Summer Coming to an End

Well it is August 25th, in seven days it will be September. We all know what Semptember means, don't we? It means back to school or for some of you back to work with no more sunny holidays. Winter well soon be were so ther will be no more playing outside in the sun.

Even though the hot sun well be gone we crafters can have a up side. When you are knitting it warms you up. You may not be able to do it out side like you did in these last four months, but you can be in your house on a comfy arm chair, wrapped in a warm blanket, with a stiming cup of coco, and doing your favorite craft.

Even though Summer is coming to an end you can still look forward to all that and Christmas will come soon too. So you will have even more of a reason to craft. Because I always find that the best reason to craft is that you are making it for someone.

Great Craft Sites

As you already now I loving almost every kind of craft. And with loving crafts so much you got to know the right sites to go to. I myself have four sites that are great for craft people a great for meeting other crafters.
First off if you want to find knitting patterns I think you should go to www.KnittingPatternCentral.com for it has everything on knitting and 100's of knitting patterns. From Bags, Totes and Purses to Barbie Fashion. If you don't knit though, but have a pasion for crochet then you would love www.CrochetPatternCentral.com .

My two last sites are mostly for talking. The first one is www.craftbubble.com which is just a wonderful site. You can meet so many people all over the world that like crafts just as much as you do. So if you want to meet new friends then sing up. If you already are then hay look up youngcrafter and add me to your friends list.
My next one is www.ravelry.com where you can put down your projects your working on and say how far you are. You basicly take about and do things that involve your projects, but it is still fun to go on sometimes.

Mother's Day

The day that mothers wait all year around for is coming up in two days. Oh no you say, we'll then you must be that one kid in your family that always forgets. No, you say. Well you must be the other one that wants to get your mother something that she will treasure, keep, and use forever. Well all mothers love nothing more then something that was made by none other then by your hands and love. Thats why knowing how to crochet, knit, cross stitch, or even card making comes in hand when mothers day comes around the corner.

Baby Buzzy Bee

I got this pattern from http://crafty-anna.blogspot.com/. So go to her blog to get more cool patterns just like this.

Materials:- Crochet hook E4 / 3.5 mm
- Worsted weight acrylic yarn in yellow, black and white
- Polyester fiberfill
- 6mm black safety eyes
- Yarn needle
- Sewing needle
- Black pipe cleaner

Rnd 3: [Sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc] 3 times (15).

Rnd 4: [Sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc] 3 times (18).

Rnds 7-8: sc in each sc around (24).
Pause to attach eyes between Rnds 3 and 4.
Using a length of black yarn split down to 2 ply and a sewing needle, stitch mouth onto Rnd 1.
To make antennea, cut a black pipe cleaner in half. Cut a length of black yarn and tie and knot it around the center of a piece of black pipe cleaner a few times. This will create a little ball at the tip of the antennea. Bend the pipe cleaner in half and insert the ends into the bee's head between Rnds 5 and 6. Leave about 1"-1.5" of the antennea sticking out of the bee's head. With the pipe cleaner that is inside the bee's body, bend the two pieces at a 90 degree angle to anchor the antennea in place. For added strength, you may want to stitch the pipe cleaner "tails" to the bee's body using a length of yellow yarn. Repeat with other half of the pipe cleaner for the other antennea.
