I've been spending a lot of time with my crochet hook. She is my friend. My sewing machine is feeling quite put out. When I walk by my sewing space, I can hear her sigh and say, "Here we go again. This happened once before. Hello. Hello. Can you hear me? What am I? Chopped Liver?" I've been pretending I don't hear her, but I will have to give her some attention soon. She is so very good to me. I don't want to lose her allegiance. But that darn hook has captured my attention.
So far I have completed two hats, two headbands, and have a third headband part way done.
I only have photographic evidence of this headband. The other bits of hooky goodness disappeared before I could get a picture. They are currently residing in backpacks and lockers, ready for action when the winter wind whips up. I like to see handmade goodness happily worn on the noggins of my girls. It does a mama good.
That's all for now.
XOXO~

I'm right there with you! I have been watching youtube videos to learn how to make crochet flowers. I've made 5 now! :) I am always thinking of new things I want to try to learn to crochet! My big idea right now is to crochet shoes for babies. :)

I know exactly how your sewing machine is feeling... mine has been watching me discover and obsess about knitting the past two weeks! Love the headbands with the flowers... I am a crocheter so I am being tempted... NOPE, back to the knitting needles! LOL.. I am finding it's a good alternate that can be done while watching tv and spending time with the Dear Hubby :)

Yes, it does do a mama good ... Especially when the project turns out as awesome as yours did. I like the neutral color of the band and how it makes the colorful flowers pop. Carolina

Absolutely adorable!!!! I've been trying to learn to crochet, but I'm impatient. I want to create a project and not just loop after loop after loop. (sigh) Your cute project makes me want to attempt it again.

Very nice! I know how crocheting can engross you completely. the other day, I was looking at the last crochet project I did, a few years ago and nostalgia bit me lightly. Lovet the colorful flowers and leaves.
