Baby earrings?

Sorry for the no post yesterday....I was pulling apart a DSL modem, a satellite receiver box, and cable modem. That and after posting for a week and a half straight, not going to lie, I wanted a break. But I was a crafting fool! I found an obscene amount of copper wire in the satellite receiver box. It took me about 20 minutes, some patience, and a hammer to get it, but it was well worth it! I made some cool earrings by crocheting the wire. Sorry for the slightly blurry picture, but I have found it's very difficult to take pictures of earrings since they're so small.

Pattern with size E hook:
Ch 4, 6 dc., tie off. Tuck in ends. I flattened them, and then shaped them....it's that easy :) I added some "washers" (they're not really washers, I don't think, but I don't know what else to call them) to balance out the fact that I only had silver fish hooks. However, I think they turned out rather nice.

I also decided to use the cover for the satellite receiver as a new earring holder, as my current one (a metal screen) is getting full.

I have recently took an interest in hairpin lace. It seems fairly easy although you have to have a loom to crochet it. I checked out looms online and they seem to be about $40, which is $40 I don't really want to spend. So I also looked online to get ideas to make my own. It is still in the process of being made, so pictures will come later.

I finally finished the baby shirt! I did change it, as I stated before, and I'm fairly happy with the results. What do you think? Not sure if I mentioned before about making matching shoes or not, but this is the pattern I will be looking at:

It's the cutest pattern for booties I've found. Believe it or not, there are some ugly booties out there, and it's a good thing that babies don't have a sense of fashion!

Flower thong pattern...FINALLY!

Here is the long awaited pattern for the flower thong. I did use a smaller hook than what I had used on the purple undies, but I similarly used crochet size 10 thread. Flower Thong Pattern: **Pattern is worked starting with the string, then the body of the thong, then the ties. sh= shell= 3 dc in one st **NOTE: I made this pattern to fit me...I wear about a 6 size undies. If you wear bigger or smaller, you will need to adjust the ties accordingly. I also made the ties so they could be just double knotted, not tied in bows, so if that's what you're looking for, you would need to add more as well. Also this pattern is for personal use only, please do not sell the pattern or the undies, as I am giving it to you for free and it took several hours to write it down. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and please let me know if I need to tweak the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!** Ch 60, sc in 2nd from hook and in each ch. When you get to end ch, 5 sc & “go around corner”. Sc in ea
