Cute Buttons & Ramblings

I was out just the other day to try to find the last item for my cocoa pal and pick up some stuffing when I ran across the craft dept. Imagine that..lol. I was just looking around until I ran across these...

I know the pic is dark, but when I used the flash it just washed them away, so you'll have to deal with it for now. :-) I thought with all the different swaps coming up they'd be real cute on my stitch marker holders or other items I've been trying to work on for my Etsy Shop.

I know you've all had those days where you set out to get some stuff done and it just seems like you do nothing but get sidetracked..lol thats been me lately. Hoping its just maybe a touch of Spring Fever. I like the cold and Vegas has been colder this year, but if its not gonna snow then bring back the 60 and 70's, make a longer Spring or actually give us a spring...lol

On the crochet front,

I made my February List for the Gift-Along. I put my cable sock on that list hoping maybe I'll get it done, geesh started it way back in what Nov?..lol Can't remember its been so long! I love that blog as I get projects done and always find more I'm doing in between, I just have a hard time coming up with things to make for gifts..thats always been the hard part, but at least I have kids who appreciate homemade gifts.

I also finished my hat for Megan, though I'm not too sure about it, its awfully hughe. (Amanda, does her mom need a hat to?) lol Don't have a pic of it yet, need to find something to put it on to do that or see if I can talk Crystal into modeling it for me..lol

I've also been trying to help poor Chan with her crochet project, not sure how or what else to do there...can't figure out how to explain hook placement..lol Thats a matter of all it is I think, she's doing great with the stitches, its just hook placement. I'll have to see what else I can come up with there. Might just have to redo the video and try and keep hands out of the way. :-)

On the Swaps front,

I keep in contact with both my pals, I was hoping to send out my Cocoa Swap today, but when you don't have the Hot Cocoa, thats changes plans alot. Thats the major part of that swap...lol I will have it out on Monday for sure. I have a post office run I need to do anyways. Thinking about taking this extra time and come up with a nametag for my "Buddy Buster" as it was named by everyone! I really can't wait to see what everyone else is making for "Buddy Busters". Some I've seen already are really cute!

My dishcloth pal seems really nice and very outgoing, I'm just having a hard time trying to figure out what to put in her package. Don't take long for making the dishcloths, just everything else..lol But I'm sure I'll figure that out, want to get the Cocoa Swap one finished up first.

Well, guess that about it for now, go work on some of my ideas and go get my Cocoa! Hope everyone has a great weekend!! All those with snow, please throw a snowball this way :-)

Everyone have a good one!!
