I'm usually a pretty good judge of what will work and when I'm not, I usually don't get too far into a project before I change my mind. This project was the exception.<br />
<br />
I'm a star wars fan as far as I'll watch the movies and enjoy them, but it stops there. My husband however, is a fan as well as many of his friends. All of which I'm thankful for, it helps me to appreciate movies in a much different way than I ever would have otherwise. In this instance, my husband was very instrumental in how this project turned out. My sister and I went to Michael's to find the sacred color for Boba Fett's main color. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/lucyravenscar"><i><b>The pattern from Lucyravenscar</b></i></a> looks like a mild variegated green blue. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: white;" title="Click to view larger swatch"><b><span style="color: blue;"><i><u>Cuyahoga Valley</u></i></span></b></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #5a4331;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">would have been <i>perfect<span style="color: #5a4331;"> </span></i></span></span>Michaels did NOT have this color though... womp womp... so my sister and I grabbed a navy blue/teal blue blend <a href="http://www.lionbrand.com/yarns/heartland.html"><b><i>by Lions Brand - their heartland series</i></b></a> color - glacier ( I LOVE THIS series by the way! All the earthy colors are GORGEOUS and make me happier than they should ;)) I went home, worked up 2 heads and the main body showed it to my husband that night to see what he thought and he lovingly told me Boba Fett's uniform/armor was not blue, if anything I could do gray. I pulled out all the green yarn I had as well to show him because having spent 5 hours working on the Boba Fetts I had already I was discouraged and needed him to back me on the fact that I did not have the right kind of green to make it look like Boba Fett. :) To my relief, he agreed all the green yarns I had were much too dark. I felt my trip to Michaels was validated and he even went on to say I need to get more yarn - lol - true story ;). Since I'm looking for a job I'm not about to run out again to be tempted Michaels, my husband said gray would work, which made me quite happy. I have lots of shades of gray. ^-^ The next day I worked on the gray Boba Fett and took a few pictures of the pair. My husband is keeping the blue guy and he gave him a fitting name of Blueba Fett. I love it! :) He totally helped me redeem my time and added his wonderful humor - lol it's good stuff. ^<br />
<br />
At any rate I hope you like the set here too! They are definitely not your run of the mill Boba Fett amigurumi's. :) ...and I'm okay with that. ♥<br />

<br />
True, depending on how lenient your landlord is you may be able to get away with thumb tacks to hold some things up. However in this case we aren't pushing our luck. ;)<br />
<br />
I gave away our tree, lights and many of our generic Christmas decorations before we moved. I whittled down my Christmas decor stash to fill about 3/4 of a medium sized box. I have a few glass ornaments and items I have picked up over the years that I wouldn't part with and put a majority of them up. I love decorating for Christmas - once the lights and the garlands are up, it usually reminds me of a log cabin... so cozy!<br />
<br />
In any case, this year for decorating I made cinnamon ornaments to hang by the blinds and string up around the mantle. I made a batch that I baked in the oven and another that I let air dry over a few days time. The batch of stars I baked had one hole for threading and the batch I let air dry I put two holes in to string those together. In all I ended up with 23 stars. Our place smelled of cinnamon goodness and still does! ^-^<br />
<br />
For those of you who are renting and might not have room for a tree or have to follow strict guidelines of "no holes in the walls" I'm sharing my decorating photos. I hope they give you ideas of your own to add a little bit of cozy to your home for the holidays!<br />

