And The Winner Is......... (Weekend Projects)

Well I totally had fun making that sudoku blanket and I see a lot of you all had fun also but, I think I made it way to easy lol. I will have to probably do that again but, make a harder one and try to bring in 2009 doing another blog sudoku contest how fun is that but, this time I want to try to write out a pattern. I am always saying that but, yet to do it. I just go for it.

But, anyways I know everyone is wondering who won. Well you still will have to wait I still want to blab a bit first lol. Thanks for everyone that join in on the contest. Oh also everyone that email me there answers everyone got there answers right but, remember the rule the one that sends the email first with the right answers is the winner.

The winner is a wonderful mother/wife/crocheter/new sewer Ms. Christina.

Congrats Christina you totally won.


Now I know you wondering what your prize is but, that will have to wait until it pops up in your mailbox. I will email you letting you know when I mailed it out so you can have your heads up for it. I will try to mail out between Monday and Wednesday.


Now on with the show. While crocheting a little some some for the winner today. I whipped me up something in the mean time.

Since I can't show off what I am sending to Christina I thought well don't want to have a emtpy blog today so why don't make something for me.


Here goes. A quick and simply made pin cushion that I whipped up in no time COOL huh?




Also my upcoming weekend I want to get started on my hoodie sweatsuit jacket.




Here is the fabric and things I plan to use.
The sweatsuit fabric I got from Walmart for 2 dollars a yard. I got 4 yards I believe I wanted to have a little extra probably for another sewing project. Also the other fabric the blue and gray fabric is for the lining. I really don't need lining inside of the sweatsuit jacket but, I want it anyways mainly for the back and the front inside lining just to give it a little more of a uniqueness to it. Also got a 26 inche zipper and black and blue thread. I just have to now get cutting the fabric and get started. Oh by the way not using a pattern. I am using a old sweatsuit jacket of mines for my pattern so wish me luck.


Ok another project up my sleeves that I have been putting aside for way to long.
Want to start on a jacket this time no chop jacket a long jacket. More like a short like trench jacket.





This is the fabric I am using it's grey. For the inside lining will be grey and white cotton. Also have 6 buttons that I believe is 1/8 in inches. I plan to have 2 square pockets on the outside front of the jacket with 4 buttons for closing the jacket and also black and natural color thread. Little more details but, I will get to that while I am doing the jacket.

Oh by the way no pattern for this one either. I will do the same thing on how I did my chop jacket. I used a old leather jacket of mines for the measurements.


Ok that's it. Don't have much to report been busy on the same things with crocheting but, now working on some other projects that I can't show but, can show in the furture.

Other words hope everyone have a great weekend and take care.

Sudoku Anyone (Blog Contest)

I have been finished with this Sudoku throw/blanket for awhile yet to put it up since I wanted to use it as a blog contest so here goes for those that knowns how to play sudoku then have fun with it.

For those that don't know what sudoku is it's a game of logic, based on a grid of 9 columns and 9 rows. This subdvided into nine 3 by 3 squares which are known as boxes.


There is a prize winner for the first one to solve the puzzle but, first lets read the rules.

Rule 1 you must have a blog or some kind of websit so I can leak your blog back to mines incase you win

Rule 2 have fun


Now that we got the rules out the way here goes. You most be the first to solve the puzzle. Just because you respond first doesn't mean you is the winner I have to review your answers and determine who is the winner.

To keep this a contest without giving out answers you must email me your answers.
Email me to mom2girls11681 at aol dot com. Title your subject Blog Contest so I know it's not spam. Also please give your blog address and your name so I know who you are. I am not well known with names but, with blogs I will surely know who you are.

But, also leave a comment on my blog saying I will give the sudoku puzzle a try so I know who all may be emailing me.

I will give 4 different pictures of the sudoku blanket. A view of the whole blanket far away. A view of the first three rows then the middle three row then the last three rows.

So that's it. Good luck to everyone. Friday I will give a update on who is the winner.
Oh about the prize just say it's all about crocheting. I wont give any pictures of what I am sending the prize winner it's a surprise. But, giving a hint, since I mostly know all crocheters and since I know mostly crocheters visit my blog the surprise is mostly for a crocheter. Does that hint helps lol.

Oh also whatcha you all think about the blanket cute huh? I just use it as a throw blanket for my small sofa in my room.
Everyone take care. Have a great week. Have fun.
