wip wednesday, birthday gift & a kitcher sighting

i've been making headbands for a while now & i like them but i was looking for a wider version & i found one i really really like but it's front & back post stitches & it will take forever for me as i'm not so good with those stitches.  i'm thinking of converting it to regular stitches it just won't have ribbing.  anywho, i was looking at my "i'm a HOOKER!!!" board & saw i had pinned this headband a while back & thought i would make it.  it's not as wide as the first one but it's wide enough. i really like it & it's turning out really pretty. 

sorry bad lighting again, the headband i originally wanted to make is the one in the picture on the paper.  :o)  didn't realize i had gotten a pic of it as well.

this is the pattern i'm working on right now, it's nice for dreads or long curls as she describes.

i love this headband!  so neat!

i'm finished with the top portion all i have left is the sides & the button.  the only thing i don't care about on this pattern is that it uses a 3.5 hook & i hate the tiny hooks.  give me a pattern with an I or bigger hook & i'm good to-go.  i actually tried to make the pattern with an I hook but the holes were way too big so i'm going by the pattern. 


yesterday was my birthday, yep, i'm the big 3-6!  it doesn't bother me like some people, it's more of, just another day thing to me.  i don't feel older either.  :o)

chicharrones cake!  hahahahahaha

i walked into work yesterday after q's christmas party, forgot my phone so no damn pics! :(
brittany had got me 2 bags of pork rinds, one hot, one regular (i love pork rinds!), and tied a balloon around the bags.  so that's what i got instead of a cake, i specified i didn't want cake so this is what she came up with.  i freaking love it!!!  :o)

oh & a kitcher sighting.  our elf on the shelf is not mischievous, i don't get why people want their sweet, cute elf to be bad!  don't get me wrong, it's funny but i hate cleaning up messes & those bad elves are making too many messes for my likings.  so our elf does non-messy, non-bad things.  this is what we woke up to a couple of days ago...

almost forgot to remind everyone to head over to tami's amis to check out all the other wips.  :)  have a great hump/wip day!!!

wip wednesday

i started making some headbands & i don't have the buttons on them or the embellishments either.  any suggestions besides flowers?  i thought about doing the suggestion from a friend of a heart & then putting a felt banner on it & hand-stitching something on there, kinda like a tattoo heart.  :o)

i got the pattern from melanie matos, found on ravelry, it's a free pattern & super easy!  you should try it.
i made one that i posted on here before but not for sure when so i will post the pic here again.  :o)

hi all, i hope this week has been good to you & that the weekend is even better for you!  :)  head on over to tami's ami's to check out all the coolest handmade stuffs!

 the first thing i got done this week was a headband.  it was a special request & i must say i will be making more of these.  not only was it really easy but i can think of lots of different options on colors & flowers.  :)

this it "standing" up facing front, like my props?  yarn, hook, junie b jones book....  hehehehe

grey headband with yellow buttons, so CUTE!!! 



so then i was asked to make a slouchy for a friend & i found the super cute gumdrop slouchy from gleeful things & it turned out so cute!!!  it's actually kinda reversible because i worked in BLO (back loops only) & so it gave the lined appearance on one side & then if you flip it inside out it looks normal.  :)  i love julie's stuff on gleeful things, check her out.  :)  i love the colors of the yarn but it would have been nicer if redheart made their regular stuff just a teensy bit softer!  the band was made with my fave, hobb lobb's i love this yarn.  :)

BLO side



non-BLO side :)  it would not cooperate so in laying flat this way so i had to fold it to get this pic.