You work steadily for a while and pour over the details of each stitch and then... you're done! Projects I take on without a pattern are at first quite daunting I'll admit. I have a perfectionist streak in me so there are times of frustration to be sure - lol. In the end its all worth it though. I have the finalized product and am usually pretty pleased with it. If not, I know much more when I go for round two!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This pattern came to fruition because a friend of mine wanted these for her grandchildren after seeing my <a href="http://lostsentiments.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-want-brains-custom-zombie-order-d.html" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">tinier version of a zombie - see photos here.</a><b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>I plan to offer the<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/206993886/large-zombie-amigurumi-doll-made-to"> <i><b>dolls themselves for sale in my etsy shop here</b></i></a><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/lostsentiments?ref=pr_shop_more">.</a> For those of you who may be smitten with them but don't crochet this is definitely the way to go. They will be offered for a limited time, as the yarns used for at least one of the dolls is discontinued. Speaking of...specifically the pink hair on one of the zombies... (we'll call her strawberry ;) and the other with blue hair blueberry ;)) was discontinued, so I had to do some digging. I was able to find a few people willing to part with a skein or two for the right price to make sure I had enough to work with. Then I set to work. I started out with a large sketch to make sure I liked the proportions of the body, then tried several (about 5 -6 ) different versions of the "Ideal Sphere" to give me the head size I wanted. </span><br />

With Halloween just around the corner, it has me thinking on all the little princesses </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who will be trick or treating. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can I just say I haven't seen nearly as many dress up as prince charmings?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The princess must have a counterpart with her no? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this frog prince would be the perfect pairing with any princess costume! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I give you the amigurumi pattern here free to be made at your leisure nearly a month in advance of trick or treating. I believe in you! ;) I believe in miracles too, and yarn... yarn that can make something to brighten any one's day... okay - ready, set, go! </div>

Halloween is just around the corner - you know how commercialized the Holidays are anymore so I'm sure you've even seen *gasp* Christmas trees at a few stores... I know I have. But first holidays first ;) Halloween will be here soon, ghosts, ghouls, vikings, sirens, pumpkins and creatures of all kinds will be roaming around looking for candy. My guess is, Frankenbunny and his friend Bunnicula might have been doing just that the night I spotted them... they didn't find my secret stash though! Haha!</div>

When friends bring me a cartoon or drawing to bring to life and the height they want, I have to sketch it to be sure I get the doll to scale. Above is the sketch I made to use as a guide :). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recommend anyone who can draw and crochet to use this method. Granted you'll be working the doll up and pulling out the stitches from time to time, but hopefully it will spare some of your time! </div>

Mr. Bomb Omb?Who could forget Marios Bros Nintendo Game? Growing up I would look forward to going to my grandparents or the neighbor kids place because - hello - hey had a Nintendo!! I was not very good at Mario Brothers games. Throw any version of that game at me and I had fun playing it but was not about to be saving the princess any time soon, or ever. Yeah, never ever... ^-^. But that's okay! I still have fond memories of playing the game and seeing it progress to the point where Mario could ride on a Yoshi and do amazing and incredible things! Still, no saving the princess for me lol.<br />
<br />
In any case, a few years back a request for a Mario Bomb Omb plush was submitted to me and I recently was complimented on the design. Complement = Dawn encouraged and inspired = must share with the world!<br />
<br />
So today I share my very first published pattern with you from my etsy shop!! The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/95068100/pattern-for-bomb-omb-amigurumi-plush-toy?ref=pr_shop"><i><b>link on etsy can be found here to purchase</b></i></a> and the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bomb-omb-amigurumi"><i><b>link to the pattern to purchase on ravelry is here</b></i></a>.<br />

This isn't a pity party post though, no sir! :) ;) (also, why has blogger not enabled emoticons?! I <b>NEED </b>them to talk at you! O.O ;)). This is a short reflective post! One of the projects I have on my list for the not too distant future is to make two hats for my friends little girls (ages 2 months & 2 years old - joy! :D). The girls are adorable I assure you! :D In any case, the hat project had me perusing my crochet pinterest board<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b><b style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/lostsentiments/crochet/">(see it here - oh and follow too! ^-^)</a> </b>to show me all the goodies I've found on previous pinterest adventures!

