Hand Paint

2011-07-27T12:15:00.001-05:00

I've been trying my hand at hand painting yarn. The first go around, I had some leftover worsted weight wool laying around that I thought would be perfect for my attempt. I've dyed yarn before but wasn't totally pleased with the outcome. This is something that was SO much fun for me and my daughters to do that I would love to do it for a living if I could. I'm no professional by any means but hopefully one day, I can sell the yarns we paint. :) Here are some photos of the ones we did. I would love to hear your feedback and let me know what you think about them.

This was the first one in worsted weight. I didn't really have a color scheme in mind when we dyed this one. Just went with colors we already had on hand.

This theme was inspired by the American flag. The reds, whites, and blues have a patriotic feel. This hank is sport weight and is approximately 50 grams (or a little over 100 yards).

This hank was one that my 8 year old daughter did all by herself! From mapping out what colors and order she wanted the colors to be, to hand painting it, and rinsing out, drying, and wrapping in a hank. She shares my love of yarn. Momma couldn't be prouder! :) Her theme was a rainbow. Chunks of yellow, orange, red, purple, blue and green are in this sport weight hank.

This particular hank was my second one to paint. I was mostly going for a "citrus" theme to incorporate lime, lemon, grapefruit, and orange. After drying, it lightened up a little and is more like a "sherbert". This too in in sport weight.

The colors used in this particular hank were inspired by the sun. While we were on vacation in California and Utah a few weeks ago, the sunsets were magnificent! The blood red color that would full the sky just as the sun would set, took my breath away! This sport weight skein was inspired by that beauty.

Last but not least, one of my daily inspirations I get is food. I love absolutely everything about food! Preparing, cooking, and eating are the things that I delight in. These colors were inspired by the summer berries that are in bloom. Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc. This sport weight hank makes me want to bake a berry pie when I look at it. Hope you all enjoyed the pictures and hopefully it will ignite a desire to hand paint some of your own yarn. Please leave your feedback! I LOVE hearing it! :)

DO NOT USE MY PHOTOS

2011-06-03T22:06:00.000-05:00

I'm coming across people who have used photos that do not belong to them and claiming it as their own. THIS IS ILLEGAL! The photos that I attach to my patterns and hats are photos that belong to Kat's Photography and other photographers that I have worked with who have given me permission to use them. If you want to sell items using my pattern, you do not have permission to use the photos unless you contact the photographer yourself. Most of them belong to Kat's Photography so if you are interested in using the photo, contact her directly. It is stealing to use the pictures otherwise! If you don't want to ask permission, get your own photographer or take the pictures yourself! Don't just go and steal pictures that belong to others! These people work hard to create a great looking photo/product. Sorry to be so blunt but I'm sickened by this. Thanks!

Crochet Munchkin Hat Pattern

2011-03-21T14:34:00.001-05:00

Size: Newborn

APPROXIMATE Measurements:

From top of hat to brim- 23 ¾ inches long (this measurement is not including the pom)

Circumference of hat- 12 ½ inches around

Materials:

H Hook

Worsted weight (colors A & B) about 1 oz of each

Techniques used-

hdc, sl st, sc, ch, increase (see below for directions).

Hat is worked from the top down.

***NOTE-PATTERN IS WORKED SWITCHING COLORS EVERY OTHER ROUND. To switch colors without having to cut yarn every color change follow these instructions:

To switch from color A to color B, work round indicated in color A. At end of round as you are about to sl st, insert hook into first hdc, hook color B, and pull color B though both loops on hook. Leave unused color to tag along the inside of the hat until ready to use again in 2 rounds. You can do the same when you switch from color B to color A.

ROUNDS- Every round (with the exception of the increase rounds, round 1, and the last 3 sc rounds) you will hdc in 2^nd st and work in round and end with a hdc in the base of ch 1. This will keep the seam aligned.

Increase round- Hdc in same st as ch 1, hdc half of round, 2hdc, then hdc in each st to end of round and again in same st as ch 1. Sl st in first hdc.

NOTE FROM DESIGNER- In order to make this pattern not so long and drawn out, I’ve described what most of the rounds will be like above. It will make it not so long but it will probably be more complicated to follow. Just make sure you take your time and keep count of your stitches every round and make sure you have read carefully the above notes. KEEP TRACK OF WHERE YOUR FIRST HDC WILL GO. Every regular round, you will put your first hdc in the SECOND st. In ALL increase rounds, your first hdc will go in the same st as your ch 1.

Instructions:

Round 1- Crocheting LOOSELY now and throughout, Ch 2. 8 hdc in 2^nd ch from hook. Sl st in top of first hdc. (8hdc)

Round 2- Ch 1 (does NOT count as first hdc, now and throughout), hdc in all hdc around. Sl st.

