Busy Busy Busy

I've been so gosh darn busy with the holidays. I have neglected this blog already. =( That's not a good sign. =D I hope that everyone can understand why I have not been posting lately. I have been shopping like crazy, visiting family, and of course decking out the house for the holidays and getting ready for the family to come over for Christmas. Please stay around. I will get this in full swing when the holidays are over.

Owl booties

OK so I started these owl booties last night. I had a mess up somewhere. They look legit but I'm short 2 stitches so I have to go back and do it again. I'm making them for a friend who's due in January but here's a pic of my booties.

I'll post the link to the pattern and when I'm finished post a finished pic.

Pattern found here: Owl Booties

 Fixed my boo boos and now have 2 booties with side buttons. I'll post the finished pic also after all done but as for now....

FINISHED!!!

A little about me and what I do.

I just started this blog today. I'm wanting to show what I have made, how to make things I'm making, or in the future will make, show people who I've made items from (their patterns I followed or inspired by their work), and reviews and tuts of stuff through pictures or videos.

I currently crochet, knit, loom knit, sew, and scrapbook. I just picked up scrapbooking and I have a very SMALL stash at the moment, but I'm working on building that up. Of course if you have any suggestions please fill free to leave comments on what I should start buying, or some things I should consider trying.

As for crochet, knit, loom knit, and sew, I have been doing those for a while now and greatly enjoy them. I have a terrific amount of yarn, and a decent amount of fabric to help go further in those crafts. I hope to show you everything I'm making and plan on making so you can make it too.

That's just a little about me. Here's a couple pictures of some things that I have done.

Crochet:

Sew:

All pants I make I follow this style of making them: Pant Tut

I haven't taken any pictures of the stuff I have scrapbooked since I am so new I'm still working on that, and as for knitting. I don't know why but I don't have any pictures available to me of what I have knitted. I will have to get some pictures.

Thank you for coming to The Crafting Nest, and please watch out for more posts, pictures, and videos to come.