I've been totally blessed by an outpouring of thoughtful people in my life who have passed on to me their yarn, their nicknacks, their stories of knitting/crochetting/tatting/crafting times gone by, their time and their patience. Namely I have to say my late Grandma Fagner was one of thee biggest gifters of her talents and time to me. She was involved in so many things throughout her lifetime and I realize she shared her passions as much as she could with me, my siblings, my cousins and so so many others. Here's a shot of my siblings, my mom and Grandma :) - this was the last time I saw her in person before she passed away. Isn't she adorable?!?!</div>

Grandma lived an amazing life, she was 90 when she passed, though admittedly I thought she'd live to be 100 ;-), the lady had some spunk I'm telling you! After I was out of the Air Force I got to spend a lot of time with her, gardening, dancing & crafting. I am so fortunate to have had that time with her. I know she knew Jesus and that when the time comes I will see her again. Selfishly, of course I would rather have kept her here with us <span aria-hidden="true">:)</span><span title=":)"></span>. God's timing is perfect though and I trust that. Grandma looked beautiful and peaceful when I saw her for the last time at her funeral - the casket was perfect for her too! It had a lovely feminine touch with flowers and a beautiful light mauve color on the outside. The inside was a wonderful lavender and there was one embroidered flower. A lady til the end <span aria-hidden="true">:)</span><span title=":)"></span>. Grandma's are the best!<br />
<br />
Over the years I've realized it was Grandma Fagner and my mothers love for peonies that encouraged my appreciation for this kind of flower... I was SO excited when I found out our last house grew them!! It's only fitting I share a photo of one of the blooms with you here ;)<br />

- Thank the people that take the time to spend the time with you daily, you'll never regret it.</div>
<div>

My brother requested not one, but two beer mitt cozies to be knit <i>last </i>June (yes, it's been a year and some since O.o)...I said I would make them, but will admit, I was not feeling up to the task... being a bit overwhelmed by the idea of having to figure out the pattern for a mitten with specific dimensions for a mans hand knowing that knitting items other than scarves are not my strong suit... this project took a back seat for bit. I'm not sure when or how it happened but I did a query on ravelry one day and found this beer mitt cozy pattern in 3 different sizes! Gnarly man-hand size included!!! Okay, they originally called that size Large ;). I had my husband try it on for size as I worked them up. And yes, when I say I worked <u>them</u> up, I mean I worked them both up at once. My knitting tension varies from day to day so in an effort to make them the same large gnarly man hand size, this was just how it had to be... here are a few pictures of the finished products and the process as I worked them up on cable needles... cast on is such a mind boggle when I do this, but it is absolutely necessary. :)<br />
<br />
Please note, the yellow added to the beer mitt cozy is embroidery thread. My brothers friends name is Colin and he thought it'd be absolutely hilarious to have C-Man noted on his cozy with a smiley face. I improvised and used the knit rows and stitches as markers after I'd graphed out how/where to put the words. I think he'll enjoy how it turned out lol :). The blue & back striped one is my brothers, made with some of my late grandmothers blue yarn. Always trying to pass on a sentimental feel for family projects. I think its important.<br />
<br />
Also, should you want to make on yourself here is the <b><a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEdf13/PATTbeermitt.php"><i>link to the pattern</i></a>. </b>Thanks to knitty.com. :D<br />
<br />
Lastly, for my fellow knitters out there, I will tell you I used size 10 cable needles and held two strands of worsted weight throughout (pulling yarn from inside and outside the skein simultaneously.)<br />

Sorry I've been *so* quiet lately! We decided after visiting Texas in February of this year, that we would set about making living there a reality. Fast forward to today and as God would have it... we are now living in the great state of Texas! :D. It's been a whirl wind I assure you! We had to line up at least one job to make the move happen, had to sell our house... and we had to literally move from Virginia to Texas. No small feat I assure you. While we are still in the process of settling in and making Texas our permanent stomping ground, I've been able to get back to some crafting.<br />
<br />
I recently finished round three on 191 of 192 ( would you believe I lost one of the circles?! :s ) granny sunburst flowers! :D You might know this color scheme as the <a href="http://lostsentiments.blogspot.com/search/label/study%20blanket">study blanket</a>. While the study I was making this blanket for has since been repainted and sold with the house in VA, the vision for this richly colored autumnal throw blanket lives on! :D It does get chilly in Texas at times despite the heat you hear about :).<br />
<br />
Here are the finished pieces as of today...<br />

