Buzzzzzzzz................

Well I did it again.... I MADE MY OWN PATTERN!!!! :) Its just a simple beanie type hat but its too cute! I had a request for a bumble bee outfit and so I started on the hat and couldnt find any free patterns that were cute so I made my own. I am so in love with how it came out and want to share! The bottom pattern will come soon :)

I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. -Psalm 16:8

Sound the Alarms!!

First LuLu's Crafts order is complete!! I am so excited to share!! This hat however was no simple task. I wanted to make it without paying for a pattern so of course I went to trusty ole ravelry.com and looked for patterns. They had one so I tried it first and it didnt work so the next thing I tried was looking at a picture and making my own. That endeavor was a complete FAIL!!! After about a week of trying and tons of failed attempts I broke down and bought a pattern. I found it online on http://www.peapodaccessories.com/ . I can however say it came out so cute and perfect!! I love it! Well here it is.......... LuLu's Crafts Newborn Fireman Hat :D


























P.S. When making a blog post you must hit publish to post ;) This one has been sitting here a while.....oopsy!!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. -Phillipians 4:13 :)

MIA but for Good Reason

I know I have been MIA for a couple of days but I have been working on a huge project...... making my own pattern!! :) I am super excited and hope to share it with you tonight if not tomorrow for sure. I have also been making a few other things just to pass the time and to have some fun. On another note, I have found my day is filled with looking on Ravelry at patterns and I have decided that I am going to make one of everything I think is cute just to increase my crochet abilities and hopefully make some sales. Well back to pattern making :)

Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God; -Psalm 86:2

Beary Cute!



Introducing Beary Cute Bear!! I am in love with this pattern! I had never bought a pattern before and this one was just too cute to pass up :) I thought it would be harder than it was. The designer had the best details and instructions. I got the Silly Ole' Bear pattern from Fiber Doodles by K4TT. So far it is my favorite pattern to make. My bears couldn't have come out any better! 

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;  does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;  does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;  bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. -1Corinthians 13:4-7

The Beginning of Something New

A few days ago I decided to start a craft blog :) I'm highly excited about it! I craft quite a bit and would like to sell a few things because they are over taking my living room lol However before selling I feel I need to have a few things established like well of course a name for my "craftiness"(since its not a legit business..... i.e no business license, no store, ect.). So I chose LuLu's. That's the name my grandfather calls me and has called me since I was little bitty so it seemed like a good name. Another thing was putting my new blog name on my Ravelry and Facebook and things of that nature. However the most important thing was to make sure that God was first and foremost in my "craftiness". He will ALWAYS come first and foremost no matter what so all my crafts are going to be made to honor Him and His glory! I am hoping to get posts up in the next few nights with all the crafts I have made and get pictures up with them. So be on the look out!!  For now though it is bed time for LuLu :) Good Night!



P.S. I am also going to end each post with a bible verse that I feel on my heart and tonight I will post my two favorites :)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John 3:16

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. - Proverbs 3:5-6
