Jack Skellington Inspired Cup Cozy

So I made a cup cozy today. I think that it turned out super cute :) I seen a picture on pinterest and just went for it! I LOVE Nightmare Before Christmas! The hubby however does not so I JUST had to make one ;). I love Jack Skellington! Plus I am in love with Disney of course! So here is my version!

As you can see this wraps around and buttons together. This can be used for hot and cold drinks :) It is 9" long and stretchy so it will fit around a 10 oz. cup to a 32 oz. cup. 

YAY! The next one I will be working on is going to be Mike Wazowski! 

If you are looking for a free crochet pattern just for the pattern you can look here . I love the patterns from Sarah at Repeat Crafter Me. She is simply amazing and inspires me for a lot of my crochet work! Thanks Sarah!!

Have a super day!!

Intro to Bagle's Beanies

Today I will give you a small intro to Bagle's Beanies. Where did you come up with Bagle? It is spelled wrong? Well in high school I took the stats for the wrestling team. Each year I received a hoodie and on the sleeve it said B. Argyle (maiden name). So the wrestlers started to call me Bargle :) Very unique nickname. Then they decided it was just too "manly" so we changed it to Bagle. The name has always stuck :)

I started to crochet about 3 years ago. My mother-in-law taught me how to make hot pads because it was one continuous stitch. Slowly for me that was just to boring :) I turned on the tv one day and seen they were crocheting granny squares. So I decided that I would try some. Then after I made a few I thought I just may as well make a blanket. So I made a blanket big enough to cover a full size blanket for my mom. I made it to match my room at home.

I started looking online for patterns that I could slowly crochet and I seen the famous owl beanies :) of course I just HAD to make one! Luckily my husband's cousin was having an open house for her little one Ammon to come into the world :) so I was so excited to give it to her :)

Brennon "trying" the beanie on for size :)

It isn't a very good picture but it was my very first picture :) Slowly I started getting more and more requests for this beanie. Then just making owl beanies wasn't enough for me! I had to find more beanies to make. It was easy money for me I thought. Never did I realize that this was going to be my favorite thing!! I make beautiful things with yarn ;) So I decided that I was going to make some beanies for my nieces and nephews. We have 13! We had a reunion coming up and I thought I could make it my deadline to get it all done. By the time the reunion came I still had 6 to make. I never thought I could get them finished....but I did! Never have my fingers moved so fast in my life. (I can crochet a lot faster now). I finished the last beanie right before we had the pictures taken :)

Here they are!!

Later after that one of my friends told me to start my Etsy account. I set it up and it boomed within a few weeks! :) So now here I am :) I will show you close ups of these beanies and hope that you enjoy them. Keep in mind that most are Disney Inspired. They are in no way affiliated with the movie makers :) They just give me inspiration :) (Pinterest does too :) )

New Blog!! :)

Well hello there!! I am so new to a blog so this is going to be a learning challenge for me :)! I wanted to share part of my business and part of my life. I crochet beanies mostly but I am expanding my crocheting techniques and ideas. So I will post all my new items I have made. These items are always for sale on my Etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/baglesbeanies. I also want to share the amazing life that I have with my wonderful husband!

We have been married for a little more than 2 years. We are hoping to soon start a little family of our own so we can fill our house. I will give you a little background on us :)

I met my husband Brennon when I started going to church "Singles Ward" in the LDS church in August of 2009. It is for young single adults. We had been in clogging several years before but we were just different people then and both just too shy. Anyways...we started texting when he was on a hunt and when he came back from his hunt we started to hang out. We both liked other people at the time so we stayed friends until about January of the following year. We dated for a few months then broke it off. And of course a few months later he realized it was a mistake and wanted me back :). So we dated and dated and dated for what seemed like forever (but it wasn't!). We went down to Bryce Canyon for New Years and at 11:30pm he asked me to be his wife. He picked out the ring and everything!!!

It was the best day of my life! There is such a long story behind our engagement!! I just about broke up with him the night before. Good thing I didn't!! Everyone at the party was so happy for us! We started planning our wedding the next day and decided our wedding to be on August 6, 2011. A LONG TIME! I KNOW! But we had to wait for his best friend, who was to be his best man, to come home from his mission.

We had some great engagements done! My husband is big into hunting so this picture below was one of our very favorites. It was not planned. It just so happened that a large herd of deer were just grazing in the meadow where we had pictures done!

Then shortly after that I had my bridals done :)

We were married in the Manti Temple for time and eternity :) BEST DAY EVER! 

We have both been working. He works in retail and I work at an Assisted Living. We bought a house in 2012 and hope to fill it soon :)

We made a deal with each other that we would each go on a vacation of the others' choice. My husband is a HUGE Denver Broncos fan...so of course we went to Denver to watch them play against the Chiefs. Awesome game :) And I chose to go to Disney World. The deal was after that then we would try for a family :) We are so excited for the life ahead of us! We have been on an incredible journey and we know that it doesn't just stop here! 

So here I raise my glass and say HAPPY BLOGGING :) Enjoy my crochet work and my life :)
