One goal down

On this long road trip to Orlando from TN.... I set my mind to learning how to crochet. I have been trying for months to "get it".... I even took a class, had a friend show me how... and nothing! But just look at me now!!! whoo!!!!
I'm so excited! I have wanted to crochet for a long time. I can knit alittle... but knitting takes forever and for some reason I don't like working with knitting needles. However I seriously love working with the hook! The Bald Man says I'm obsessed. He just doesn't understand how bad I have wanted to be able to do this and couldn't get it... now that I've got it...

Well, I have already made another large round dishcloth AND I'm half way done with a scarf...
using one of those awesome mesh stitches!!
To those of you out there who have already conquered this wonderful needle art please tell me your favorite crochet books, website and anything else that would be helpful for a beginner. You can email me or just comment. I would appreciate it so much!
I'll post my scarf asap!

Lots of new stuff!!

I LOVE this bag.... Its another Ellen Medlock pattern. Its called the Karma Bag! My mom and I both took a class at the sewing expo 2 yrs ago and made one... but I didn't like the fabric they gave us so I gave it away.... and after 2 yrs I finally get around to making another one... In fabric I do like! This is vintage fabric from the attic of my great aunt in Nashville.... Mildred. The inside is lined with some adorable Scottie dog fabric I bought at Jo anns .... left over scraps from a wrap I made my mom for Christmas one year. The EXTRA awesome thing about this bag is its exchangeable because of the way the hardware is made.... just twist off two of the little tips... slide this purse off another on... twist caps on and you're off with a different bag! Now I gotta make some different bags to go with this! Which should help my ailing purse wardrobe.... cause I really love this bag! My B-day was last month (big 36!) and this is what mom gave me.... An adorable and much ne

New Donkey milk soap!

A new soap coming soon! This is Rosemary Lavender Donkey milk soap! Made with therapeutic essential oils, and premium ingredients like grape seed and sunflower oil! Purifying Clay and minerals give added benefits and pretty colors! I’ve been making homemade soap for several years now. I’ve always used the cold process method but after much research decided to try the hot process method. Mostly because with it I don’t add my milk until the end after the soap is cooling, the ph is balanced and the chemical lye is gone. Leaving behind correct ph pure soap.. which I then add my precious and highly skin beneficial donkey milk too. Looking forward to trying it and seeing it there is a significant difference!!  On the crochet front.. I’m pretty much crocheting everyday again now that I’ve decluttered all that fiber!!  So now I’m trying to get a handle on my supplies and organize.  I love being organized!! I’m not one of those people who can stash yarn in plastic tubs or under the bed! I’ll fo
