This has to be one of my favorite patterns! I did this as a pattern test on Ravelry. I am thinking that this would make a super cute photo prop for a baby. Maybe the headband around baby's waist with the bow on their back?! Or how cute on a little girl's head! The pattern suggests it is the perfect accessory for a Minnie Mouse or Hello Kitty costume! I am so excited to make more of these!

My poor sweet boys who have to be my models for girlie stuff! This hat has a sweet butterfly on the side of it. It is kinda hard for the detail to show up in a picture, but take my word for it, it is so cute!

Oh how I love this hat!! It is so adorable for a photo prop or to keep baby's head nice and toasty on these chilly fall nights.

Doilies are one of my favorite things to make. They add such a nice touch to a tabletop, under a lamp or candy dish. I really like this pattern because it is small and works up quick, yet it has such beautiful detail.

This was my 2nd test pattern for Ravelry. I had never crochet cables before and I really like it. This pattern had great directions and turned out really cute. I'm excited to make more for christmas gifts.
Ravelry: Elegance Fingerless Gloves pattern by Sonja Otto
My first pattern test on Ravelry was a success! My niece picked the colors and has planned her first day of school outfit around them! I want to make them in white next, they are gorgeous!
Newborn photo shoots are one of my favorite. This was a very fun prop for the 10 day old newborn photo shoot I did. I am selling this prop for $30 (includes shipping).
Super cute baby newborn photo prop. I did a photo shoot with a 10 day old baby with this and it was adorable! It does take a little bit of posing to get it right. I'm selling this for $30 (includes shipping).

I am really excited how cute this bag turned out! I used 7-8oz Navy Red Heart Soft yarn. I am going to try it next with nylon thread to make it more durable.
Why the name? I am such a city slicker! Although I grew up in a big city I always had a soft spot for small towns. In high school I moved to a smaller town, then an even smaller town after getting married. Now we have settled our little family in a tiny little rural town. I love our quiet nights, amazing neighbors, agriculture and that feeling of being "home". Being such a city slicker I love dairies, cows, horses, barns and everything about country living. I have even commented more than once on seeing funny looking horses...oh wait...those are cow moose!!
Crocheting has become a huge part of my country lifestyle, so when deciding on a blog name I stuck with my city slicker roots!
Now, why make the blog? Crochet is my favorite hobby. I love to try and share new patterns. I have just volunteered to be a tester for pattern creators. I needed a place to share my work and any future patterns I create.
Anything I crochet is always for sale. It's always great to make some $$ doing what I enjoy and I always like an excuse to make more!
