Make & Take ♥ Hot Pink Crochet Fun

 

 

I wanted a hot pink scarf... and I almost purchased one until my friend Warren reminded me I could make one and it would be less expensive!  It look less than one skein of Caron's Simply Soft yarn in Watermelon.  

♥Crochet a chain as wide as you want the scarf
♥Half double crochet in the third chain from hook and across the rest of the row
♥Single crochet two chains and turn
♥Half double crochet in back loops only (this makes a cool pattern)
♥Continue this pattern:
Single crochet two chains and turn
Half double crochet in back loops only
♥Until the scarf is the length you desire
♥Add fringe on both ends of your scarf

Rock your hot pink or whatever color you prefer easy crochet scarf!

News to Use ♥

This isn't really news, but it's amusing nonetheless!  Nothing like some horrifying dates to get you in the Halloween spirit.

He made her blood run cold“A friend of a friend called me for a date, and we agreed to go for a walk. Things were going well, until he mentioned that he was a member of a secret church in which the only women allowed were ‘goddesses.’ He started talking about vampirism but was elusive about his own vampire status, saying ‘Real vampires never say they’re vampires.’ Needless to say, the date ended really quickly after that!”

Bookends ♥ Vampire Academy

I absolutely loved the first book in the Vampire Academy series.  My friend Theresa bought me the entire set (at least the first five books) for Christmas.  I'm finally just reading the first one (sad, I know) and it was AWESOME... such a great read.  Vampires, hormones and a hidden world of guardians and royalty... whats not to love?  Also, a bit of the book is set in Portland, Oregon.  (hometown shout out!)  I also love this even though it's a very minor part of the book.  I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a light, fun and highly entertaining read.  I can't wait to start the next one tomorrow.  ♥♥♥

Nail It ♥ Coming up hearts

I asked for a little black heart on my toe.  I had no idea how difficult this would be.  I felt bad the lady was working on the little hearts on my big toes for so long, but this one turned out pretty cute.
