Crochet Boys Scraps Hat

A friend messaged me on Facebook asking if I wanted to help her daughters fundraiser by buying some Blue & Gold Sausage. Well I said, yes of-course! So, since I knew I was going to be meeting up with her soon I thought it would be a great idea to have a hat ready for her kids. I made a pom pom hat in pink like one previously posted. I needed one for her son and for some odd reason of all the colors of yarn that I have in my stash blues are not one. So I found these in my scrap bin. And I was lucky enough to get this hat in Navy, and Turquoise made for her 2 year old son. 

Her daughters hat was a pink pom pom hat like this

 

Children’s Face Mask

I have had this fabric that I bought from a garage sale, stashed in my closet for years. As soon as the news broke that a child died from the COVID-19 virus and that we should all possibly wear masks since we have no idea how this virus is truly spreading, I decided I need to use my stashed fabric up. I had elastic stashed in my sewing box, dug out some from my mothers old sewing box, plenty of thread, and I went at it making masks in various sizes. I am not an experienced Tailor by any means. Me and the Singer rarely get along, that is why she has been collecting dust stashed in the closet all this time. I have been itching to attempt a sewing project for a while now, but this is not what I had in mind. I honestly wish this was not the project. I feel proud that I made it this far and the masks actually look like masks and are wearable like a mask. I do hope that the masks I make are doing someone some good. I guess they are doing at least one person good, and that would be me. I work from home, so this quarantine thing was already my life. Going to the grocery was my “girls night out” alone. But now we are having groceries delivered, so I am even getting cabin fever. That is saying a lot for a home body like myself. To stay somewhat sane, I dive into hobbies or chores. I have plenty of both. When I craft and use up supplies it feels so good almost like I cleaned out an entire closet. Maybe because I cleaned out an entire closet to get to the fabric I had stashed away, but that is besides the point.

Thank you for stopping by! Please leave me a comment. I love ego boosting comments!   

Headband Ear Warmer -4yrs

I was showing off my Headband Ear Warmer for a 6-12 month Baby that I made using scrap yarn left over from a hat that I had made earlier in the week, and then I had a request for two of them, so I have made another for the big sister she is four years old. I am using scrap yarn left over from another little ball I was storing. I am feeling so good about using up these little balls! Like I have decluttered without much effort.
