Just when you thought crocheting was for Granny...



Yep.....it's an actual "Hamburger dress" that was created entirely by crocheting & sewing!

Holy imaginative skill batman......I am SOOOOO freakin jealous that someone could be that talented and creative with crochet.

.............

Although I am nowhere near as talented as Joy, I would like to share my latest burst of crochet energy. I believe you might enjoy it - It WAS and IS truly something to behold.

So for your viewing pleasure I am posting pics of latest crochet venture:
Hope you enjoy!!!
(details of this collections to follow)


So there you have it - my very first attempt at an "ensemble"
What' s that? It's not what you were expecting?
Well to be honest....it's not what I would have expected for my first venture
in multiple matching pieces.
This "collection" evolved out of a conversation I was having one slow afternoon, with one of my favorite co-workers. The possibility of crocheting a thong had truly NEVER entered my mind until we had that conversation. Once the idea was suggested, the collection just sort of evolved on it's own. It was created over a long weekend and was presented proudly to my friend. She promptly turned beet red and slipped the pieces into her cubby until she went home for the day.
I did make her PROMISE to put the whole ensemble on for her husband - which by the way I believe she did. My understanding is that it got good reviews!!!!

Not too shabby eh?

......................

The weather FINALLY warmed up a bit and when I say warmed up, I mean went from the temps in the 'teens to temps in the upper 30's and low 40's.
It is a banner heatwave I say!!!

......................

I would like to send out a special SHOUT OUT to my friend Dani over at Life Induces thoughts, mostly random. She and her family are having one heck of a time!
I am thinking of her and if you have a second - please send her some hugs.
She most certainly needs them!!!!!

.......................


She may be getting big and growing up BUT she's still my "fur baby"!!!

nearly had me wet myself.
THANKS JENN!
Love the ensemble, and am absolutely sure Jim will too.

Sort of a naughty dress up for the wintery months. LOVE it.

thanks for sharing!
my verification word? chongi.
which I think is perhaps the word for a transitional season thong.