Round 3- 23- Repeat round 2 remembering to switch colors every other round. (8 hdc)

Round 24- Ch 1, hdc in same st as ch 1. Hdc around and againin base of ch 1. (You should only be increasing 1 hdc) (9hdc)

Round 25- Increase round (see description above). (11hdc)

Round 26-28- Repeat round 2, remembering to switch colors. (11hdc)

Round 29- Increase round (see description above). (13hdc)

Round 30-32- Repeat round 2, remembering to switch colors. (13hdc)

Round 33- Increase round (see description above). (15hdc)

Round 34-36- Repeat round 2, remembering to switch colors. (15hdc)

Round 37- Increase round (see description above). (17hdc)

Round 38-40- Repeat round 2, remembering to switch colors. (17hdc)

Round 41- Increase round (see description above). (19hdc)

Round 42-44- Repeat round 2, remembering to switch colors. (19hdc)

Round 45- Ch 1, hdc same st as ch 1 and in next 5 hdc, 2hdc, hdc in next 6, 2hdc, hdc in next 5 and again in same st as ch 1. (22hdc)

Round 46-48- Repeat round 2, remembering to switch colors (22hdc)

Round 49- Ch 1, hdc in same st as ch 1 and in next hdc. *2hdc, hdc in next*, repeat *9 times. Hdc in base of ch 1. Sl st. (33hdc)

Round 50- Repeat Round 2.(switch colors). (33 hdc)

Round 51- Ch 1, hdc in same st as ch 1 and in next 2 hdc. *2hdc, hdc in next 2*, repeat * 9 times. Hdc in base of ch 1. Sl st. (44hdc)

Round 52-58- Repeat Round 2. Remembering to switch colors every other round. (44 hdc)

Round 59-61- Using color B, ch 1. Sc in all hdc around. Sl st the first sc. (44 sc)

Cut both color of yarn and weave in all 4 ends. Add a pom pom on the end and you have yourself an adorable crocheted munchkin hat!

SOCK MONKEY HAT PATTERN- Size 2T-4T

2011-03-01T09:54:00.001-06:00

Sock Monkey hat size 2T-4T

Materials Needed: About 3 oz of worsted weight- color A (main color)- I used grey.

About 2 oz of worsted weight- Color B (edge and top of hat. Should be cream or white)

About 1 oz of worsted weight- color C (pom pom and edge of monkeys hat)- I used pink.

1 or 2 yards of black worsted weight (for eyes. Eyelashes are optional)

Size I hook

Techniques used: sc, hdc, dc, dec, inc

Dec- yo, insert hook in first st, pull up a loop, insert hook in next st, pull up a loop, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook.

Inc- hdc twice in same st.

APPROXIMATE Measurements: 18-20 inches around

Instructions: Using color B, ch 4. Sl st in first ch to make a loop.

Round 1- Ch 2 (doesn’t count as first dc), Dc 15 around loop. Sl st in top of first dc. (15 dc)

Round 2- Ch 1 (doesn’t count as first hdc now and throughout), Inc in all st around. Sl st in top of first hdc. (30 hdc)

Round 3- Ch 1, *hdc in first, inc in next*. Repeat * around. Sl st in first hdc. (45 hdc)

Round 4- Ch 1, *hdc next 2 st, inc in next*. Repeat * around. Sl st in first hdc. (60 hdc)

Round 5- Ch 1, hdc in each hdc around. Sl st in first hdc. (60 hdc) Cut yarn and pull through.

Round 6- Using color A, attach yarn in the first hdc of the round 5. Ch 1, hdc in each hdc around. Sl st in first hdc.

Round 7-13- Ch 1, hdc in each hdc around. Sl st in first hdc. (60 hdc)

****At this point, you can add a round or two to make it the right length. Make sure you make it just slightly short so you can add an edge around the hat to make it the perfect length. I’ve had to add up to 3 extra rounds at times. Use your best judgement about the length because it will be difficult to go back and fix it once the hat is put together.***

When you have reached the desired length, finish the round, sl st, and cut the yarn.

Earflaps (optional): Row 1-Using color A, count 8 st from where you cut the yarn. Attach yarn, ch 2 (counts as first dc), dc in next 10. (11dc)

Row 2- Ch 1, turn. Dec, hdc in next 7, dec. (9 hdc)

Row 3- Ch 1, turn. Dec, hdc in next 5, dec. (7 hdc)

Row 4- Ch 1, turn. Dec, hdc in next 3, dec. (5 hdc)

Row 5- Ch 1, turn. Dec hdc, dec. (3 hdc) Cut yarn and pull through.

