Hi everyone! Hope you all had a Happy Christmas! I'm just glad it's all over ! I'm looking forward to not having anywhere to go and just sitting around and crocheting or working some of the other crafts that I've started.... I'm working on this baby blanket right now! I'm using Lion Brand baby soft yarn in Pistachio and Cream. It's for my daughters boyfriends sister, she already had the baby, I was supposed to have the blanket ready but with the holidays I fell behind... Oh well, she'll get it! soon..... lol.

I don't care for the colors much but that's what the nursery colors are so..... what can I say... Kinda blah... I like to work with something more colorful.

And I still have this big ripple blanket to finish! I love the way it's coming out but I haven't been working on it either! So I am looking forward to having some nice relaxing crochet time now that Christmas is over.

I've been wanting to try a few new crafts that I've never done. One is Clothespin dolls (check out "clothespin doll groups" on flickr) I am amazed at what beautiful little dolls people make from clothespins. Such beautiful work. I've tried a bit so far but making those teeny tiny dresses is hard!! At least for me it is! I can sew and crochet and I can't seem to make a decent dress for a clothespin doll!! arrrgggg!! It's really bugging me! lol. I thought they would be fun to make.... So when mine were not turning out, I got discouraged and put my doll making supplies away ... lol.

Then there are Rag Dolls or Annnies as some people call them. I ordered a few patterns from
Oh Sew Dollin about 3 years ago and never made them so I want to give that a try! (she also has some new patterns that I want) I don't know how that will go.....I always get all pumped up on some new craft , go out and spend all sorts of money buying the supplies and then when they don't turn out like I thought I get discouraged and give up. hehehe.. that's just me!

I think I will go to the fabric store today and see if I can get some muslin to cut out a doll pattern.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
