Crochet Newsboy Cap Video Tutorial

WOW! Making this video tutorial was certainly a learning experience:)  I was thinking no problem whip the hat up in a couple of hours and away we go!  

What I wasn't counting on was the interruptions forgetting where I was, knocking over the camera,  verbal blunders and then of course out right errors when I was talking ie: saying the wrong round - and then of course the curse words that followed when I realized I had done that.

I now know how to dub over videos, slice it up into pieces, add "annotations", and now realize that something you might think will take only a few hours can turn into days.  In the long run... totally worth it and excited to do more.  

Please share this link with anyone you know who keeps saying "I want to learn to crochet" I would love to hear feed back because anything I can do to help make things easier I want to do.

The full pattern can be found here, make sure you read it over and have all the materials on hand.

 

So ready?  Here we go... This video had to be divided into 3 parts to upload so here they are in order.

Have fun:)

Halloween Fun!

Halloween is one of those holidays that sneaks up on me every year.  I keep thinking of all the fun things I want to do with the boys and the costumes I want to make.  Then it is here and I have barely scratched the surface of what I want to do.  

This year - Pinterest helped to keep me organized.  I found a few ideas on there and voila when time was catching up I knew exactly where to find some great ideas.

Here is what my house looked like.  For the food ideas I got off Pinterest you will find the links below:)

GREAT TREATS

 Be sure to check out this blog she had such wonderful ideas - that I personally could not resist!

A few fun and really quick craft ideas for the boys.  Somewhere I saw a picture of these bats made from egg cartons.  They were so simple and the boys just loved making them.

The spiders were a little more difficult my 6 year old could make them and figured out how to do the legs but my 4 year old simply directed me on what to do. (What else is new!)

Ahhh Halloween probably the only time that my dead plants and a rotting pumpkin actually added to the decor!

Now to start planning for Christmas:)