Do the same for the other side of the hat, counting 8 st away from the start of the round going the opposite direction. Follow instructions above.

Edge of monkey’s hat: Using color C, working on the outside of the hat, attach yarn at the first hdc of the last round of color B. Ch 1, Sc each hdc of color B. You should be single crocheting in the same stitches as the ones from round 6. Sl st. Cut yarn and pull through. (60 sc)

Weave in all ends.

Using Color B, sc around edge of hat and earflaps.

Mouth: Round 1- Using color B, ch 11. Working in a round, 2sc in second ch from hook. Sc in next 8. 4 sc in last ch. Turning work and working on opposite side, sc in next 8. 2sc in last ch. Sl st. ( 24 sc)

Round 2- Ch 1. 2sc in first sc. Sc in next 10. 2sc in next 2. Sc in 10. 2sc in last sc. Sl st. (28 sc) To make seaming easier, cut a long tail (between 12-16 inches) and pull through.

Eyes (make 2): Using black, Ch 2. 6 sc in first ch. Sl st in first sc. Cut yarn, leaving an 6-8 inch tail to attach eyes. (6sc)

Ears (make 2): Round 1-Using color A, ch 2. 6 sc in first ch. Sl st in first sc. (6 sc)

Round 2- Ch 1. 2sc in each sc around. Sl st. (12 sc)

Round 3-5- Ch 1. Sc in each sc around. Sl st. (12 sc) Cut yarn leaving a 6-8 inch tail to sew onto hat.

Fold in half and attach ears to sides of hat.

Sew mouth and eyes on appropriate areas of the hat. Embroider eyelashes and a line across mouth for lips. Weave in all ends. Block hat if desired.

Add braids and a pom pom on top of hat.

My instructions for making braids:

I take the same color yarn and cut about 4 strands of each color (about 4 or 5 feet long). Working through the bottom of the earflaps, pull all color A through sc until folded in half. Do the same for the other 2 colors. Tie all colors together, forming the knot directly under the earflap (at the top of the braid). Separate colors and braid colors (I like to braid tightly). When desired length is reached, tie yarn again in a knot at the bottom of the braid. Cut extra yarn off bottom to make ends even. Do the same to the other side and you got yourself an adorable Sock monkey hat! J

Newborn Nest Pattern FOR PHOTO SESSION USE ONLY

2010-11-24T09:17:00.001-06:00

Newborn Nest

SUPPLIES:

ABOUT 150g or 170 yards of Chunky 1 ply yarn 2 strands held together (I used Bernat Felting Yarn)

Super huge hook (15.5mm)

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS:

*Nest is worked in a round and crocheted VERY loosely.*

**Crochet on the BACK loop throughout the whole nest.**

APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS FOR NEST (Lay nest down on flat surface and measure):

9 inches across bottom

15 inches across top (30 inches total around)

11 inches from bottom to top

Instructions:

Ch 11 (Should measure about 9 inches long unstretched).

Round 1- Starting with the left side, 2 Sc in second ch from hook, sc in next 8 ch. 2 sc in last ch. Continuing to work in a round, 2 sc in opposite side of last ch. Sc in next 8 ch on the opposite side. 2 sc in last ch. (24 sc) DO NOT sl st with first sc. Continue working over first round. Place marker over next sc to mark beginning.

Round 2- 2 sc in next sc. Sc in next 10 sc. 2 sc in next 2 sc. Sc in next 10 st. 2 sc in last sc in round. (28 sc)

Round 3- 2 sc in next sc. Sc in next 12 sc. 2 sc in next 2 sc. Sc in next 12 st. 2 sc in last sc in round. (32 sc)

Round 4- 2 sc in next sc. Sc in next 14 sc. 2 sc in next 2 sc. Sc in next 14 st. 2 sc in last sc in round. (36 sc)

Round 5+ Sc in each sc around until nest measures about 11 inches. Sl st in last 2 sc when you have reached desired length. Cut yarn and weave in ends.

**OPTIONAL CHANGE TO LAST ROUND** I like to add 2 decreases on each end for the last round to make it form better around baby’s face and bottom. It’s up to you whether you want to do that.

The great thing about this nest is that it is VERY versatile! You can get 2 different looks by flipping it inside out.

You can add 5 inches in length to make for twins! This nest is VERY stretchy and has small holes for peek a boo toes and fingers. Should fit nice and snug for those newborn babies.

Add a couple extra rounds to make a rolled brim or use a super chunky weight yarn for different look and maybe save some yarn. Hope you all enjoy the pattern!

