Need to make something quick for a present or want a simple fall project to start working on?  How about Granny's Skinny Scarf!  I'm definitely going to be making a couple of these as Christmas presents.  What's great about this pattern is it works up fast and can be made in so many different ways.  I like how it looks with the fringe.  If you want to make one for yourself or as a gift, you can get the free pattern here.

My first try at a crocheted coin purse.  Want to make one too? You can find this amazing tutorial (written in Spanish & English) here.  Want to buy it? You can find it in my Etsy shop.

Some of my recent crochet projects :)

Some pictures of soap orders I made for Mother's Day.  These soaps include unscented, lavender, chocolate hazelnut, and black raspberry vanilla scents.

These are very moisturizing lavender scented soap bars with shea butter.  Also my first crinkle cut soap.  I can't wait to try them out!

My first loaf of soap, this is a Tea Tree Shampoo Bar Loaf.  It turned out great except for it setting much quicker than I thought it would, so when I cut it the bars  kept breaking apart.  Also, check out my homemade soap loaf mold!

I can't stop thinking about making soap!

My first batch of homemade soaps! These are made with olive oil and canola oil.  The white ones are not scented, peach is vanilla, and light blue is lavender.  They smell amazing!  Now to wait 4-6 weeks before trying them out! Can't wait!

Another phone cozy, this one with a flap and better quality yarn.

Just finished a new iPhone cozy, with a pocket in the back to hold money, ID, lighter, etc.  Check it out at my shop!

I've really been lacking on my crochet.  I've been trying to finish a nyan cat scarf for my niece but for the past couple weeks I have been having the hardest time sitting down and focusing.  I have been focusing more on organizing my home and craft space, so I haven't been completely useless.  I really want to get more things in my shop and add more to this blog.  Hopefully that will be happening soon.

I just need to make a banner and then I'll officially be able to open my etsy store.
