Black & Silver

I am IN LOVE with this. I am going to make one with green flowers 1) For St. Patty's day and 2) cause I wear a lot of green. This bracelet is adult size. I will also be listing these in my Etsy store

I.....Can't.....Stop

I have mentioned before that I have a few business'. They all seem to have a season and so I am able to put my time and energy into them when "the time is right." Now that Spring is upon us, adult hats will slow down and jewelery and photography will pick back up. This is awesome because I have crafters ADD. I need to constantly be creating something or I get depressed. Literally, it is like the medicine that tops off the medicine I already take. After making the first few bracelets, my mind would not turn off. I have SO many ideas, but am limited on time. My family thinks it is important to "eat 3 meals a day." FINE then I say goldfish counts as a meal. Anyway, here is the beginning of what I have in store. I will be selling these bracelets. For the most part the price will stay the same for the sizes unless I start to use semi-precious beads for some of my creations.  My daughter wouldn't give this one back to me after she modeled for me.  It made me smile. 

Crochet Bead Bracelet

Once upon a time I subscribed to receive emails for crochet and knitting tutorials. Normally I don't open them but when I saw the title Crochet Beaded Bracelet, I couldn't resist. I have a small business called Time 2 Bead so I love to find new things to use my inventory. My daughter has a friend who was born on St. Patricks day so I thought it would make her a bracelet to try it out. I went HERE and found that the totorial was amazing. It was hard to crochet the string but I fell in love with how it turned out. I had pink string as well so I did 2 more just to see what else I could do. I really like them. I like the width and the feel when I wear it. So, I am going to get some black and brown to see what other color combo's I can come up with.

You Quack me UP!

Get it!  Quack, instead of Crack, cause it is a duck!  I know, I know cheesy but irresistible.  My husband won't let me get live bunnies, or chicks this year so I have to make my own spring animals props.  I am listing these in my Etsy store  These can be adjusted to any size.  I made this one for a 6-12 month old cause that is how old my model is :)

Sizes

Newborn $15.00 3-6 months $17.50 6-12 months $20.00 Toddler $22.00 Child $24.00

Butterfly clips

We are still covered in smow here.  I am so excited for it to ALL GO AWAY!  Until then, making these cute little butterflies, bring hope for the Spring.  I saw thers on Little Birdie Secrets  Have I mentioned how much I love this blog?  I had an order for a 3 month old newsboy hat and HAD to add a butterfly clip to the strap.

Color Examples

I have had some requests for certain colors for bands and flowers so I put this pic together.  Some of these colors are not true to what the pic is but it gives you a good idea of what I have.  I probably have 15 or so that I don't have listed.  If you want it, I will find it!
I have decided to start donating 1 hat for every 10 that I sell.
I have run into some sweet people who have loved ones that have lost their hair due to their cancer treatment.  I can't imagine the struggle of having my hair fall out on top of fighting cancer.  I have been able to donate 3 since January.  I kinda cheated but that is OK!  If you want to "nominate" someone to receive one of my freebie's please leave a comment or email me at totallyradcrafts@gmail.com.

Ruffle Flower Clip

I don't know it if is because I LOVE this variegated yarn, but I have a huge crush on these ruffle flowers.  If you know how to do a double crochet, you can make this!  It is about 150 stitches of ruffle bliss.  Here are the instructions:
Chain 4, slip stitch in the 1st stitch to connect
Row 1
n the circle do 15 double crochet, slip stitch in the 1st stitch to connect
Row 2
do 3 double crochet in each stitch then ss in the 1st stitch to connect
 Row 3
do 2 double crochet in each stitch then ss in the 1st stitch to connect 
Your ruffles are done!
Add a button to the front and a clip to the back. 
(The flower on the baby was made with 4 dc in row 2 instead of 3dc)
