Ear Warmer

I made an ear warmer. Not because they are in style, but because my ears and forehead get cold, and when my forehead gets cold, it makes me unhappy. Especially if there is wind.

Here is my finished product:

I used the pattern here: Easy ear warmer pattern

I decided to sew the back together tho, since I just  made this for me. If I was going to be selling it, I'd have made it with a button so it could be adjustable. 

The flowers I fudged, but it's basically an "any flower" type thing.

Amazing Hookers, EVERYWHERE!

I've been thinking, and I think the next big project I'm going to undertake is going to be a full sized tote bag.

I found a free pattern at the store, and I'm gonna do it. I just need to decide on color, and get enough yarn and stuff. And, well, keep the little one out of it. . .

It all started when a friend tagged me in a picture on facebook. . .

It's a bag from CafePress. You can totally buy it for $15.

And, well, I want to see if I can DO a tote. The blanket I made was fun, but got tedious after a while. I figure, the tote pattern I got is made in pieces then sewn together. That should break the tedium, right?

Also, I'm thinking I need a produce bag. . . The plastic ones at the store kinda suck, and I'd really just like my own. So that's another pattern I'll have to look for or make.

Happy New Year!

I'd like to just take a moment and wish everyone a happy new year, and a blessed 2013.

Thank you for stopping by my blog every so often, and I hope you continue to enjoy my patterns and a glimpse into my crazy, messed up life.

Blessed Be,
