Polka Dots and a Monkey

One of my friends asked me to make this for her as a present for her aunt's birthday. I was happy to oblige. It's been a crazy month with my new job, becoming host home parents for special needs adults, and family functions every weekend, it's been busy. I need to get some blankets done and other sewing projects, but now I'm just trying to get a new routine down.  

Anyway, the only stipulations she had was she wanted blue and white and a newsboy cap. She left all the designs up to me. Pleased to say she thought it was cute. I love the little dress.

Another Scarf

I thought when we moved to our new apartment I would have all this time to sew. Not so. It seems like the only thing I have time for these days is crocheting and that only gets done at my graveyard job. It's a lot easier to take some yarn and hooks than it is a sewing machine. I found the pattern for this on Pinterest and the pattern here. I changed it slightly. Instead of 9 rows of single crochet I did 2 rows single crochet, a row of double crochet, row of single crochet, a row of double crochet, and 2 rows of single crochet. It worked up quickly and I can't wait to wear it!
