Oh Yeah?!!!!

I have a confession to make.

I am a raging bull in a china shop if you even THINK about telling me I cant do something.

I will take the "NO", "IF", or "I bet you cant ......" that comes from your lips and I will run with it, toss it around by the tail, stick a pointy horn into its rear end and yell: "OH YEAH????! WATCH ME!"

Be warned. Don't stand in my way or make a noise if I am trying to do what it is that I have set out to do. You know... that thing you think I cant do? You might get hurt. It doesn't matter if the only person using these terribly negative words is the little devil inside my head. I'll still rip into it like it was a red rag in a bullfighting ring.

So when the little voice in my head said yesterday: "I bet you cant make a circle into a square, into a star, then back to a circle then a square again can you?" What do you think happened?

I DID NOT SLEEP A WINK last night. The yarn was flying the hook was raging and my brain was fried! But guess what! I managed it! Yeah! To that little voice in my head that said "I bet you cant" ..... UP YOURS!




I'll tell you, it's a good thing that this bull doesn't react to the word "dare". You never know what might have happened. Maybe I would have jumped out of an aeroplane with nothing but an umbrella for a parachute; or dived headlong into a river in the middle of the worst drought in history. If the bull reacted to Dares ..... Gah! I'd hate to think!


As you can imagine, I am exhausted tonight, so off to bed with my pretty little head. I'll try to post the pattern up for you all tomorrow.

Sleep tight!

Rainbow beanies




I found the most FABULOUS rainbow yarn yesterday and just HAD to make some beanies!
Moda Vera "Fern". Such yummyness!

I thought I would share the pattern for FREE so you too can play.

Skill level needed for this pattern is EASY- intermediate at a stretch.

The fabric ends up nice and stretchy so that there is no trouble getting it onto babies heads, warm and fuzzy enough to be cute, without being so fluffy that its unusable. :)
Maybe have some fun and add some flowers?

You can find the pattern for preemie sizes here.

If you need help with the crab stitch (reverse single crochet....  Crochet Geek has a great Youtube tutorial.

There are a number of Charities around the world that need donations of beautiful handmade items for families who have had a premature baby or suffered the loss of a child. Here are a just a few:

Australia
Little Angels Memory Boxes
Angel Baby
Chances Clothes Project

United Kingdom
Upon Butterfly Wings


United States
Heavens Angels
Calvins Hats


The pattern for larger sizes  (newborn - adult) will go  up on the blog tomorrow. Until then.... Happy Hooking!