The way I add braids:

I take the same color yarn (still holding 2 together) and cut about 6 strands of each color (about 4 or 5 feet long). Working through the bottom of the earflaps, pull all color A through sc until folded in half. Do the same for the other 2 colors. Tie all colors together, forming the knot directly under the earflap (at the top of the braid). Separate colors and braid colors (I like to braid tightly). When desired length is reached, tie yarn again in a knot at the bottom of the braid. Cut extra yarn off bottom to make ends even. Do the same to the other side and you got yourself an adorable ear flap hat! J

My Munchkin Hat Pattern

2009-09-28T09:07:00.013-05:00

Hello everyone! I have had a number of people ask me for my munchkin hat pattern and after finally sitting down and looking it over many times, I had the opportunity to get the pattern tested by other knitters. They gave me some wonderful feedback and pointers. I FINALLY have it ready for others to use. Although, if you come across a point where you don't understand, please send me a message or email (neannersshop@gmail.com) and let me know because I would love for everyone's hats to turn out looking good. I am posting it on here and you can get to it from Ravelry.com.

If you have positive feedback, please feel free to share. But if you have nothing nice to say, then do as your mom taught you and don't say anything at all. It's frustrating when people don't have something nice to say about a FREE PATTERN especially when I worked really hard to make this pattern my own.

Save money and use this pattern rather than buying one online.

1-2oz of worsted weight yarn- MC

1-2oz of worsted weight yarn- OC

4 dpns size 8

Gauge- 4 stitches x 4 rows in 1 inch (I'm a loose knitter so this may be different for others. The hat should measure about 12-13 inches around and should be stretchy enough to fit a head about 13-14 inches. If you are a tight knitter or just want a bigger size, add stitches in multiples of 4.)

NOTES:

· Many people have found it hard to use the longer dpns towards the end so you can use some short ones towards the end to make it easier although I didn't use them. It can be a pain in the butt and your needles and yarn could get tangled. When I was finished with the first set of decreases, I simply switched to using 2 dpns to hold stitches and one to knit with and it is easier for me that way.

· ***PLEASE NOTE: This hat was designed for photographers to use in newborn photo shoots. If using for anything else, you should leave off the cord because it may become a choking hazard. Someone did suggest to me to just tie the end into a knot and it looks great like that too. Thank you.***

· For the stripes, starting on round 9, switch colors every 2 rounds. You can string the unused yarn behind the other yarn that is in use without having to cut the yarn. Just be sure to hold the unused yarn to the inside of the work. When you are ready to used it again, simply switch the colors and start to work with the other color.

Beanies and Bunny

2009-08-12T20:34:00.002-05:00

Here is a cute little beanie that I made up. I like it. (Don't mind my expression, it was late and I was VERY tired.)

Skull beanie pattern that I made up. It was inspired by another pattern but I changed it up a bit to make it look different.

Here is a cute little bunny and carrot pattern that I crocheted up. Although it is not one of my own patterns. It was in the Crochet Today magazine. I think it was the May/June issue. Gotta make more of these for Christams gifts. It was VERY simple to put together and I actually enjoyed it alot.

New projects done

2009-08-09T16:08:00.002-05:00

I got a knitting book from my brother in law and his wife for my birthday this year. I saw this purse in the book and I loved it so I had to give it a shot. I love how it turned out but I didn't really know what I should do about it being so flimsy. So I went onto Ravelry and saw that other women put a liner and some canvas on the inside to make it more stiff. I will do it eventually but right now, I just have too many other things that I need to make.

I saw this cute headband pattern in "Crochet Today". I think it was the June/July edition but I can't remember. I made it for a photography friend who is always in need of more props. She really liked it. It has interchangable flowers. VERY CUTE!

I also saw these bibs in the same "Crochet Today" magazine. I love the spiral look!

In my last post, I showed pictures of the gray and pink sweater that I took apart but at the time, I was waiting for the pink to dry before I spun it into a ball. This yarn turned out to be my favorite because it didn't just fall apart while I was trying to wind it into a ball. I decided to make some beginner legwarmers for my 18 month old daughter for the winter. We live in Texas so she won't need them for a while but when the time comes, she will be ready. :)

This cute little rabbit was also in the "Crochet Today" magazine as the ones above. My daughter bugged me to make this for days on end. I eventually got so irritated with her that I stopped all other projects to work on this rabbit. It didn't take very long at all and was pretty fun to make. I love the projects that you can see instant progress because you make each little piece and put them together as you go. Now I just need to make 2 more for my other kids. OH, this pattern also comes with a carrot which she is reminding me now that I still need to make. UGH!

