Completed one of the Cupcake Slippers

Had to do alot of frogging to get the top to fit.. but I figured it out.. These are 8 inches long.. so will fit a foot up to 8 1/2 inches.. this pair will be sizes 4 - 5 maybe 5 1/2.. guess this will be my demo model..


 I am not putting these up on Etsy for a while.. as I dont want to take on any more orders until I get the ones I have now done..

For more info on the pattern.. GO HERE..

Started the Flamingo.. and the latest movie we are watching..

I decided to start the flamingo.. instead of finishing off the cupcake slippers.. I will work on those tonight.. lol.. I should finish them off with no problem..

This isnt my picture.. just wanted you to see the actual finished item as listed on the pattern. have to say this is adorable.. smile..

One of the best things about having a Roku is we can watch what we want to.. when we want to.. at a really low cost.. smile.. last night we watched first.. Shark Tank.. great shows.. love the ideas that flow from people... one of our favorite shows.. then we started a mini series.. called Delete.. you can see the info here on Netflix.. we watched the first part last night.. will finish tonight.. smile. I get most my crocheting done to my TV shows.. update probably tomorrow.. depending on how things go..

Happily.. I just sold a bunch of stuff on Etsy.. smile.. really makes me happy.. as well as auction a bunch of stuff on Listia.. Ebay is off my list to focus on.. as they got my account frozen.. and I can only list 40 at a time.. that is ok.. gives me more time with my other accounts..

Cupcake Slippers For Adults..

Am working on a pair of trial cupcake slippers for adults.. using two different patterns and making into one..

First.. I am using the bottoms of the Crocodile Loafers (same ones I just used on my latest pair of Rainbow Slippers).. and of course using the Cupcake Slipper Pattern that I used in the Toddler version. just making  it larger..

So far I got the bottoms done.. I used a thinner yarn than usual ( I suspect this yarn was actually a DK and not regular worsted weight).. and also a G hook.. and the slippers came out smaller than they should have.. not to worry.. my next pair I just will use a H hook to counteract the gauge problem.. so my first pair will be a size 1 - 2 (which is a larger child size).. those will eventually hit my Etsy store. I wasnt focusing on my gauge.. but more on the pattern.. in order to combine both patterns, I had to make several changes.. and hence.. how it ended up too small..  Pictures coming soon.. I didnt think of taking pictures last night.. since while I was doing that.. we were also watching a movie called Assult on Wallstreet.. you can watch the trailer HERE.. This was a great movie.. dont want to let you in on too much.. but you really had to feel for the poor guy..

Just finished up an order..

She wanted a Halloween towel which I had just put up.. and a scrubby.. finished the scrubby last night.. Made it with Simply Soft.. people seem to like my kitchen items made with that.. since it drys so much faster and dont fade.

More Towels.. More Towels.

I just put up 3 new hanging towels up on Etsy.. and before I could get here.. one of them sold already.. lol..

This is the one that sold right after I put it up!! How cute.. I even found a Witch hat button for it.. (of course on Listia).. wish I had more of those buttons..

This one is still available.. I have two left.. perfect gift for a teacher.. or a mom.. not scary one at all..
