A Productive Break!

I keep forgetting I have a blog! Being a house-girlfriend (not a wife yet..boo) and a mommy has taken up all my craft time. but I've been a bit productive. :) 

Finished Projects:

Headband, Diaper Cover and afghan for baby Cambria Clark:

Patterns:

Diaper Cover (click here)

Flower for headband (click here)

(Headband was 3 long ch rows braided together and flower sewed on)

*Simply Simple Afghan (click here)

(what I did with the afghan was 6 rows of 4 -24 small squares- and sewed them together like directions stated, and then did 14 large squares (2rnd red, 2 rnd black, 1 rnd pink) and sewed together like directions state... then attached by slip stitch to the small squares. Border for afghan can be found here. You will need to translate. It was difficult for me to figure out, but my mom helped me and explained it better. I think I was just overtired when I was trying to figure it out. :)

To Do:

• Jayda's Granny Square Blanket
• Casey's Hat
• Spa Set
• Jayda's Bow Holder (still a WIP)
• Scrap Yarn Blanket
• Car Seat Blanket for Baby Boy Oiler, as well as a hat for him and a matching one for his big brother.
• Outfit and headband for baby Maisie Howell

That's about it in the ways of updates for now. I hope to keep this up!

*I own none of the patterns used in the pictures. I adapted the Simply Simple Afghan to what I wanted. I have listed the urls to the sites I found the patterns. If you are the pattern owner and wish me to change the url, please contact me.

I'm back.. Again!

I'm back, yet again. I've had a long year. A really. Long. Year. I was at my mom's in Illinois, then I started working two jobs to take care of my awesome daughter, then I moved back to Tennessee with my boyfriend and daughter because we decided we wanted our family back together. We've been here since shortly after Christmas. My how I've missed Tennessee. I left Illinois before that Polar Vortex mess. And I don't miss the snow at all. It's snowed like... twice here since I've been back.

Onto more exciting things!

My project list hasn't changed. Jayda's quilt is on a stand still, as I have no sewing machine.

• Jayda's Granny Square
  For her big girl bed! <3
• Casey's Camo Mohawk Hat
  Because my honey is silly and asked for one for next fall/winter.
• Scrap yarn blanket
  For the living room, since I want to have something that I made showed off.
• 3 Baby blankets
  For 3 of my closest friends. One due in June, the other two in September. Eeeee babies! <3 I may also do bib, hat and bootie sets. Or in place of blankets.... Who knows.
• Spa Set for Momma
  Because I *need* one. Yes. NEED.
• Crochet project holder
  Because this box in my living room takes up too much space! I'm thinking a cute pink camo tote.
• Jayda's Bow Holder
  Jayda has a lot of hair now. Which means her momma, Nana, and Aunt Nikki have bought her bows up the wazoo. We need a pretty place for it. And I may make myself one. It's actually a WIP.

I am so excited for my crafts this year. I'm actually just going to focus on crocheting. I love scrapbooking and macrame, but crocheting seems like it's going to take over my life. Which isn't bad at all,in my opinion. It's just keeping it organized in my head, and fitting it in after being a SAHM again (boy do I miss working sometimes!)

But as of right now, my bed is awaiting me and my honey will be home soon. I'm in dire need of some snuggles. I had lots from Jayda, now it's Casey's turn.

Nightie-Night!! :)

Eeeee! It's been a while!!

So, I forgot I had a blog. Again. I hate it when I do that!! :( 

Anyways... Jayda is almost 17 months old. She can say and understand well over 80 words and is doing VERY well for her age. I'm so proud!! *tear* She and I are in my hometown in Illinois to help my mom out around the house for a while. Casey is working his hiney off to get us an apartment, hopefully this summer. *fingers crossed* I love my family, but I miss my honey, and I miss Tennessee! I do love that I have my cat, Cabriolet back. Jayda simply adores her! She gives her kisses all the time. It's precious.

I am working on a quilt for Jayda. It will be made up with onesies and receiving blankets of hers that I adored the crud out of, and I can't bring myself to get rid of any of them. I also just crocheted Jayda a stuffed animal net, that I plan on hanging up very soon. Here is a list of what I plan to make in 2013:

- Jayda's quilt (finish it)
- Cloth diapers for Jayda
- Hoodie purse (as seen on Pintrest)
- T-shirt quilt for me
- SOMETHING (I dunno what) for Casey
- Cabi's pillow/bed

There is way more, but these are the ones I want to do the most. I can't wait to do all of these!! I have so many crafts I want to do and so little time! I suppose I ought to do the sewing ones while I'm at my mom's... lol.

Yay, New Blog! :)

Yay!! I'm starting this blog so that maybe I can get my crafty-ness out there and help other people out, or they can help me out... either way is great! :) 

A little bit about the blog itself.

One Random Momma is just that... I'm a very random momma. My daughter is a year old, so I chase after her. I am an amateur photographer/chef/crocheter/scrapbooker and lordy knows what else! I plan on being a physical therapist... so what I just listed are all my hobbies. I love crafting... *sigh* It's awesome. :) 

I think that'll be it for now. Hopefully this will get up and going soon. :)
