A Tale of Two Yarns.

So I LOVE to Crochet, I follow all kinds of Crochet pinboards on Pinterest. Lately I've been learning how to crochet hearts, one pattern you can see I succeeded in in the previous posting.

Another Pattern I really liked, I came to find out was in some Slavic language, I took it to google translate and the translated pattern SEEMED doable... but turns out, they have different lingo for crocheting there and half way through the project I got Lost.... This was the result:

SAY WHAT?
This was supposed to be the end result:Pretty Heart

Alas that didn't work out, however my daughter's "Baby" Named "Baby" has been naked for sometime so I found an awesome pattern for an infant dress to dress her in, and succeeded in making it. HINT: the pattern calls for 3oz of yarn, but in actuality it took about 6oz. 

I made her a matching headband too! Message me if you'd like a pattern to the headband, The dress pattern can be found

And with some of the left over yarn, I made my cat a Toy :)

Now I know what you're thinking.. What's for Lunch?? Well, I found a splendid and easy recipe that I absolutely HAD to try. It had three of my favorite things in it.. what is it? Well I will tell you, Mozarella, Avocado and Tomato Salad.... Delicious AND healthy!

RECIPE HERE!

Now I have two cats, Juliet and Jubilee, and between the two of them and my two year old sometimes my apartment begins to smell a little funky... so I found this awesome Idea on pinterest where you put whole coffee beans in bowls with tea lights and the fire from the tea light makes the coffee smell spread wonderfully. I went to my local grocery store and poured myself some vanilla coffee beans, and at Joanne's they were selling cheap heart shaped bowls for valentines day, so I bought TWO. The end result is splendid, my apartment is now festive and smelling like a vanilla latte.. MMMM!!!

THE PIN!

Stay tuned: coming up next week, more yarn hearts, a craft made from oatmeal cylinders, and special Valentines day treats!
