More scarves and now Hats too

I tried to post this a few days ago, but Blogger won't sync up to my phone any more. So, let's try this with the PC.
I'm still playing with my sewing machine (still haven't gotten up the courage to try out the embroidery functions yet). I went to Joann's the other day, basically to check up on my daughter that works there, and found some more fleece in the remnants bin. I also picked up some Minky in green and gray. I've finished about a dozen scarves and am now working on hats to go with them.
 I have 2 of these Seahawks finished so far (I still have a couple of yards of both fabricss)
3 of these paw prints scarves
2 of these camper scarves (still have another yard of these fabrics to make more)
3 panda scarves
and 1 Dream Big scarf
 I am trying out my knitting machine to make some of the hats, but I'm not sure I like them and dropping stitches is a problem if I crank the handle too fast. Making the bottom of the knitted hats look nice is kinda a pain in the neck too. I think I will crochet most of the hats. Here are the ones I've finished so far. The first 2 are crocheted, the rest are the knitting machine. The gray and green is the one that I don't like, the machine looks like it dropped a few stitches here and there and made it look really thin (I may just take it apart and crochet it instead)





I'm working on crocheting hats for the paw prints scarves now.

Another Sunday in Quarantine

It's been a week since my last update. I've crocheted a little, mostly worked on this baby Yoda for a friend's birthday (pattern by Allison Hoffman)
Sewing some scarves from all the fabric I have around the house

They are fleece on one side and minky on the other. I have a few more in the works, then I will either sell them at local events, sell them online or donate them to charity (haven't decided yet)
I also made this stadium blanket with Fleece and minky fabric
Now I'm working on a big dragon from a pattern by Delicious Crochet

More Hats

Last month I showed some of my Pokemon beanies. I have made more since then and would like to share them now



Hopefully I will have more to share soon. Right now, I am taking a break from crochet to play with my new sewing machine. I have quite a bit of fabric around the house, so I think I will work with that for a few days.
   In the mean time, Happy Easter, Happy Passover, Joyous Spring, Blessed be, and above all I wish you all Health and Happiness, stay safe out there

Open for Business

My state has extended the Stay at Home order, so my husband is home for another month. His wonderful employer is still paying it's employees, but they have to take a 20% pay cut for the next month since the company isn't making any money right now. To try to make up for this pay cut, I am re-opening my Etsy store and have items listed on my Facebook page too
Here are just some of the plushies available for purchase

More will be added as I get the photos and descriptions done

Stay at Home, Stay Healthy, Stay Busy

I live in Washington State and during the global pandemic we have a Stay At Home order in place. Basically it's a shelter in place order but our governor didn't want to call it that. Today is day 11 of the order. I am home with my husband and my son. Oddly enough, not much has changed in our routine. My son sits around all day in his pajamas playing video games (he's 19 and taking a year off after graduating high school). My husband is off from work for 3 weeks (thankfully with pay) and is also sitting around in his pajamas, playing video games. I, on the other hand, am sitting around, fully dressed, crocheting Pokemon... Oh. Wait. That's what I always do, so no difference for me either.
Anyway, here are some of the Pokemon I've been working on:
 Mewtwo pattern is from SheaCrochetXX
 Furret, Cutiefly, and Seedot, are not from patterns.


Cubone is from a pattern by 1UpCrochet
Snom and Hatenna were done without a pattern
working on a Shuckle now and then maybe a Pyukumuku
