It has been a while, Crochet Projects!!!

Heeeelllloooo There!!! (*waving*)

It has been quite a while since I've last posted anything on here! (I know right???) This is due to the Spring/Summer season is here and a big wave of new clients have been coming my way. Not to mention I have been working on some crochet projects:

The photo above was the "pieces" for my client's birthday goodie bags, all handmade: the bag, the whipped shea butter, and the sugar cube scrub daisies. With the help of my cousin, we made 9 crochet bags, hand-sew that fabric you see into the bags with a pocket & snap (to close), whipped up some shea butter, made single use sugar cube body scrubs.

I am soooo mad at myself, though! When we finished up the packaging I realized that I didn't have any (charged or extra) batteries in my digital camera (the cellphone's camera did no justice)!!! WHY WHY WHHHHHYYYY!!!!

It was so pretty to see 9 bags already to go to give to the ladies in attendance! Hopefully, someone else will ask me to do a "Goodie Bag" set for their next birthday party or ladies night get-together or something....maybe you?? hint hint ;-)

I did a few hats as well but, this one in particular I really like because it's big enough to hold my fro and even chin-length locs. It's in the tam style with a brim, all black:

Next on the list of projects are 2 sets of threaded earrings and a crochet cellphone cozy:

 I made the Red Black & Green earrings for my mother-in-law and the other earrings with cozy are for a friend of mine (a gift that is waaayyy past due!).

Well that is all for now. I will post more since I have 3 more hats and newborn baby set to make....
stay tuned for those photos and also for more hairstyling show posting!

New Project: Crochet Hoop Earrings

Hey!!

I came across a crochet book by a sista in Atlanta named Afya Ibomu. I found it because I wanted to learn how to make crochet earrings, bracelets, tops, and other clothing accessories.


She had a wonderful pattern to make earrings with cabone rings (cabone rings are used to hold curtains in place). I couldn't find any in Michaels or any of the local craft stores. I did find it on eBay but, I didn't want to wait....

So, I used a pair of silver hoop earrings I already had as the frames for this beautiful project! Happy I had them yay yay! I call them "PrettyPenny" (named after my nickname) because the yarn color is close to copper in color.

They are not perfect but, hey it's my 1st time! lol anywho I am ready to try it again & again & again...

Until next time!

Tree Braids Models & Crochet Projects

Hey there,

Been a while since I made a post. I've been doing a lot of client's hair for this rainy season.

In February, I wanted 4 models - my search is semi-complete - I have 3 models. Very happy about that. I will be taking before and after photos of this style so, the beauty can be seen.

I'm also excited that I'm working on my crafts projects again.
I made a matching hat & scraf set - all crocheted my me - for my daughter, threaded earrings & rasta styled beanie set for these rainy days!

I wanted to show off my craft work more to come soon....
Thanks for reading!

Craft Project: Check out these Threaded Earrings!

For Christmas I treated myself to learning the art of Peruvian Threaded Earrings. I am so happy with how fun and easy it was to assemble. In my excitement I made a pair of earrings (on the 1st try might I add) for my cousin's Christmas Present (see above).

What do you think?? It is a Brown frame with Orange, White, and Lavender colored shiny embroidery thread. They are 6-1/2" (I think) from the ear hook to the bottom in a tear drop shape.

In my excitement I posted the photo on my facebook page and now one of my friends from college ask for one as well. Done and Done! I found eBay (oh I looooveee eBay!!) 100 colors of embroidery thread - ordered and shipped - now I have them and I don't know where to begin!!

Elated!! is the word I have frame wire in different colors so stay tuned for photos the results!
