Much Ado About Nothing...randomness

Not to much going on in our household today, for the past week I have been crocheting these little squares. I absolutely love how this one came out, don't you? 

Well today I am turning 8 of these beauties into the bodice part of a dress for my daughter.

I think they will compliment the dress beautifully. We introduced a new feline into our family a few days ago.

Isn't she gorgeous?! We chose the name Minerva for her and as you can tell our first kitty, KitKat, was very unsure about her, but I think they are starting to like each other. I've caught Kitkat being nice to her and she'll start to play with her and then she sees that I'm watching her and goes back to hissing.

Lazy Saturday

    Yesterday I finished these adorably cute flip flops, the green and gray pair I'm going to keep for Cass and give the other two pairs as gifts (everyone I know is having baby boys right now!).

   I love how they came out, think they are so very cute, don't you? If you didn't see the post from a few days ago, I got the pattern from Bethany over at Whistle & Ivy. I love this pattern, it's well written, very easy to do, especially if you are a beginner and, for us visual learners, she has a video too! Because I tend to crochet very tight, I had to use a size I (5.50) hook. I used Hobby Lobby's brand of I Love This Cotton.

 The colors I used for the green & gray pair are Sage (Lot # 166602) & Pewter (Lot #168104),

the blue and khaki, from the other two pairs, are Stonewash (Lot # 164659) and Taupe (Lot # 167547).



 

  This last week our weather has been extremely bad, thunderstorms every day, raining so much at one time that certain areas are having flash floods. I think we've had sunshine maybe once in this past week. I have decided in order to make it seem a little more cheerful, like spring is actually here I'm going to make my daughter a spring dress. I haven't quite decided what pattern I'm going to use for the bodice, but I do know that I'm using this beautiful butterfly fabric that I found at Wal-Mart and some more of the I Love This Cotton in Mulberry (Lot # 564099).

I think it's going to look beautiful together, wouldn't you agree? I can't wait to get started!
