Calling All Sports Fans!!!

It doesn't matter to me who you root for.
In our house, we're Cubs Fans, but I'll make any team I can manage a logo for.

While I am proud of this hat, I will not make another one.

Starting 2014 with a BANG!

After taking a nice break around the holidays, I was welcomed into 2014 with MANY projects!

Here are a few photos of what I've started the year off with...

Chicago Blackhawks

I think this hat is one of my proudest moments...Blackhawks Earflap Hat with Pom Pom.
Although I cannot take credit for the actual design (I used a combination of photographs of hats others were selling), I did not have a pattern to work from and had to make everything up myself.

Slippers

My cousin had me make her a pair of slippers.  I'm highly considering making myself a pair...when I have the time.

Slippers shown are Women's Size 6.5 in Black

She also had me make a pair for her boyfriend!!

Slippers shown are Men's Size 8 in Maroon

Christmas is in 5 weeks!!

Thanksgiving is already 1 week from tomorrow and Christmas is 5 weeks from today!!
How the holidays sneak up so quickly every year is beyond me!

I also just started a Facebook Page for CJP Crochet Creations, so you can contact me here, there, or via email at cjpcreations@gmail.com.

Off and running...

October was quite a busy month for me.  Almost everything that I made has been added to this blog.  Here are some photos of items I finished within the last week or 2. (More to come!)

I made some Jazz Stripe Toddler Mittens to match my daughter's Hat and Scarf

Specialty Items

To follow along on Christmas 2012, my mom requested some towel toppers and a table runner.  Both entered new territories for me. (Pattern locations to be posted later.)

Blue Towel Topper

Ivory Sparkle Table Runner

With all of the extra yarn I had left over from the infamous Christmas 2012, I took a shot at making some baby booties from a pattern I found here.  Although cute, not every baby agrees to keep them on...this was my daughter.

After going public with my skills, my dad requested some specialty items as well for around the house.
