I had a baby!

She's here...she's here!!! My 5th addition is here! Ms. Samia Anais has finally made her debut. Weighing a whopping 9 pounds and measuring at 20 inches long, she is definitely my biggest baby. My 2nd biggest baby was only 7 pounds 13 ounces. And omg, this pregnancy seemed like it lasted forever. But it's finally over and I now have my little bundle to love on :-).

New Year's Ear Candy

Happy New Year fellow Divas!!!

I decided to start this new year off right...with new designs of course! :-)

The diamond shaped ones in the bottom left corner are my new favorites. I had a dream about them last night and had to make them this morning. I love having creative dreams, although they don't really make for a good nights rest *shrugs*.

Roundabout Crochet Infinity Scarf

I came up with this scarf because I loved all the infinity scarfs that I've been seeing on Pinterest lately. My days are mainly consumed with kids and work so I really needed something that wouldn't take very long. This scarf is made in a simple v-stitch that works up pretty quickly. It only took me a few hours to make.