"Frogging" also known as Ripping stuff apart

2009-07-18T13:18:00.004-05:00

The last few days, I have been on this kick of taking sweaters apart that I bought a while back to reuse the yarn. I bought about 6 or 7 sweaters from the thrift store for about $1 a piece. Here are the before and after pictures. You may remember some of these pictures from a few months back.

I didn't get a picture of the sweater before I took it apart but here is a picture of what it looked like before the washing stage.

Here is it washed and put into a ball. My cam is not great so the picture is washed out and fuzzy. I didn't feel like taking more pictures. lol

This one is great because I got 2 beautiful colors that don't really look great together but look AWESOME by themselves.

Here is a picture of the gray. The pink is still in the drying process.

This orange one, I wasn't crazy about until I totally took it apart, washed it, and balled it. The orange is just brilliant! A very hard color to find at the yarn stores. GO ME! :)

I LOVE IT!

This red one I got because it is made of a very thin ribbon like yarn.

You probably can't tell because the low quality of the picture but it is very nice looking red ribbon.

Here is my loot! And that isn't even all of it. I used quite a bit of the blue already making washcloths and I haven't even touched the pink but here you go! A very nice looking group, don't you think?

Diaper Cake

2009-07-01T16:05:00.002-05:00

I made a diaper cake for the first time for my sister in law. I did quite a bit of research on the interet before I even started. I used 1 package of newborn (top layer) and 2 packages of size 1 (middle and bottom layer). I added some sock roses to the sides and the back and the washcloth lollipops to the front. I knit the hat and the 2 pacifier holders on each side of the cake. I bought the baby doll and the mommy and baby elephants from Target. For the ribbon around each layer, I used 4 different ribbons (all different widths) and hot glued them together and wrapped around each layer of the cake. I had quite a bit of the purpe ribbon so I wrapped that around the middle portion of the cake to make it look more like a present. I attached the baby doll that way. Other than that, I just hot glued purple and green buttons all over the cake to add a touch of decoration.

Martha Stewart Cupcake Pops

2009-06-22T19:07:00.002-05:00

I am making these cupcake pops for a baby shower next week but wanted to give it a trial run before I actually made them and I am SO glad that I did because the first little batch was too mushy and was impossible to work with. After I added a little more cake, they turned out perfect! They taste VERY yummy and I am SO excited to give them out because they are just the perfect little party favor. You can get the tutorial here: http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2008/04/make-your-cupcakes-pop.html

It is actually a much better tutorail than going to the Martha Stewart website. They show pictures of each step and is VERY easy to follow. Enjoy the pics!

VERY Later Christmas Present

2009-05-30T16:21:00.004-05:00

I went last Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) to get lots of fabric from the fabric store for very cheap because I intended on making my kids quilts. Well I never got around to making them until recently. Here are pictures of the quilt that I just finished.

Full picture

Close up of the squares that I used. I also used embroidering thread to put her name on one of the squares in the middle of the blanket.

Projects- Crib Toy Holder, Baby Washcloth Lollipops, and Baby Sling

2009-05-24T15:39:00.006-05:00

My sister is going to be having a baby soon and a while ago she presented me with some pictures of a crib toy holder that she wanted me to make for her. Well I didn't have that email anymore with the pictures because it had been deleted so I just made my own interpritation of it. Here are some pictures.

Stuffed with toys

Toy holder by itself

Close up of the inside fabric

Bows on the sides

All in all, it took me about 4-5 hours to make from scratch. I made a practice one just to make sure that my idea would work out. It turned out pretty good considering I only had to make a couple minor adjustments. I am very proud! :D

I was browsing the internet in search of ideas for a baby shower and came across these cute little lollipop looking things made of baby supplies. I thought they looked pretty easy to make so I decided to give it a shot.

Here is all the supplies that you need to make such adorable little lollipops. Saran wrap, your choice of ribbon (I used light pink and off white. The thinner the ribbon, the better), tape, baby washcloth, and a baby spoon.

Step 1- Fold the washcloth until it is about 1 inch wide. Then start at one end and roll the washcloth.

This is what it will look like on one side. Tape end down so it doesn't come undone.

Place washcloth on spoon.

Have a piece of saran wrap cut (I used about a 12inX12in piece). Place on table or lap. Place spoon in the center of the wrap and fold saran wrap over top.

Give a little pinch and a slight turn around the middle of the spoon (where my fingers are). Tie some ribbon around spoons stem and....

VIOLA! You are done! Easy huh? :D

Here is a picture of the sling that I made for my sis. I used the same stuff as I did for the toy holder. Although I am not feeling the pocket. I am probably going to take it off and make it look a little different. I haven't decided yet though.

