As a colorist, I'm drawn to color from everything I see...mostly fabrics, but I do have a yarn fetish that some of you may have already seen first hand. I'm a crochet-a-holic! Seriously, I can't stop! Anyone whose hooked on this crazy yarn addiction will know exactly what I'm talkin' about here.
Now, I have twins that help me along with this crazy application of turning scraps of yarn into anything you could possibly imagine up. They're into 'Angry Birds' these days...so, I thought it would be a fun idea to explore with my new found amigurumi applications. One of their friends birthdays was just around the corner...so, I decided to begin by choosing the 'Hungry Pig'. I started looking on line for a pattern or to...and wow, there were a whole lotta patterns goin' on out there! I love a challenge, and I'm one of those see and do type of girls. So, I picked up my G hook and some lime green yarn, and started crochetin' away....and this is what I came up with...

A fun bucket hat and a lil' ami pig...once the kids got home, they went a little crazy puttin' it all on display...I knew I had a hit! So, all wrapped up and in the bag it went...for one of the best birthday gifts yet!

Then, it was on the bigger and better things yet...fingerless mitts to match...

There's lots to be said for giving homemade...it all comes from the heart...so, how can you ever go wrong?! Well, personally, I don't think you can...especially when the recipient of these special gifts wears it straight out of the bag! Wish I had taken a pick of that...but, low and behold I forgot to bring my camera; never fails, right?! LOL! It was a great day had by all...the twins were in full spectrum in their after party gear...all dressed up in their priate diggs, and no place to go but home...now, we're getting ready for our birthday...it's #6 this year...whoop, whoop!

Can't wait...workin' on the details as we speak...thinkin' it might be double trouble here come the end of March! So, ahoy mates and get out your maps...wear headin' south to the caribbean for a treasure hunt party....arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg!

It's just one more crazy day in my life to date...verde' up!
