Pumpkin Hat...how cute it this?

I, like may people around me, am catching a bug. Not one that includes a stuffy nose, headache, cough, sore throat, or fever, but a craft bug. Well, I sure hope I'm not catching the "flu" bug as so many are. But lately, I've really been wanting to learn how to sew well(ok..first step here would be to learn my "new" sewing machine that my folks picked up for me at a garage sale back in June), and crochet. I would love to be able to make all the neat things people are selling. We sure could use some extra cash and I think it'd be fun. Not to mention the fact that they make great baby shower gifts.

I've pretty much convinced myself to take a beginners Crochet class through the City. Well, first, they have to get enough interest to put on a beginners class...so if anyone out there wants to learn to crochet with me...let me know! I'm hoping to learn to make some of those adorable hats for baby girls that are in all the professional pics I've been seeing. Heck..maybe I can figure out a manly enough hat for Craig to wear as well. I did find the above pumpkin hat and an acorn hat that was stinking cute..that would make an adorable fall photo in the leaves!

One of these days, I'm going to make a date with my sewing machine and hopefully become an accomplished crafty SAHM (which, is short for Stay at home mom, which now isn't short for it, since I typed it out anyways).
