Breast Cancer Awareness

Last night I was wondering what to crochet. Finally I thought about Breast Cancer ribbons. My grandma was diagnosed with Breast Cancer a few years ago and lost her hair during chemotherapy. It still hasn't all grown back. So anyway I whipped up a ribbon that looks a little like mine. This is not the one one I made but It's close enough. I have made seven or eight of these. I plan to put a magnet or a pin on the back of them.

How I Made Them:


  • chain 23
  • in the 2nd chain 1 sc 
  • sc in the rest of the chains
  • bind off
  • make work into ribbon shape
  • sew into place

Minnie Mouse

My sister's birth day is in April so I decided to make her a minnie mouse hat. Don't worry she is two and a half and obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Her favorite character is Minnie mouse. This is a picture of the hat I found on repeatcrafterme.com. I'm making only the minnie mouse hat  Maybe I will make the Mickey Mouse hat for my teen brother! He will. LOVE it:-)