Close up pocket.

Thanks for checking out my projects. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. :)

Day 12- My "No 'Poo" Experiment

2009-05-12T08:59:00.002-05:00

Hmmmmmm. So things were getting more hard everyday because my shampoo was staring me in the face every time I took a shower. My husband has been very encouraging and every time I would tell him that I am going to give up, he would tell me that I should give it a few weeks and if it still isn't working out then it would be ok to not do it anymore. I washed my hair last night with my baking soda and vinegar and this morning I woke up to a HORRIBLE hair day. It is SO greasy and oily and just a complete mess!!!! It seems to not be getting any better and my shampoo is looking better everyday especially today. I am SOOOO tempted to go into the bathroom and wash my hair with my Herbal Essence Shampoo and Conditioner that has a hint of coconut. Although I am kind of desperate for these, so called "results" that I have read all these woman gush about. So for now, i am still going to stick with it and if by day 21, there is no improvement, then I am going to have to stop. As much as I love not having dandruff, I can't stand for my hair to be so oily. It seriously feels like someone dumped a bucket of grease on my head. For now, I am NOT going to take my hair out of my pony tail and suck it up a little especially since I am feeling sick and can't go out to do anything anyway. I will keep in touch.

A FAMILY IN NEED

2009-05-07T12:31:00.000-05:00

I was messing around on Facebook today when I saw a link to an event that a friend of mine was invited to and I couldn't help but look at it. I clicked on it and saw the following flyer:

I could NOT help but feel for that family! Usually when I see flyers for benifits or things like that, they do not effect me at all but then I saw this and I instantly knew that I needed to help. I dont know how but I felt really good about this benefit and I just felt like these people were genuin and they really are desperate for help. So I contacted one of the people on the flyer by email and asked him how I can help. He replied and told me to call him. I called him and left a message. Then I got a second email from him with an attachment of a letter that friends of the family recieved to tell them about the baby's condition. Here is what the letter said:

"To whom it may concern:

This letter is being provided to assist Candice and Ross in their application for services for their son Clayton. Clayton was born February 7, 2008. On February 23, 2009, he was admitted into Texas Children's Hospital. He is diagnosed with heart failure, chronic dilated cardiomyopathy, depressed left ventricle systolic function, history of respiratory failure, enterococcus sepsis, and pulmonary edema.

He has had the following procedures:

Right heart catheterization
Echocardiogram
Chest x-ray
Electrocardiogram
CT Scan
Blood transfusion
Intubation
PICC line placement
Femoral central line placement
Arterial line placement
NG tube placement
Foley tube placement
Peripheral intravenous line placement

He is on the following medications:

Lasix
Milrinone
Zofran
Ativan
Methadone
Vasopressin
Diuril
Xopenex
Morphine
Versed
Heparin
Ampicillin
Gentamicin

Clayton is seriously ill, intubated, and being kept sedated in the cardiovascular intensive care unit. He is unable to eat by mouth so requires TPN for nutrition. He has been evaluated for a heart transplant and is currently listed and awaiting a heart. Once Clayton recovers from his infections, he will have surgery to improve his heart function while he is waiting for a transplant.

It is not possible to predict how long Clayton will remain in the hospital. It is likely that he will have to remain in the hospital until after recovery from transplant surgery. After transplant, he will require close monitoring, clinical appointments, echocardiograms, heart catheterizations, laboratory testing and multiple medications for his entire life.

Sincerely,

Joseph W. Rossano MD"

As far as the benefit goes, everyone is welcome! All of the money raised will go to the family to pay for the medical bills that they will have. PLEASE keep this family in your prayers and if it is possible to donate towards their cause. My heart aches for them because of all that they are going through and as a mother, I can't imagine what she must be feeling right now. That poor baby has already has such a tough and short life and even though I don't presonally know them, I want to do whatever I can to help them out. I feel really good about this family and I can't help but want to spread the word. Thanks for reading and if you can, pass this info along to everyone you know. They will need all the prayers and help that they can get.

My Experiment- Day 6

2009-05-06T13:02:00.004-05:00

Ok so I have washed my hair every other day so far with the baking soda mix and vinager mix. I was brushing my hair today and noticed something VERY significant. NO MORE DANDRIFF! I had a horrible time trying to get rid of the flakes that came off of my scalp after I brushed my hair when I used shampoo. But today, no matter how hard I brushed, my scalp did not have any flakes WHATSOEVER! I can't believe it! So far so good with my no 'poo experiment and I am looking forward to the next few weeks to the end result. Will post more later. :D

My scalp 6 days later!

