I Want This...

There are very few things that I really want...right this minute. But this book, is definitely on the top of my list! I just can't find it anywhere! Not at any of our bookstores. And I'm just too cheap to buy it online. What is a girl to do? I just wish I had this book in my hands, right this second. :)

Monkey Business

The minute I seen this crochet book, I just had to have it! You know, for our "Baby Cakes." :) I got it in the mail today. And I almost died from the cuteness factor! I'm thinking of making the blue blanket, but in green. Or some other neutral color. Because I just can't wait until my 20th week. No, I can't! And that seems to be a "safe" bet.

Cuddle Cocoons

Since I found out I was pregnant, all I've wanted to do is crochet. Crochet cute baby things. When I seen this book, I just had to have it. I ordered it, the day after I found out I was pregnant. But with all this "morning sickness" and "busy-ness" that we've had going on, I kinda forgot about my book.

A few nights ago, I was cleaning out my nightstand, and I found my book! I immediately went running to my craft room. What you don't know is, I was going to bed. Had my pjs on, teeth brushed, face washed, halfway in bed. And I went digging around for yarn.



I stayed up another 2 hours. To just get a "cuddle cocoon" started. In a neutral color. Since we don't know if our "Baby Cake" is a boy or a girl. I can't wait to finish it up!

Red Riding Hood

I just bought this book. I really want to see the movie. And after talking to Lola, she said I had to read the book first. I agree. I like to read the book, before watching the movie. I'm so happy that Lola and I talked. I like to imagine up the story in my head, then watch the movie.

I know that most of the time, I'm a little disappointed with the movie. But I hate to watch the movie, and then read the book. It feels more disappointing that way.

Now I need to show some self restraint. You know, I need to study. But I think this book is going to be a good distraction. As long as I keep it as a "distraction." And remember that I need to study first!

Pretty Doilies

While I was scanning through Annie's Attic, I came across this book. Pineapple Doilies. And now I want it! I don't do a lot of thread crochet. But this book makes me want to start. Aren't these just the cutest? I think I'm going to go buy this beauty. I wonder if it's available at JoAnn's? I have a 40% off coupon. :)

Knitting

I'm starting to feel like Lola. I want to learn how to knit. Really badly! The "knitters" just seem to get all the really cute patterns. The patterns that I want to make. Can I knit? Can I think past the idea of crochet? Because this book, it is just screaming my name!

Yummy Crochet

Do you remember when I blogged about Twinkie Chan? It was a few years ago. As in, when I first started to blog. I really liked her work. But she didn't sell her patterns. And I was so sad!

I must have been under a rock or something. Because she has a book! I saw it today. When I was strolling around Barnes and Noble. I had to pick it up. No second thoughts. I just bought it!



All I can think of right now, is crocheting something yummy. This book just has me craving yarn to crochet with. And something sweet to eat! First on my list, those cupcakes!

Baby Blanket

Pretty Pastels.....

A while back, OK a long while back, Lola and I went to Michael's. We have to drive over an hour to the nearest one. It is in the nearest large city to us. It has been a while. Really it has! It was before my hubby and I got married. Probably, at the beginning of last October. Because we went to buy some things for my bridal shower. Lola had wanted me to pick out the ribbon and stuff like that.

But I had a 40% off coupon from the newspaper. And I was just dying to use it! But I didn't know what to buy. Because Lola was buying the stuff for the shower, and she had her own coupon. So I wondered over to the crochet books. And got lost in them. I found this one. It just called to me. I bought it! I didn't have a reason to, I just bought it. At the time, I don't think any of my friends were expecting. But I am glad that I bought it!

Our friends Anna Marie and Joe are expecting their 2nd baby. They don't know whether the baby is a boy or a girl yet. But I am going to make a pink blanket. I am using the 2nd pattern from this book, Pretty Pastels. And I am using Red Heart Soft Baby in pink. The brighter pink that they make. I bought it yesterday at Hobby Lobby. I really like this color!

Anna Marie is due in November. And the baby isn't cooperating with them. They have tried to find out if the baby is a boy or girl. But baby doesn't want them to know. I am going with pink because they already have a gorgeous little girl, Eva! :)

Amigurumi World

I just bought this book. And I'm so excited to start a few new projects. Everything is so cute in Amigurumi World. I wish I would have bought it sooner. But it's better late than never. Right? If you crochet, this is a book you need to buy. ASAP! Now I just need some more yarn. :)
