If you're wondering how I added the Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and Pintrest buttons I found a how-to page that explained how to do it all and provided the code!
Here is the website that I got the code from.

VootBeer
I made a Root Beer cocktail by splitting a 50ml bottle of Absolut Vanilla vodka and bottle of A&W Root beer between my mom and I. It was a nice smooth, sweet drink.

Vegetarian crock-pot recipes
It's very hard to find a list of vegetarian crock-pot recipes. So, I thought I'd give it a go. I want to make a list of vegetarian crock-pot meals. Once I have made a pretty good list on here, and I will continue to update it as I find more vegetarian recipes, I want to take regular crock-pot recipes and try to alter them using veggie crumbles, chick'n strips, veggie dogs, and the like. If a recipe called for chicken broth I did NOT include it in my list. However, when I remake some recipes that call for things like that and I replace them I will be making a new list that has the recipes I have made and altered, along with the original links.
Breakfast
Some times vegetarian crock-pot breakfasts can be hard to find. So, here are a few.
Easy Apple Breakfast Cobbler
Steel Cut Oats
Whole, multi-grain cereal with apple sauce
Overnight Porridge
Main Dishes
Sloppy Lentils instead of Sloppy Joes
Ratatouille
Zucchini Lasagna
Indian
Vegetable Curry
Another Vegetable Curry
Yet Another Vegetable Curry
Soups
Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup in the Slow Cooker (or on the stove-top)
Minestrone Soup
Broccoli Cheese Soup
Vegetable Broth This is great if you're trying to get away from processed foods. You can use vegetable broth in place of chicken or beef in almost every recipe!
Hearty Lentil Stew
Taco Soup Uses Morning Star Farms Ground Crumbles
Tuscan White Bean Soup
Moroccan Red Lentil Soup
Corn Chowder and Squash Soup(2 recipes on 1 page)
Split Pea Soup
Vegetable Cheese Soup
Side Dishes
Crock-pot baked potatoes
Mac and Cheese
Mac and 4 Cheeses
Non-Refried "Refried" Black & Pinto Beans Bean Dip
Pinto Beans
Greek Potatoes
Herb Roasted Potatoes
Cheesy Potatoes
Casseroles
Lentil and Brown Rice Casserole
Here is another list of vegetable crock-pot recipes. I don't know if these are vegetarian though.

Broccoli cheddar soup
I found this wonderful recipe on pintrest for a yummy broccoli cheddar soup: http://www.mangiodasola.com/2009/11/broccoli-cheddar-soup.html
I didn't have enough cheddar so I used a handful, about 1/2 cup of grated cheddar, 8oz of Velveeta, and what I had left of colby Monterey jack cheese which was about 1/4 of a cup.
I also used veggie broth instead of chicken broth.

Peanut butter, marshmallow and chocolate chip sandwich
I have a new sandwich maker that I have fallen in LOVE with!
I decided to make a dessert sandwich.
I took a piece of wheat bread, the kind with seeds in it, and put peanut butter on on side and put the plain bread side down on one side of the grill. I did the same to wonderbread on the other side of the grill. Then I put mini marshmellows and chocolate chips on top of the peanut butter. Next, I put a little bit more peanut butter on the another slice of kind of bread and put the peanut butter side down and closed the grill for about 1-2 minutes, just enought to brown the wonderbread, since you can't tell if the wheat bread is really browning.
It tasted so good!

Pesto grilled cheese
I keep finding "grown up" versions of grilled cheese sandwiches. I love grilled cheese, but I LOVE the grown up versions I am finding now and I want to try them all.
I found this pesto grilled cheese sandwich and I had to try it!
http://www.closetcooking.com/2010/05/spinach-pesto-grilled-cheese-sandwich.html?m=1
I used slices of gruyere cheese and put the pesto between the slices. I also didn't have spinach pesto, so I just used whatever green pesto I had. Lol
OMG it tasted so good! Definitely one I'd recommend.

Spinach Saag
I made Spinach Saag for dinner tonight from this recipe:
http://lola-elise.com/recipes/spinach-saag
I didn't have fresh ginger so I used a few "dashes," as my grandmother would say, of ground ginger powder instead.
I also didn't have coriander so I just left it out.