A coworker of mine recently found out she was going to be an auntie! She's pretty sure that they'll be having a girl and requested a Princess Leia hat be made.<br />
<br />
Over the course of a few days I figured out a pattern using double crochet throughout and then stitched together braided yarn to look like hair buns. Since I wasn't 100% sure how big the babies head will be, I decided I would make it bigger than for your typical newborn so they had something to grow into versus the hat possibly being too small. I used dimensions from <a href="http://www.crochetgeek.com/2008/04/newborn-head-circumference-13-14-hat.html">crochetgeek.com</a> for a 3 - 6 month old. Circumference of 14 inches with hat height of 5 1/2 inches.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it amazes me how something as simple as attaching 2 faux hair buns to a crochetted hat transforms it from an otherwise boring hat to "omigoodness that's so cute!" kind of hat! :) See! :D<br />
<br />
***UPDATE: I truly just like sharing my finished items... but due to popular demand, I've created a listing for this hat for all sizes (please check the dimensions in the listing). I will be offering this hat for a limited time. Feel free to grab more than one ;) Find the hat <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/191159342/made-to-order-crocheted-princess-leia?ref=shop_home_active_1"><b><i>HERE</i></b></a>.<br />

She picked the colors and I made up a pattern to placate my designer side :). This design allows for a very dense scarf that can cover more area when stretched out, and then you get to see the openwork peek through! The body (or cream colored yarn in this case) is the inverse of the border pattern. </span>If you like you can work the whole scarf in either the border or the body pattern if desired. The changing of the pattern on the ends adds a little extra something. :)<br />

I've been working on it between other projects and am so pleased to tell you, that as of this morning... it's done! :) I'm so pleased with how it turned out that I've taken a copious amount of photos (...and I plan to take more!!) and sharing them in an extra large format.<br />
<br />
I'm glad I went with the blue edging... as I was finishing the last edging row I was excited to see it done (as you can imagine ;)). Though, I think if I make another one I'd finish it with a gray edging... maybe a simple acrylic gray edging, just to change it up and create a clean edge. The blue really pulls out the hues in the blanket, they all dance to my eye. I appreciate that I had enough different colors and textures to randomly select from as I worked on it as I think it adds an eclectic log cabin cozy feel. I am reminded of the photos you see on pinterest, of the stacks of linens, blankets or quilts that make you want to curl up with a good book and grab ALL the blankets from the stack! :)<br />
<br />
If you'd like to make a version of this for yourself or a loved one, I've seen this pattern called harlequin and greenway. The free ravelry download can be found <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/greenway"><b><i>here</i></b></a>.<br />
<br />
Are you wondering how long this took to make?Are you *sure* you want to know? Each square row of color took an hour to crochet. The edging itself took at least 20 hours in total. Final measurements are: 49" x 65"<br />
<br />
I stayed consistent on the edges, all had a diamond ripple effect. This of course meant going back through to each of the edge colors and adding stitches... well. worth it.I would do it again, just add the diagonal as I did the rows so I wouldn't have to go back, adding half a square to each of the rows was a tedious and daunting task, but once a handmade blanket is done, it's done! ;)<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy the photos! Please feel free to share and pin them, just please make sure they link back to this post so people can see the other photos as well! ;) Thank you!<br />

I sure hope not! :D They are the last two I'll make for a while but I am elated<span style="background-color: white;"> to </span>be giving them to a dear friend who will in the end had a family set! :D<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em !important; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The green scoodie came out larger than I’d anticipated, but you know, sometimes that happens! :) Luckily grown men have larger heads, so this scoodie went from “Oh my friends lil girl will grow into it” to "Oh my friends husband will appreciate this, especially since his wife and baby will already have one!” </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">Ergo - it's a daddy hat! :) </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em !important; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yep. It’s all in how you spin it :) ;).</span></div>
<br />
Here's hoping my friend will use the set for a Christmas card sheninnigans butcha know its <i>really </i>okay if not too! ;) They're a super fun family, I'm just glad they'll appreciate having a set! :D Yes.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you'd like to make a Leprechaun hat yourself - the pattern can be found <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/96027946/pattern-tiny-st-patricks-leprechaun-hat"><b><i>here on etsy</i></b></a> and on <i><b><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/st-patricks-day-leprechaun-hat">ravelry here</a>. </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've done my best to proofread and edit the pattern, but if you have any questions as you work it up please let me know. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you! </div>

