Crocheting for Baby Yoda

 

Made baby Yoda, aka "Grogu"a new outfit with matching bag for his trinket and because it's cold outside, a crochet hat to help keep him warm.  I was browsing through my phone images and saw that I had crochet him an outfit before. Comparing the other crochet sweaters I made him, this color combo was best.  So with a little upgrade in the pattern, I crochet him a new full body sweater in two town of brown.  I just used an acrylic yarn from Joann Fabrics.

if you guys are interested in a tutorial or pattern, leave me a comment below.

My New Year Resolution is NO SHOPPING! for 2024

 I will not buy no

1. New or Old clothes
2. Shoes
3. Any kind of electronic Gadget (even the one on my list right now like the Apple Air Tag.  or I might just buy them before 2023 ends.
4. Yarn

What I will buy and need to purchase are:

1. Hygiene products (pads, tooth paste, toothbrush and soap). I already don't use deodorant or any perfume.  But that's another subject.
2. Household cleaning products.  that's a must have right.  I got to wash dishes and do laundry.  So I'm gonna need laundry detergent.  But I don't use none of those dry sheets, or fabric softener.

and since Amazon.com has sent notification that they are going to include advertisement to Prime Video, I am planning to get rid of it.  I'm paying it off and goodbye to Amazon.com No more prime day no more late 2 day shipping.  No more fake Amazon reviews.  No more shopping with Amazon.  Let see how long this will last :)

Christmas & Crochet

 Christmas and crochet, a cozy pair

With yarn and hook, we show we care From stockings to sweaters, scarfs and more We create gifts, that will forever be adored

The fire is crackling, the tree is lit With each stitch made, our hearts knit The yarn is soft, like falling snow As we make something beautiful, for those we know

With every loop and knot, we put our love Into every gift, like a glove The colors are bright, the patterns unique As we make something special, that will make hearts speak

Christmas and crochet, a joyous thing Together, our love for each other will always sing So let us gather, hook and yarn in hand And make something beautiful, that will forever stand

Merry Christmas & Happy Crocheting!!

Pimping my Bike with Crochet

 

I got a plastic basket from the Dollar Tree and crochet a  cover for it to match my bicycle color scheme.

Thank I added a water bottle holder to hang on the handle bar

I love the progress so far.

Crochet Bicycle Skirt Guard

My 3rd attempt.  So working on another version.  Apparently 15 rows is enough height but I am over 3 or 4 rows too much.

I also would like to make saddle seat cover and another large basket to sit on my rear rack.  As I stated on my last post.  I wanted to use this bike as a way to advertise my crochet around town.  Here is a sample of what the actual plan looks like:

I’m gonna zip tie yard sign on each side of the rack.  This is a standard size yard sign (18x24)

I’m excited.  Will post more update soon.

Got a new beach cruiser

 We were visiting a pawn shop last month.  And bought this not so new beach cruiser bicycle.  

Stay tune to see how I’m planning on yarn bombing this bike.  Okay maybe not a yarn bomb more like a “pimp my ride with crochet”.

And I think it will be a great idea to attach my yarn sign to help me advertise my crochet around town.  

Bought this bike in November 29.  I’ll be posting more about this project very soon.  So stay tune.  

I got a new Shuttle Bus

 Well. It’s not new.  I won it on an auction.  And I think I got a pretty good price for it.  

Yes, I won it at a auction.  A 2014 Ford Econoline Cutaway.   It’s a 450 series.  I have many plans for it.  Maybe a bus conversion???? Or a crochet bus?  Deck out like it puked crochet???  Lol!!  But I am very excited and happy with my new Shuttle Bus.  

This is actually the 2nd bus I won in a government auction.  The first one was a not so short schoolie bus.  It was a 30 passenger bus with a chair lift.  Right now it serves as a storage.  But I have plans for both.

Quick update:  JANUARY 1, 2024

YES, Its New Year’s day.

I love the fact that I can fold the seat down and fold them away sideways towards the walls or windows.  Now I have an ope floor plan.  I had a chance to give a quick sweep and wipe down last week. 

Repurposing an Old Tshirt for adding Tags for My Crochet Goods

 

I am so excited about my new DIY tags.  You probably have seen those beanies with custom leather tags added to them.  I just thought those are so adorable and added the ultimate customization and branding to any crochet or handmade wear.  But I thought there must be a way for me to create my own tags without using any animal skin.  And Yes there is.  

These are made using a Tshirt that I messed up during production.  I do Tshirt for a full time job.  So I have plenty of Tshirts from production that misprints or have some errors.  And Instead of throwing them away… I kept most or some.  

  These is how they are made:  

I used a dark paper transfer.  I was able to make 46 tags per T-shirt.  But I’m pretty sure you can triple  or quadruple the amount you can print on a Tshirt.  Because all you have to do is fill the Tshirt with Transfer Paper.  

I used a 11x17 heat transfer paper and printed on a regular inkjet.

But you can simply used 8.5 x 11 on any inkjet printer.
