I've been busy today making these new designs! There will even be patterns to buy if you crochet yourself!
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! Its ME your favorite Master Crafter, at it again and here to show you my LATEST creations...WREATHES!! I know, I know, you're thinking "But Miss, Christmas isn't till December" and you'd be right if these were CHRISTMAS Wreathes, what they actually are are UNIVERSAL FLOWER WREATHES!! thats right, all these wreathes come with the flowers on the buttons so you can change them out with other flowers to change the look to what ever event or season you want. Is your favorite team going to the super bowl? Put some flowers in your favorite team colors. Is Christmas coming? better bust out the holly leaves and poinsetta flowers. I could go on but i think you get the point. the Wreathes start at $15 for a premade, $20 if you wish to design your own with a selection of flowers and replacement/additional flowers ranging from $1 to $5 so you can never run out of ideas. So i look forward to your order and keep in mind what colors you would want yours to be as well as what shape you would prefer.
Enjoy everyone and HAPPY HOOKING!! GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! That title is a LOVELY sentiment isn't it? I love it and i love flowers in my hair but unfortunatly i have found that to be difficult if you have a..well let's call it the OPPOSITE of a green thumb. I love flowers but i can't keep them alive long enough to enjoy them year round. So what's MY solution? SIMPLE ....HEADBANDS!! That's right, Headbands, these simple soft and elegant crochet bands all come with a simple button to attach a crochet flower to it so you can wear flowers in your hair every day. And if you get a few extra flowers of different designs you can almost ALWAYS have a flower for every occasion. Headbands with a flower are $15 and additional flowers range from $1 to $5 depending on how elegant and aristocratic you wish it to be. all in all, its a fairly small investment to look stylish, chic, and ALWAYS have a flower in your hair year round.

Its me, your favorite crafter back again, only THIS time I'm not showing something crochet like I have been, but rather, I am showing one of my true passions....ART! I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and I find it fun, challenging, relaxing, and all around wonderful. That being said when a friend said she wanted a unique gift for her sister and she wanted it on canvas I JUMPED at the opportunity. All that being said, THIS is what I created, the infamous "CHEF DONALD" making waffles with rubber cement. It started off life as a pencil on canvas which I used a fine brush and India Ink to ink over the graphite creating a unique sketch feel on canvas. personalize with a custom message and VIOLA one unique gift that no one can ever duplicate. Well that's all we have for today so enjoy everyone and HAPPY HOOKING!!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! I'm back again with this weeks showcased project. and what is on the menu for today...WHY HATS OF COURSE!! Whenever someone thinks of crochet they often think of blankets and socks but you can make some really AWESOME crochet hats as well, all it takes is a little skill, some yarn, and some IMAGINATION!! On that note, in the pictures below, are several hats that i have made in the past as gifts or costumes. From elder god Cthulhu, to Minions, Cabbage Patch Doll Hair, Daisy Duck to numerous Frozen characters, the ones I have posted below i made purely for fun and I am not selling them for legality reasons. I post these pictures so i can show off what i have done and am capable of creating so if you have any requests or ideas, feel free to let me know because commissions are always accepted. Now that we have all that legal stuff out of the way feel free to scroll down and enjoy my lovely head warmers, guaranteed to keep you nice and toasty on those cold Florida winter days, all 3 of them.
On a side note, i wish to be a proud mama bear and wifey for a moment, The "Living" models of some of my hats in the pictures below are of my youngest daughter Rain and my super supportive hubby Mitch. Neither of whom (or my other daughter River) any of this could have happened. Thank you family. Enjoy AND HAPPY HOOKING!! Welcome everyone to the first post of Hooked By A Thread.