<br />
Now, with a darker color purple, back stitch from the bottom of Round 20.<br />
Up 2 rows and over 2 stitches each time until the tip of the horn, then work down again in the same way, granted you won't be able to do 2 over and 2 up once you are at the top of the horn, so just space them halfway apart (or stitches up 1 stitch over).<br />
<br />
OR fasten the thread off once you reach the top of the horn then begin back stitching on Round 20, 8 stitches from the first line.<br />
<br />
Once you have the initial stitches complete, using more of the darker purple thread, trace the back stitches by wrapping the thread around them like in the photo below.<br />

<br />
Work up the thread and pull a little on the twisting thread as you go, this helps give it a "swirling" shape.<br />

One for a grandmother (purple), one for a son (green)... one for a friend of mine that loved the pink I used and wanted one just like it, which of course meant that I would be making her adorable daughter one too (still in the works ;))! Because I love them both ;). Last but not least... I made one especially for a 3 year old... who <i style="font-weight: bold;">loves </i>the twilight sparkle pony character. So instead of the ears, we have a unicorn horn!!! :D<br />

<br />
About once a year my parents come visit us from Iowa. With them they normally bring some fun trinkets and items we need but don't always have on hand, ie. rubberbands, dental floss, chapsticks, etc. And then other presents! :D My mom is really a very good gift giver. She's thoughtful and keen to observe when there is a need, she's always trying to make a persons life easier, if she can fill a need with something for someone she does it. I grew up watching her do this so I truly attribute my own gift giving "eye" to her teaching me to be observant in this way too. Thank you mom! :)<br />
<br />
Mom and Dad had helped my brothers friend out when he lost his parents. :( Come to find out my brothers friends mom was a crafter. She had <a href="http://lostsentiments.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-yarn-cup-overflows.html">a lot of cotton yarn (as you might or might not remember)</a> and had started three doilies... <a href="http://lostsentiments.blogspot.com/2013/04/free-vintage-crochet-doily-pattern-venus.html">One I was able to finish</a>, the other I decided it looked done and now <a href="http://lostsentiments.blogspot.com/2013/03/newest-addition-to-our-table-top.html">use it as a center piece on our table</a> :). The third one though I would like to finish but it did not come with a pattern. I realize I might be able to figure it out if I had more time (and this was my only project - ha! hahahaha! ;) That <i>never </i>happens :)) I'd say it's been 2 years now since mom gave me this doily. I would really like to finish it. It's beautiful. Every doily that's started deserves to be finished... What with 8 inch doilies being sold for a mere $2.00 made by a machine... saying I have a ridiculously huge doily HANDMADE, well, these are heirlooms then. :)<br />
<br />
So my crafty crochet buddies - please take a look at the doily below, if you have the pattern I would be happy to buy it from you. If you have a link to where you've seen this pattern please share it in the comments. Please also pin this asking if anyone has seen/used the pattern if you like. I know I plan to!<br />

I realize with all the doilies out there this might be a long shot, but I am also hard pressed to think this late ladies work should sit unfinished like this when it's so close to being finished. </div>

Thank you in advance for your help! </div>

...right... okay not really. This is for pretend and creative uses but of course! :D Worn when there just must be more pink, more sparkly & more fun in your day. Yup, that's what I say! ;) </div>
<br />

Since a pink yub nub might be followed and admired by a orange yub nub why not share the pair right? :) Here you go... my latest makings of the star wars kind. Requested by a friend :) </div>
