just can't decide if I should go bright colors or if I should do a toned down project this time. I need a "square" project, because I think they are easier to travel with, and I will be MIA from the blogger world for a week. Anyhow, if anyone drops in & has a suggestion, just let me know...which square or what colors??? Or both :)

Granny Square of the day # 20

Day # 20 brings us the Dania Square! I enjoyed the bright colors I chose...I think it would make a lovely blanket or pillow cover.

My new crochet love...

I really, really loved crocheting this cushion! I could have gone on & on with it, but decided not to.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Lucy at Attic24! What a wonderful pattern & awesome tutorial!

Granny Square of the day # 18

Day # 18 is the Tri-Colored Clusters. I really like the looks of this one. It looks a bit Celtic to me. It's funny because it says "Experienced" at the top & I just didn't believe it looking at the picture. Ha Ha...joke was on inexperienced me...It was a bit challenging figuring it out for sure. But I think it turned out alright all the same.

Love, Love, Love

African Flower pattern via craftpassion.com

Blooming Flower Cushion by Lucy @ Attic24 xoxo

These are two of my four projects I have going at one time! These make me smile & I just love the yarns I am working with on both! Needless to say, they are my favorite projects so far as well!
The African flowers are being hooked in the Tahki Cotton Classic yarn with a 3.50mm US E/4 hook.
And the Blooming Flower I am using a cotton/nylon blend I purchased recently online. They compared it to Borraco Weekender. I really really like it. It does split a little easy so you have to watch your hook, but the stitch definition & the feel of it is sublime!
Oh yeah, I am using a 4.00mm US G/6 hook for this one.

Granny Square of the day # 13

Day # 13 brings the Cluster Cross Square!

I thought I might mention this, now that I have been posting one of these things a day for almost two weeks...I am using Tahki Cotton Classic yarn & a US G6 crochet hook (4.00mm).
