Quick Easy Simple Gift

Made these chap stick/lip balm holders for Haley and Faith's friends. Just because I wanted them to have a trinket when Haley went to visit yesterday. And although I am a one project at the time kind of gal (shocking to some of my knitting/blogging friends out there {clears throat} Shelly!) I do like to change the pace sometimes with something quick and easy.

They are crocheted and not knitted!! Double shocker!

Footnote: I didn't put the lanyard because on the ones that I have previously I didn't like it.

Instant Gratification

Even though I have 2 projects on the needles sometimes it is required to put them aside for a day to do a couple of other quick projects.

Faith has been playing with her baby dolls and was searching high and low for a baby bib, so I knitted her one. She told me she'd like to see some flowers on the next one. Uhm okay! (The little button I used is a purple flower.)

Then for fun and no reason what-so-ever... I crocheted myself a change purse.

It was fun to do these quick, instant gratification projects. Maybe I should spend some more time doing this stuff? Maybe save it all up and sell it? Hmmm? Maybe after I finish the socks and sweater I've started, you know me can't have too many eggs in the basket!

Mommy Recharging Day

There are plenty of things I could be doing on this Sunday. Baking bread, washing the kitchen floor, stripping beds and washing sheets just to name a few on the top of my head. It is Sunday after all and even moms need to take a break.

I'm going to finally decide which buttons I bought should go on my new sweater, and put them on.

Spend some time crocheting on this afghan that will be a gift for a niece's wedding in August.

And maybe a little knitting on these socks I just started.

I'm going to call it "Mommy Recharging Day"!! I deserve it!
