Looking Foward to Warmer Weather - Crochet Pattern: Simple Hairband

-
I was taking the time to catch up on some of my fellow blogers and read their posts. I stumbled across Jac-Ber Creations and their blog on Confessions from a Firefli's Trinket box blog. (I like small boxes too) I was curious of Jac-Ber Creations because of our similar names. There I found, now I can't remember exactly how, this great craft site Craft Passion. I could spend hours here wandering around, finding tutorials, patterns, things that get my creativeness going.

I found a free pattern for Simple Hairbands: Crochet Pattern: Simple Hairband craftpassion.com.

I know I can't be the only one who just has to get the hair up, off my neck and face, especially when the weather is warmer. This idea I love, because you can use leftover yarns. (I have lots of those now that I have been creating more items for my store.)

Here is my version. It took a little getting used to for me, but I eventually got in the swing of things and finished it rather quickly. This one is for me - I love purple. But they are really so easy to make I think I will make a bunch.

I hope you can have fun with it too!

    Hiya,
    Thanks for mentioning us :-)

    I love using all my odds and ends. I usually join up all the bits of yarn I have left and make an enormous ball and then crochet a scarf - ends up very colourful (and the girls I work with love them :-) )

    (I like your gear stick covers!)

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

-

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Toekini Anyone? It's GIVEAWAY time!

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
