~Swap Happy~

So recently I joined a swap through

 Raverly..  It was my  first  ever  Crochet  Swap and  truly one of my first Craft swaps.. 

I was sooo excited I got my package on Monday I  truly got spoiled:)

First  Swap and  a great out come. 

My partner was Mfangmann  ..  you can  find her blog here 

She's another   Twilight  fan its so neat that  me and her have alot in  common and I'm noticing  even more now sense  we have finished swapping :) 

Here is a photo Of all the goodies  she sent me.  

Two Balls Of Bamboo Yarn   That is s ooo supper SOFT  a ball of Mohair that  will look  wicked cool on  a doll Im planning on making.  Four  lil  bags of safety eye's. A really cool  and neat  hand therapy set  that  I  have all ready  tried out  :)  

Some  comfort Grips  for  my hooks.. 

 That are seriously life saver's 

Some  really PUnk a$$ buttons..   That  will look  so  sweet on one of  my gloomy's  :) 

I  totally got spoiled and  will forsurely  be doing another  swap soon..  

I  just feel  bad now I don;t think I spoiled her  enough :( 

So I have been busy busy busy I got over  26   squares  done for the blanket I'm going to make  for kiera for Christmas and  I'm  thinking it may take that long...   I should have  thought of it  at  first  but  I  should have made the squares  bigger there around  4X4 inches and I want the blanket to at least    fit  her single bed  so I have alot more squares to build lmao.. 

I have  started  to work ON a  baby blanket  ( will post  pics  when  done)   I have Two baby blankets to make and One  lil bunny :)  

Sheldons Sister is  preggo  and so is  his  cousin and I want to  give  both  baby blankets and  MY  Sister in law  has a lil girl so I also Want to send something along with the blanket  for her:)  I know  she will love it 

I have slowly started  to work on the next gloomy and  Hope to finish her soon and  really hope to get  some of these WIP  finished.. 

The baby blankey I'm  working on  right now is  creamsicle Orange and White.. It will be good  for a baby boy or a girl  I'm pretty sure. I hope to finish it  within the  next  couple  days and  hopefully finish  some of the other projects that  are half done.. Man   Im getting bad I use to make  sure i  finished one before I  started another.

As For the Internet  situation BAD  still Bad  :(   I haven't  got on  due to that. I'm going to have alot  of blog reading once it starts to work.

SO now with the sneaky Peeks On what Im working on and then maybe I will get my butt in gear and finish..

This one has been sitting awile Sence well I actually started her before the turtle b ut when I seen the turtle pattern and got it I just had to make it to so well This gloomy got put on the back burner for the time being lol ... I would say Im working on her but that would be a lie.. I started something else

GRANNY SQUARES LOL

So I have been So wanting to make some sence well they are usually one of the first things you learn to crochet well not me I went right to Amigurumi's SO I never did get the chance to do a granny square ( lil secret I tried and totally messed it up so Put it in the I have to learn pile) I felt now was the time to try sence I Have gotten the hang of DC and Skipping and turning and well everything and I can now keep count so these are my squares.

I have made 6 squares sence last night they are small the pattern I was following was from a learning to crochet book I picked up awile ago when I was learning and this is the hardest pattern in the book. Its to make a Granny Square Baby Afghan.. BuT of cource im not going to make the lil blanket, I hope to make enough squares to make a blanket for Kiera for Christmas.. SO hope to be done before christmas ( im sure I Will be ) But I have to make it big enough for her. SO Once this is done it will be gettiong put away for christmas so sad to talk about christmas when I just put my Garden in BAD ME...

Any way THE s quares are done in Dusty Rose, Dust Blue and Beige. I took the pics just now and its dark SO i will be adding more progress shots latter on so you all can see the better coloring of the squares.
