Slouchy Hat

Check out my Slouchy Hat http://jessicasuzanne.com Check under free patterns.

I thought this pattern was SUPER easy. For some reason some hat patterns are hard for me to grasp. But this one flew.I used Vanna's Choice Yarn 1 skein of 110gms. was plenty.

One of these days I will use my head to model. I am camera shy. HAHA. Plus I have a big head so sometimes the hats don't fit me. I tryed a hat from Lion Brand's website (Last Week) and it was way to small.

I really like to make hats they are 1 skein projects and cute gifts for people.

Blue Stitch Markers

Stitch Markers

This was my first attempt at stitch markers. I used drop earring loops that I got from the craft store. I know they were diffierent lengths, but I like them this way for crochet projects. Hopefully I will get better with my camera.

Here is my little girl Jewel Dog. She is a Bichon Frise.We were waiting for grandma to come for a visit. Jewel likes to wait on the couch.

Loopy Scarf

Loopy Scarf Tool
I bought this little kit from my local yarn store awhile back.

I thought it was a hard to do at first but after wrapping the yarn around the plastic piece a few hundred times I got the hang of it. I love the yarn it is a Boucle type(very soft). I should have bought 2 skeins of the yarn to make it longer. I like my scarfs long.

Just a little personal note I am feeling a little better. I went to my doctor and he changed 3 medicines. We will see how that goes.

1 st. Snow this season

Do you see the turkey???? over on the left in the back of the picture is a flock of turkeys. and in the middle of the picture is one.

Love Snow. Peaceful and quite

I woke up to snow everywhere this morning. I had to go to my mother-in-law's house this morning and this is what her backyard looked like.

This is the front of her house. She lives near a animal reserve of land and we see all sorts of wild life.

Trying to breathe

PERSONAL NOTE TODAY ( I was feeling sad and having a hard time breathing) I normaly don't rant and moan except to my loving and wonderful husband.

ASTHMA

What is it?????

Constriction of the air ways due to pollutants which causes swelling of the air ways and creates mucus overload.

That's my take on Asthma

I have had it all of my life. Yeah Lucky me. Lately I have had a very hard time of it. I have been a Medical Assistant since 1989. Now I can't go to work. I can't breathe long enough to last 4 hours at a job. So now we don't have health insurance. I am trying sooooo HARD not to go in the hospital.

My asthma was under control for 18 years now I feel like I am going to die. Just black out and never wake up.

I know there are worse things to have in life. BUT

It is sooo hard to breathe sometimes. Go figure. Most people take it for granted. But I don't.

Just to take a deep breath.

Thats all I want to do.

Scarfs You can't have to many of them.
My newish book is Stitch'n bitch crochet The Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller

I used red hart super saver yarn. Very easy pattern to do. To me this is mindless crochet. You can be ingrossed in watching tv and finish this in about 2 or 3 hours.

There are a few cool patterns in this book. My local yarn shop did not have the book so I had to order it online. For some reason my LYS does not carry ANYTHING about crochet. What's up with that??? She told me she would try to order a few books on crochet.