Creation hiatus
I haven’t created anything since about June 2011. I started a new job and have been overwhelmed with going to college full time and working full time.
I really need to crochet or sew something soon or I think I might explode! Lol
Hopefully I’ll have something new to post!
I have become addicted to pintrest.com in my spare time if you have an account find me! I’m Thimblefairy on there too!
Don’t forget I’m also on swapbot, but I haven’t been on there in months either!
Have a great day everyone!

Adipose from Dr. Who
This is an image of the Adipose from Dr. Who.
I was so excited when I found this pattern! The pattern can be found on Ravelry, here.
When I first did the feet they came out like the foot on the left, a little off then I altered the pattern slightly and came up with the foot on the right. I re-did the other so that they matched and they looked great! Pattern for the feet is under the photo.
I found the pattern to be a bit confusing when I got to Rnd 3 of the feet, when it came to making the “toes.”
Working in back loop, sc in next 6 sts,
When it came to this part: working in both loops, [sc, trc, sc] in the
next 5 dc (toes made), I did it a bit different. I did the first sc and the trc normal, but the second sc I did differently. I inserted the hook from the back, drew up a loop and pulled it through, this made a loop over my hook and yarn that I was using, so I then pulled the hook through the large loop so that it wouldn't make a knot. I then yo and pulled through the 2 loops, finishing the sc and continued on. I did this for every second sc that was needed to make the toes.
I then continued as the pattern followed:
working in back look, sc in next 4 sts, move up marker
(22 sc, 5 trc)
All in all I LOVE how he came out! Another favorite!!
*When I sewed on the mouth I went under one stitch so it would make it look like a tooth, just like the actual Adipose from Dr. Who.
**Row counts are off by one stitch starting at rnd 5. Rnds 5-26 should have 1 more stitch than indicated. Rnds 28-31 continue with the correct counts.

Hello Kitty
I think Hello Kitty is so cute! I found this pattern, here. I altered it, of course. lol I have mostly seen HK in red and pink, so those are the colors that I used. I also attached 2 small yellow buttons. I fashioned her after this image:
The eyes I followed the pattern for the nose, magic ring of 6 sc, which I sewed onto the face making an oval as I sewed it on.
For the whiskers I used yarn instead of felt. I made a sort of "cross" shape by tying one short string to another in the middle and cut one end to make a short to T shape. I then pulled the strings through stitchs to make the whiskers.
I didn't like the bow that came with the pattern so I made this one up:
-Bow-
Row 1: ch 8, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across: 7 sc
Rows 2-3: ch 1, turn, working in back loops only, sc in each sc across: 11 sc
Border: do not turn, sc in along side of each row, in each ch across bottom, and along other side of each row.
Slip stitch until the middle of the bow, about the 4th sc in from the side, cut yarn, leaving long tail with last slip stitch on your hook still. After you cut the yarn, pull it through the slip stitch. Wrap tail around bow and tie in a knot. Then wrap the tail around the bow until it is the desired size pull tail under all of the loops you just made, this will secure it. With the remaining tail sew bow on.
The body I also altered:
-Body-
(In red)
Round 1: 6 sc into magic ring (6)
Round 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12)
Round 3: sc in next st, 2 sc in next sc, around (18)
Round 4: sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next sc, around (24)
Round 5: sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next sc, around (30)
Round 6: sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next sc, around (36)
Round 7: sc around (36)
Round 8: sc in next 4 sts, dec over next 2 sts, around (30)
Round 9-10: sc around (30)
(switch to Pink)
Round 11: sc in next 3 sts, dec over next 2 sts, around (24)
Round 12-14: sc around (24)
Round 15: sc in next 2 sts, dec over next 2 sts, around (18)
Round 16: sc around (18)

Australian Koala
I love koalas, I don't know why but I do. They're so cute! I found this pattern, here. It came out so cute, but I thought he needed to be holding something. So, I printed 2 AUS flags and glued them onto a toothpick. Then I sewed the flag between his hands.
Washclothes
These are the first washclothes I have ever crocheted. I like how they came out.
The pink circle one I used 100% cotton, it has little strings sticking out so I thought that would be good for scrubbing. The pattern can be found, here.
The pink, purple and white square I used a cotton blend; 50% cotton, 20% flax, 25% viscose, 5% acrylic. I can't find the pattern now though, but it was a dc and hdc pattern. I also made one of a sc and dc pattern, which is this patter, here.