My "No 'Poo" Experiment

2009-05-01T12:40:00.004-05:00

I have done some research on not using shampoo and decided to give it a try. I haven't been very happy with my hair recently because it is very frizzy and gets oily and nasty and I just can't stand it anymore. I am sort of hoping that this answers my "hair prayers". I have read many MANY articles about the correct way to do this and after I got all my supplies yesterday. I decided what better day to start than on May 1, 2009. I will be making videos of me and posting the progress of my experiment and if I like it enough, which I hope I do, I will go "no 'poo" permanently. Please keep in mind before you get all grossed out that this method is supposed to be WAY better for your hair than shampoo and it is cleaning your hair without stripping the natural oils from your scalp, like shampoo does. It should restore body to your hair without leaving it oily and smelly. The oils that come from your head are good for your hair and everytime you shampoo, the chemicals are stripping those oils and nutrients from your hair and leaving it dry and at times brittle. This is why I wanted to give it a shot because my hair hasn't been looking too good lately and really wanted to try something to make it have more body and easy to manage. Here is my Day 1 experience.

*Day 1*

I took a video of myself before taking a shower of my hair. It had not gotten to the really oily stage as it usually does after 2 days but decided to go ahead with it anyways. I mixed my 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 cup of water in one bowl and also mixed my 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinager with 1 cup of water in another bowl. I got in the shower and applied the baking soda mix to my scalp first then down to the tips of my hair. I let it stand for a minute while I washed my body with soap. Rinsed the baking soda mixture out and my hair felt really hard and course. I couldn't move it too much and couldn't run my fingers through it. It is a very different texture than what I am used to but I am ready for a change so I went ahead with the project. After rinsing, I picked up the vinager mix and started to pour it into my hair and realized VERY quick that I should have waited to wash my body because it doesn't have a pleasant smell. It surprisingly made my hair silky and easy to rub in. I rinsed the vinager mix out then washed my body again with soap. My hair smelt like vinager a little but I read in a post from someone else that the smell does go away. I got dressed and started to brush my hair and WOW, already I am loving this method. I did not have 1 knot in my hair and since my hair is so thick, I knot up very easy. As my hair is drying right now, I smell the vinager less and less although next time I may use less vinager. It feels clean and light right now but I know that the first 2-4 weeks are the hardest. People say they got the best results after the first few weeks. I will post more with my experience in the future. Thanks for reading my blog. :)

Crocheted Hat

2009-04-22T15:57:00.001-05:00

My husband wanted a hat from a book that I got from the library so I decided to give it a try and this is how it turned out. Enjoy!

CUTE Pacifier Holder

2009-04-07T12:13:00.002-05:00

This idea came from a different book that I have been working in recently with all the hats. Even though I am a beginner knitter, I surprise myself at the things that I can do. I was VERY happy with the results of this pacifier holder and I will be making another one in the near future. I will post more pictures soon. ENJOY!

Daisy Baby Hat

2009-04-05T15:36:00.003-05:00

As soon as I found out that my brother and his wife were having a little girl, I started right away on this hat. I got the pattern from a book that helps beginners to knit easy but cute hats for babies and toddlers. I have put all my projects on hold so that I can make a few things for them and their little baby girl. Here are a few pictures. ENJOY!

Baby Sling

2009-03-28T12:23:00.000-05:00

I got a baby sling for my last baby shower and I use it quite a bit. It is green and made of fleece. I was trying to think of new things that I could make and happen to be throwing this in the washer when I realized something. It looks like something I could make! So I pulled out the extra fleece I had and gave it a try. I made one and it didn't turn out too good because I had the fleece cut the wrong way. If you know how fleece works, it is stretchy when you pull it one way but it also has a non-stretchy side. I knew immediately what I had done wrong so I pulled out my second batch of extra fleece and gave it one more shot. It turned out like the pictures below. In fact, this sling seems to be better than the one I have because it holds her in tighter and I do NOT have to use any hands when I walk around. I was shocked that it took me about an hour to make it TOTAL! Now this is something that I can do to make a few extra bucks. :) Let me know what you guys think. I still need to test out some smaller sizes for people that are smaller than me but all in all, it was a HUGE success! Enjoy! :)

You can't tell but she is very snug and wasn't going anywhere, even when she leaned over.

There is a pocket on the back to store a pacifier or keys or whatever.

Side view of the sling. These can be used from ages newborn to like 4 years old.

Another knitted hat

2009-03-19T10:53:00.003-05:00

Here is another hat that I knitted to try to build up my mad knitting skills. I used 100% green and 100% cotton pink for the stripes.

