Sock Monkey

I have been making these sock monkey hats since I was pregnant with my Daughter!
I can make them in Infant Sizes for either a boy or a girl

I also make them in Childrens sizes for a boy or a girl

I also make Adult Sizes for a man or a woman

I can make them in any color combination you would like

Busy, Busy, Busy

I am currently working on an order for 9 Sock Monkey Hats for my Friend Sydney! 

I am going to try and update this blog more often!

I found the Cutest stretchy decorative Trim at Hobby Lobby on Monday for the purpose of making head bands for Kylar, or to sell with my Crocheted flowers. They came on a roll with 15 feet for $2.99 however they were having 1/2 off, so Not too bad. I should be able to get about 12 headbands out of 1 spool. I also bought Light Pink and  Hot Pink. I am obsessed! :) Here are a few pictures!

November 3, 2011

Well, what an adventure I have been on in the last year! I won't go into details (there are too many) but I will tell you that I am a Mommy again! I had a little girl Kylar Dean Haught on September 27, 2011. She is the light of my life, and I absolutely LOVE TO CROCHET for her!

Long Time, No Update!

Good Grief, I can't believe it has been almost a year since I have posted on here! A lot of things have changed. I don't have the time right now to go into details. I will post later on.

STASH!

It has been quite a year for Stash-Busting! I ended up selling a Lot of yarn on eBay and I also had a couple Yard-Sales. I am down to about 11 Containers of yarn.

Update, Again!

Well it has been another 4 months since I have posted.

I was officially Divorced March 18, 2009.

I lost my job at Sonic on April 7, 2009. The day After my 28th Birthday. The came in and told me they were buying out my 23% of the store and I couldn't work there anymore. I worked for this Sonic for 6 years straight, and now My Girlfriend isn't even allowed on the lot. I won't spend any money there since they told her she had to leave and they couldn't serve her.

I Started working at my new job at Shell 4 Weeks ago. It's not too bad of a job, we are under new management already, since the Manager and Assistant Manager walked out last Monday! The new Manager is nice though, seems to really care about the store and always makes sure we have product on our shelves!

Nikolas will turn 8 years old in 4 Days! June 18, 2009! He will be in Florida with his Grandma and Papa. His Papa's daughter is getting married and he is tagging along. Vacation for him.
Nikolas has been taking Swimming lessons and doing GREAT!!! He can actually put his face under water completely, without holding his nose, and he can even open his eyes. (I can't even do that)

Thank you to the readers that actually read this! I appreciate the comments! Have a great Summer and I will update again in a couple of months if not sooner!

Update!

Well, holy geez a lot has happened in the last 9 Months! I cannot believe it has been that long since I have posted!

1. I took over as Working Partner at my Sonic Drive-in!
2. I am in the process of getting a divorce from my husband!
3. I now have a Live-in girlfriend, yes I did say girlfriend, I can't deny the fact any more that I am gay.
4. I moved into a town house apartment, believe my my 40 totes of yarn don't fit all that well, but I am going to make it work!

Nobody ever reads this blog I am sure, so it is probably pointless to post this on here but I figured I would post an update since it has been almost 9 months.

I am hoping to go through my stash of Yarn, Books, Hooks and Notions and get some things listed on eBay, but with working 50+ hours a week, having a girlfriend and trying to get my husband to let me see my son, its a bit much.

I love comments so if any one reads this leave me a message/comment!

Thanks,

Pamela

D. A. V. Thrift Store Find

I went to the D.A.V. Thrift store today when I went to town and I got 44 crochet & Plastic Canvas Leaflets - I'll get some pictures posted as soon as I get around to sorting them! I was just so excited I had to post!

FO: Flannelghan

I finished the flannelghan I've been wanting to make since I finished the Sherbert flannelghan last year.
I used RH Super Saver Yarn in Claret (r) and Light Sage (g) I ended up using 4 and a partial of each color. I love the way it turned out. The edging is sc one row of gg, gr, rr




Leave comments on how you think it looks, I'd love to hear them.

OT: Movies

I just thought it would be fun to post the movies I watch and what I thought of them.

Death Sentence - Really a good movie if you like the shoot em up kill em dead type o movies (I do sometimes) Has Kevin Bacon in it, which was a pretty good role for him.

Sunshine - An interesting movie to say the least - You have to watch it to know what I'm talking about. Has Cillian Murphy from "Red Eye" and Chris Evans from "Fantastic Four"

On another note I am attempting to stash bust for the Stash-Busting CAL at the Ville. SO far I am at +4 which is pretty good for me. I have not bought any yarn at all this year, doing good 2 weeks in.

I'm trying to make some extra money from home, to pay for my Crochet Spending Habit! If you are interested in earning money by completing easy tasks and taking surveys click on the link below it contains my Referral code.
