Octopus....Octopi....

So pretty much I am making one with yarn I bought and love!  Retail therapy.  I know bad me.  So anyway I'm making one for myself but am going to be making a bunch of them because they are easy to make.  So I'm going to make a bunch to give out randomly to people.  Probably work friends and just randomly leave them for those that need a smile.

Gloves 3

Alright so I bought the yarn for this with the jellyfish.  It's purple and was on sale.  Bunny really can't leave me unatended by the yarn isle.  This is what happens when he does.

Jelly Fish

So I have got to stop buying yarn when I'm emotional.  So this is going to go with the big commision.  This one is a free one on me.  I can't help it I have been seeing these guys all over.  So I a finially making one of my own.

Cowboy Up

My nephew is about due.  So I'm working on things for him.  I love that little Peanut!  If you haven't guessed from the title he is getting a cowboy set.  This will be a vest, boots, chaps, and a diaper cover.

Big Commision

Alright so I have a friend who is having a baby and today I talked with him and the mother about what they wanted for the baby.  So this is kind of a list of what they want and progress on it.

2 Blankets
-Whale scene with Aaron James  Name has changed to:

2 Booties
-Purple and White
-Green and Blue

3 Mittens
-New born
-Purple and White
-Green and Blue

2 Hats
-Purple and White
-Green and Blue

Basketball Onesie

2 Surprise toys(No monkeys)


This is a lot to do.  I'm going to go shopping virtually and see what I can find and maybe get some tips from some fellow crocheters on how to do the graphghans.  This is going to be fun.

Okay so I saw the person who requested this and had given him an estimate of how much it would cost for the yarn.  I didn't calculate for the taxes and did tell him that when I gave him his copy of the list.  What I calculated was about 326.50, keep in mind I rounded all prices to the nearest $.50.  So I hope to have money by Saturday/Sunday so I can go shop on Monday/Wednesday.  So that way I can get started on that stuff for him. 

Also the baby's name has changed.  After I already got the graphs printed.

First yarn haul done.  Had a budget of $40 got enough to start the whale blanket and still need the correct spelling of the name.  Planning on starting the whale part and then adding the name later.

For those wondering about the payments thing at the bottom I'm just doing that so I can keep track of the payments made and what he still owes me.

Second haul done.  Got stuff for the hats/booties/gloves.  Again budget of $40 and he knew I was planning to get the stuff for anything but the blankets.  This is going so well.