Recycling Old Yarn

2009-03-12T17:02:00.007-05:00

I owe this whole post to http://laughingpurplegoldfish.blogspot.com/

I found this AWESOME idea from her blog and now, I am addicted.

These sweaters are the next to be undone, washed, and recycled into something else wonderful!

Check out my latest victims. :)

I know that you shouldn't use a 2 colored sweater if you are beginner but I think I have advanced into the "easy" mode after doing a few already.

This one will be tricky so I think I will save it for last but I am excited because the yarn looks very promising.

I already have undone this one but forgot to take pictures and have "attempted" to dye it and it did NOT turn out right. (More pictures below)

Oh this one will be good!

This one is made of some sort of ribbon and I am stoked to unravel it.

100% cotton for $1.50. Can't beat that!

I forgot to take a picture of this sweater before hand but it was 50% wool 25 cotton and 25 acrylic. Look at all the yarn I get for $1.50!!

A sweater I had in my closet for years taht I haven't worn since my first pregnancy.

It's gone now!

Here is my attempt at dying using the "food coloring, microwave" approach.

This is me soaking the garment in water and a little lemon juice (I didn't have vinager.)

It was supposed to be light and dark blue (upper left), pink and yellow (upper right), red, pink, and purple (lower right) and then geen and purple(lower right). After a couple rinses, they turned back to the original color of the sweater. :(

My food coloring

A couple mistakes that I KNOW that I made were that I didn't check was the garment was made of before I attempted to dye it because that is a VERY important thing to know. I needed to use vinager in the water to help strip any chemicals that might have been sprayed on it and to help the piece absorb more color but I used lemon juice instead. I also think that I should use the dye that it meant for clothes if I don't know what it is made of. Well there you go. There are some things that I have been working on recently. Enjoy! :)

I just love hats!

2009-03-11T17:46:00.002-05:00

I knitted this hat for a daughter of a friend that is struggling right now. I made it in Texas Longhorns colors. The pattern calls for a brim and a pom on the top but I decided to do without them. The pattern comes from http://kodymayknits.blogspot.com/.

She has a TON of really cute hats that I am dying to try out. They are all her own designs and they are pretty easy to follow as a beginner knitter. ENJOY! :)

Homemade Cloth Diapers

2009-03-08T21:12:00.006-05:00

I made some homemade cloth diapers for my baby a long time ago and I thought I would share with you how I did it. I went to a number of different but very helpful websites to come up with everything. Firstly, I needed a pattern. I tend to work better with patterns because I don't have the patience to make one up myself. I went to http://verybaby.com/ for that pattern. I needed an outside waterproof layer, 2 inside cloth layers, and material for the inserts for the diapers. For the waterproof layer, I decided to search the web for the best price since none of the fabric stores within like 100 miles carried anything like it. I found the best price for that fabric at http://www.celticclothswholesale.com/. You would go under the PUL Fabric section and then click on "PUL fabric by the yard". PUL fabric is very hard to find especially if you are new to sewing. I found out that PUL fabric is laminated on one side to keep moisture from going through. For the 2 inside layers, I used a 100% cotton fabric (that you can get at the same place as the PUL). You can use hemp, cotton, and some people even use fleece. As far as the inserts go, I found a website online that sold stacks of 20 microfiber hand towels to dry your car with. I know it sounds a little silly but these worked WONDERFULLY! They were very absorbant! All I did was but then 12inx12in, folded them in thirds then had them sewn all the way around. I then used them as inserts in the diapers. There are a couple notions that you need here and there but overall, this is pretty much it and I saved a bunch of money making them myself. I calculated them to be aroud $8-9 a piece compared to the ones that you can buy online already made for about $20 a piece. Here are a few pictures of the diapers that I made. ENJOY!

These are all the diapers that I made for size 3-6 months

2009-03-07T22:50:00.000-06:00

Hello there! I made this new blog aside form my personal blog because as much as I would like to keep that one public, you just can't be too careful when you have info about your kids on it. SO, that being said, I decided to make a new blog strictly devoted to all my project that I constantly work on, for the public. I mostly post things about knitting or crocheting with a few sewn projects thrown in the mix. So here it is! WELCOME TO NEANNERS SWET SHOP! I thought the name was appropriate because when I make things and show them to my husband, he tells me that I could make a bunch and sell them! I tried it once making beanies but that was kind of a disaster so I will NEVER do that again, no matter how many times he asks. LOL! Also, shortly after I made the blog, I realized that I misspelled the word "sweat" and wrote in "swet" instead. Oh well! No one is perfect, I guess. I have a ton of ideas that I have gotten from other people that I will eventually post on this blog so come and check in every now and then to see what new stuff I have up. Thanks for checking me out! :)