Heart with wings and crown
I originally found this pattern for a flying heart, here, but I didn't like the wings. I did however use that pattern for the heart though. I didn't know how to join the two parts needed in the heart and I found this tutorial, here, and it helped a lot.
So I used the idea from wings from the Snitch pattern, which can be found in the previous posting, but altered it. The pattern for the wings can be found below.
For the crown, I couldn't find a pattern the right size, so I made one up, it can also be found below.
I was telling my boyfriend about this one and as I described it I said it looked like those tattoo hearts with wings. I laughed and said I should make all the tattoos I want in amigurumis, because I can't have tattoos due to a metal allergy! So my quest will be to make tattoo amigurumis soon!
This is probably my favorite thing I've made so far! I absolutely love it!
St = Stitch
Sc = Single crochet
Dec = Decrease: Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.
Inc = Increase: Work 2 single crochet into designated stitch
Crown
Ch 23, turn
Row1: 1 sc in each of the 22 stitches, ch1, turn
Row 2: * 1 sc in the next 3 stitches, ch1, turn
Row 3: Dec, sc, ch1, turn
Row 4: Dec, slip stitch in to the third stitch of second row, repeat from * three times
Finish, but don't cut the yarn too short. Use that yarn to sew the ends together and to sew the crown to the heart.
Wings
Row 1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook(needs to be like this NOT in a magic ring). Ch 1, turn
Row 2: *2 sc, inc, 1 sc* repeat twice (10 sc). Ch 1, turn
Row 3: *sc, [sc, inc] 3 times* sc 3times (13). Ch 1, turn
Row 4: sc across (13) turn, do not ch 1 yet!
Row 5: [ch 6, sl to in next sc] repeat twice, [ch 3, sl to in next sc] repeat twice, [ch 4, sl to in next sc] repeat 3 times, [ch 3, sl to in next sc] repeat 4 times, [ch 2, sl to in next sc] repeat twice

Row 2: *2 sc, inc, 1 sc* repeat twice (10 sc). Ch 1, turn
Row 3: *sc, [sc, inc] 3 times* sc 3times (13). Ch 1, turn
Row 4: sc across (13) turn, do not ch 1 yet!
Row 5: [ch 6, sl to in next sc] repeat twice, [ch 3, sl to in next sc] repeat twice, [ch 4, sl to in next sc] repeat 3 times, [ch 3, sl to in next sc] repeat 4 times, [ch 2, sl to in next sc] repeat twice
Crobot and Snitch
A friend of mine really wanted SOMETHING, anything, as long as I crocheted it for her. So I made her this Bopbot from the book Crobots. I think he's kinda cute and I'm happy how he came out. I realized I missed one row, but I still like how it came out!
I made this Snitch for me. I love Harry Potter and when I found this pattern, here, I had to make it!

Finished Teacup gift
These are the teacups I made for my, now ex-boyfriend's Nan.
I added a MB on the tea tag of the large cup for her initials.
I used the same pattern as posted in previous postings. The large teacup is my own pattern and can be found in my blog.

My first pattern, a Teacup!!
I'm extremely excited to show off my first pattern. I took the idea from the previous teacups I've made from patterns that I slightly altered. But this one I re-invented and added so much to it!
It make a life-size teacup now.
I made this for my boyfriend's Nan. She loves tea and has a brown and tan living room. So I wanted to make it brown, but added blue to make it interesting. I love how it came out. I hope she loves it as much as I do!
Here are some images of the teacup itself and the pattern will follow the photos.
Before I added the bottom rim:
Here you can see the bottmo and bottom rim better.
I originally found a pattern for a teacup bookmark, I used that to make a few keychains. Well then I altered it so much, that I consider it mine. I made a medium sized teacup and made my own pattern. I wrote it all down. So here it is. If you don't understand please leave a comment and I'll try to help out as much as I can!
