Money Saving Site -- Sort Of

I had never heard of this site till a couple of days ago, and as soon as I need to build my stash I am heading over there. The store is called Smiley's Yarn and they have super internet sales. We are talking $1 skeins and good yarn, not just Red Heart Super Saver.

Now I said money saving site - Sort of in the title because there is a catch. To order from them you have to spend at least $50 in one pop. So save up and head over because you can definitely do some damage on this site. Yarn changes constantly so keep checking back. Click on the title of the post to head over there.

Newest Idea

I have decided to come out with a year worth of purse patterns. My purse of the month focuses on what I think of when I think of a particular month. This ruffled clutch (yes the ruffles are made out of a special type yarn so the whole thing is crocheted) made me think of April and garden parties and Easter.

What was she thinking?

Okay, so this isn't crochet related, but once I saw it, I had to post it. It freaked me out that much. Now normally I love Anne Geddes and think her photos are so cute of the little babies dressed up like flowers and animals. However, this picture, is just down right scary. Yes we know that is techinically what the inside of a pregnant belly would look like if we could see it, but is there anyone out there that would actually want to see this. Am I wrong? Is there someone out there who would find this beautiful? I think Ms. Geddes may be running out of ideas and stretching a bit.

Another thought that comes to mind when I see this is: how the hell did they get the kid right there in this supertight tube? This is just too freaky for me.

New Listing
