Crochet Quickies...

This is what I took to play with on my camping/hunting trip. Colorful yarns and crochet hooks.

While the boys were out roaming the mountains looking for a elk...

I made a bunch of these cute little flowers....I have many more to make and when I'm finished...
I'll show you what I'm going to do with them....I kept thier little tails on because I need them for my project!



I also made several sunflower scrubby's......perfect for my fall kitchen.



And more scrubbies in all kinds of colors....these are the first 4 that I made.
Aren't they cute? They're called scrubbie dots!
They were really fast, fun and easy to make and perfect for little quickie projects to take while on a trip.

Kassidy thought they would be cute for coasters too.
If you want to make your own...click on each scrubbie name to get the pattern)


We enjoyed the campfire...the outdoors and each others company on our last camping trip of the season...

    Your crochet projects are always inspiring. I brought yarn as we traveled to Phoenix, but haven't had a moment to work on anything yet. Hopefully I can get something done on the drive home.

    So cute. I can't wait to see what you're going to do with all of those adorable little flowers! And I love the colors. I don't have any fun colors like that because I can never picture ahead of time what they're going to look like. Next time I'm buying yarn, I'm going to have to keep your cute little flowers in mind. ;)

    You are not only such a creative person, but you find the cutest ideas to work on. Curious on the type of yarn you use. I love the blue...actually I love the four colors on the scrubbie dots, any chance you would share the colors? That is something I have been wanting to comment on you have the most wonderful eye for color and what works together I really wish I lived near you oh I just covet you and envy your style and taste. Can't wait to see what these little flowers will become.
    Thanks
