Two down!

Hip Hip Hurray! I am happy to report that I have been able to cross a few items off my unfinished projects list. First I sewed the buttons onto my shawl, then I finished a corner to corner blanket that I had started two months back. Once I was done with that I pulled out a cream and gold colored shawl I was working on (same as I made myself different color) and I finished that too. I even put the buttons on it lol. (Pats self on the back). When I first started Heart 2 Heart the main focus was baby clothes. I love to crochet baby clothes because there is nothing better than a well dressed baby. It makes people happy to see babies dressed up cute and I love to make people happy. I love to give gifts and when I share my creation with someone I feel like I shared the gift of my love. My heart is in that project, my soul, a piece of me sent to make someone happy. There really is no better feeling. Enough of the sappy stuff though I bet you are dying to see this shawl I have been babbling on about. Ok, go ahead and scroll a little.

So what do you think? Worth the hype or no? I simply love it. People think because I live in Florida now that it doesn't get cold but it does. Well at least it does here in Orlando where I live. Plus not sure if you notice restaurants, coffee shops, and stores tend to keep it real cold. This shawl is perfect to take some of that chill off! Like I said I also made one in a cream and gold color. It
doesn't have a hat though. Here it is:

I used a yarn that I don't normally use for this particular shawl. It's Loops and Thread Glitter. I really like it and I think I am going to buy some and make shawls in other colors too.

Now, I know this is off topic but I have been asked why I named my blog Chaotic Crochet if my business name is Heart 2 Heart. Do I hope that the blog will boost the business and the business will boost the blog? Of course who wouldn't but they are two different parts of me and I wanted that to be obvious. Heart 2 Heart is my business. There you get to see finished products available for sale. This is my blog where you get to see me, all of me. Sometimes (most times) I will be happy, cheerful, and silly. There will be times that I am frustrated or sad about a failed project. Here I hope to show you wips (works in progress), failed attempts, items that I only crocheted for friends and family and may never make it into the store for some reason or another. This blog is all that I am which helps to make up my business. Really, I hope to begin interacting with people through this blog. All are welcome, well all positive people are welcome. No one wants to get online to read a bunch of negativity. I hope that you will share your patterns with me, your ideas, your constructive criticisms and your general comments. Who knows we may just become fast friends!!!! I am new at this so it may be a little rocky in the beginning but hang in there with me.

Anyway talking to you all is great motivation. I am going to try and work on something tonight. I have a dog bed, sailor dress (that will take awhile), a t-shirt, a purse, and a giraffe blanket to finish. All of those are still in their beginning stages. Not to mention I am itching, I mean really itching to create a skirt for my daughter's Our generation doll. I want it to have have the look of those fifty's dresses can't recall what they were called. It is on the tip of my tongue or in this case tip of my fingers ha ha ha . Anyway can't think of it but it is the dresses with all the fringe but I want this one to be a skirt. I think it will be cute.

Well, friends it is about time for me to go. Of course I could chat all day but I do have work to do but I will be back soon to tell you what this chaotic crocheter is up to, till then stay crafty!
