Hats and such!

This could be my last post with pictures for a while so I thought I'd go overboard.  My computer either needs a new charger or the motherboard has died.  We're going with option #1 and waiting for a new charger to come in the mail.  So anyway, here are my crafty projects from the last couple months!  I'm just a little behind.

I made a few embroidered towels this year for our gift exchange at MOPS.  I then got a special order for the snowflake one.  These are so simple and just looking at this picture makes me want to whip one up tonight!
My first attempt at a hat!  My friend, Alicia, has really been a confidence booster in my crocheting project.  I have enjoyed the new projects I've been trying!

My second hat for Chewy went better than my first for the Bops.  (I ended up making a second hat for Bops)
My hubby requested a hat for Christmas to go with his scarf.  I had just enough left over to finish this!  I also made Chewy a binky strap!
I tried a Tunisian crochet project and finished a scarf just in time for Christmas.  It was really fun and I plan on buying an afghan hook to make some more.  It's a neat cross between knitting and crocheting.  You still use one hook, but you leave all of the loops on it.  You work left to right and right to left (or forwards and backwards) and you don't turn your work.  Pretty interesting.  I also made my first wash cloth.  I was just never into them, but I saw this cute flower pattern at Ravelry and decided to give it a try.  I actually love my crocheted wash cloth.  I see another few in my future!
Finally I made these large clothespins for my council supper.  Super easy!  Even the bops got to help.  

I've made another hat since these pictures for the new baby in my life.  My friend had a baby girl last week, Whitney.  I just saw her last night and can't wait to snuggle her again today!  She needed a pink hat to keep her little head warm.  

THE END of my recent craft projects.  Let's see what else I can come up with!
