Plarn....... :-/

Ok, so knitting up a small swatch of plarn is not the same as knitting an entire project, I just don't like the feel of it!!! But my dear friends I will see it through. (at some point)
For now I'm working on project "Melissa loves Café Con Léche". :)
Dear Melissa from Crocheting Over Coffee asked me to contribute to her blog ( how exciting!!!!), so I've put all others projects aside and am now working on something that I hope will wow!!! her. I'll be done before the end of next week. Stay tuned!!!!
P.S. Sorry for the bad pic, I really need to learn to use the good nikon instead of the iPhone camera.
Have a great and blessed weekend everyone!!!!!

Today I am making Plarn, (plastic yarn)

It takes more or less 15 to 20 plastic grocery bags to knit an Eco friendly, tote. (15 to 20 less plastic bags in our landfills !!!). These totes could be used for the beach, the farmers market, or even as grocery bags, ;). So let's start saving the plastic bags, and make lots and lots of Plarn, and let's do our part to save our planet!!!!! You can find a Plarn making tutorial by Linda Martin on Favecrafts.com.

Pink #6. Milla's tattered pink Teddy

So, I got up this morning, and as I walked over to the kitchen to make my morning cup of Joe, still half asleep, I stopped dead in my tracks. With my peripheral vision I could see something pink and furry peeking at me from behind my sofa. I cautiously went over to take a peek, and there she was, Milla's tattered, pink Teddy just laying there, wanting to be picked up off the floor, and put up high so that my kitty wouldn't pick on her anymore.
So I rescued her, and now she is just waiting for her owner to take her home.
Have a great rest of your day everyone!!!!!

Pink #5. A sweet little set for Alyssa

I made this sweet little set for sweet little Alyssa, a baby girl born to a lovely couple from the congregation I attend.
Problem is, that that Alyssa's mama and I keep missing each other, when I attend she doesn't and vice versa, I hope it still fits when I finally see them.
If not, I guess it'll be an excuse to crochet more pink things. Yay!!!!!

A JAR FULL OF YOYOS

More Yoyos for moms cushion. :)

VOILA!!!!!!

And finally!! The finished product. My beach bag!!! Now, let's see what I can do about some warm weather. We are halfway thru May, and Southern Cali is is still unseasonably cool.
