Trying my hand at new craft projects "Crochet"

I've always been a crafty person.  My mom was a sewer, sewing all us girls frilly dresses.  "Get-er-done" is what my husband has branded me with.  So naturally I am always looking for something new to learn.  I started crocheting when my own girls were born but fell away from the craft for many years.  Now that retirement has set in and we travel quite a bit I've picked it up again.

The Internet has been a great source for finding FREE patterns and You-tube videos are a must.  I found this first one "Crochet Flower Potstand" on lindevrouwsweb.blogspot.com and what a challenge it was.  But I loved the colors she used and have made so many of these since finding.  Here are just a few.

My first amigurumi crochet challenge was this little "Nosy-Kitty".  I found her on www.lilleliis.com and it was free as well.  Super cute and EASY to follow.

Love seeing all the awesome crochet projects people are doing.  It amazes me at how very talented and creative these people are.  So now I'm on the hunt for a new project and expanding more brain cells.

Fun to make…COWBOY Cooler.

Cowboy cooler made from pallet wood.  We made this for a christmas gift.  What fun, so easy to make and the recipient loved it. The wood was free so all we had to purchase was the cooler, a bottle opener for the side, drain faucet and embellishment for the front.  You can find this easy plan on:  http://www.homerepairtutor.com/how-to-build-a-rustic-cooler
