My favorite scarf

Sierra is modeling my favorite crocheting project. This scarf is crocheted with strips of fabric and fun fur yarn. What I enjoy most about this is picking out different prints of fabric and joining them together. The best time to shop for the fabric is after Halloween. The clearance Halloween fabric is the best selection and of course the price is right. Black Friday is my favorite day to shop for Halloween fabric and stock up on the deals of fabric. Bright and early you will find me at Jo-Ann Fabrics stocking up on the deals. I also made a hat to match, but Sierra was not eager to model. When winter is here and the temperatures drop she will be begging me to wear my hat.

Hat and Scarf

Anissa my daughter loves new crocheted items for the upcoming winter season. She is modeling a slouch hat and curly scarf. These are a favorite among the teens. I have already crocheted a few for their girlfriends as birthday presents. Of course, Anissa and Sierra would love more in different colors. I better get busy crocheting.

Here is link to the pattern for the hat.

Sock Monkey Card

I think I am liking the "Sock Monkey" set more and more! Card made by a fellow Stampin Up! Demonstrator. I may have to add this set to my collection.

Smile Card

A little card inspiration! Stampin Up! stamp set "Pick A Petal" was used to make the face.

Yarn Over And Crop With Osewcrafty!

Welcome to my blog! I have enjoyed many hobbies over the years, and thought it would be fun to start a blog about some of my favorites. I enjoy crocheting, scrapbooking, stamping, cardmaking and sewing. I want to share my favorite patterns, ideas, and photos of some of my projects.

Since crafting is a big part of who I am, I opened a retreat house for women to spend time enjoying their crafting. The Hen House Retreat is my home away from home to craft with my friends. Visit my website at http://www.henhouseretreat.com/.

Let's blog!
