Are your slippers feeling outdoorsy?<br />
I'm so excited because i've had this on my pattern to-do list for years!! and it's finally done. This pattern comes in 14 sizes, from Baby/Toddler size 5 all the way up to Men size 14. This pattern doesn't come with a slipper pattern, it's just the soles made with jute that you can add to your crocheted/knitted slippers or even thick slipper socks. In this video, my 1 year old daughter is wearing her Little Oma Slippers with their new jute soles. : ) The adult pair at the end are the Lola Slippers with jute soles. Enjoy!!

Another thing i love to do is play with designing and graphics. I've been slllloooowwwwllly (like a slow snail) learning how to use photoshop for graphic design with online tutorials and videos. One day I will send myself through a class so I can learn more and learn it faster (like a fast fox). Here is something I worked up for <a href="http://www.designwarschallenge.com/">DesignWars</a>.<br />

It's the Galilee Booties! I'm pretty excited about this pattern (love it!). I've attempted this pattern a couple times in the past couple years and had trouble getting the right shape so kept putting it off. I tackled it again, determined to get it right and it worked! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm in love with this Bootie. They work up quick and are fun to make. I love using color, mixing and matching color is very fun and so for me, these booties are perfect. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This pattern comes in sizes Newborn to 24 mo and is available for purchase in both <a href="http://www.mamachee.etsy.com/">etsy</a> and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/stores/tara-murray-designs-mamachee">ravelry</a>.</div>

If I ever miss breakfast, you can be sure that it was not an idea of mine...and if I haven't eaten my breakfast within an hour of waking, I'm probably sick.<br />
: )<br />
<br />
I make pancakes a lot and try my very best to add some nutrition to them.<br />
<br />
Topping #1 - Fruit<br />
<br />
I really like to heat up frozen blueberries for a yummy topping. Sliced bananas and strawberries is my second favorite.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7A-k46QoBtcmiHryGPwgjbeYe6Dc4FCPpWOXMTvw5oB9dFb80HT5ht4n33vlhTv00aWiOpb7quFBAjB6OYvHrfhSGqf4lTarv_cIxz2RzVDRpEXKOaIoNml7JSWe1B8skHot6PoI3w0/s1600/20130410-IMG_4646.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7A-k46QoBtcmiHryGPwgjbeYe6Dc4FCPpWOXMTvw5oB9dFb80HT5ht4n33vlhTv00aWiOpb7quFBAjB6OYvHrfhSGqf4lTarv_cIxz2RzVDRpEXKOaIoNml7JSWe1B8skHot6PoI3w0/s400/20130410-IMG_4646.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Topping #2 - Chia gel syrup</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been adding Chia gel to our syrup. We use maple syrup (which is getting so expensive) so adding the chia gel helps cut cost and even better....it adds nutrition and good texture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chia gel (1 3/4 tbs chia seeds to 1 c. cold water....wisk and let sit for 10 - 20 minutes)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Toppings #3 - Yogurt (my favorite is Stoneyfield Organic Lowfat (or whole) Vanilla)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love to add a spoon full of yogurt to my pancakes too but alas, I had no yogurt this morning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Equal parts yogurt/chia seeds/maple syrup tastes amazing on pancakes! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
....after posting this, we may have to have pancakes for dinner too haha. </div>

Our family decorated our Easter eggs just the other day, it was fun and messy and then more fun. When all was said and done, one Easter egg caught my eye. I love how this Easter egg turned out. It was Josh's idea to take little drips of the egg dye and drop them on the eggs. I tried it and LOVE how it turned out. It's the favorite of my favorites....so it got it's very own photoshoot : )<br />

<br />
I was inspired by this Quilt from <a href="http://craftyblossom.blogspot.com/2012/09/grey-and-white-herringbone-quilt.html">Craftyblossom</a>. Isn't it lovely?! I'm not very good at sewing so I wanted to crochet it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It took a tiny bit more figuring that I thought it would but I was able to brain-muscle through it and.....<br />
<br />
Here it is. My crocheted version of the quilt. <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/herringbone-blanket">The Herringbone Blanket</a>....very clever name, isn't it?haha<br />

<br />
If you follow the pattern as it is written the blanket measures about 40" wide and 55" tall. The pattern comes with instructions on how to easily make the blanket larger or smaller.<br />
I used an M hook (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/ILikeBigHooks">I like big hooks!</a>) and two Caron 1 Pounds skeins for this blanket. The skeins were on sale, so I was able to make this blanket for around $11 (nice!).<br />
<br />
More pretty pictures of the blanket and my little middle daughter (Sumini Cricket)<br />

I am currently working on updating the <a href="http://www.mamachee.etsy.com/">Galilee Hat</a>. The pattern will be freshened up with more notes, helpful tutorial pictures, and better product pics.<br />

I finished making a child size <a href="http://www.mamachee.etsy.com/">Galilee Hat</a> today:<br />

I've been trying to health-ify the family life and the madness has reached our cookies. I've always wanted to see how chocolate chip cookies would taste with honey so I tried it. Whoa, these are good! and they passed the husband test (the hard one), so I was very happy and thought I'd share the recipe with you. If you make these you'll have to let me know what you think.<br />

The dough was delicious, it had a wonderful fluffy/light texture. </div>

Hey Look, it's me! I'm going to tell you why I'm smiling. </div>
<br />
I have been lucky enough to get to be apart of the Design Wars put together by Salena Baca (wonderful lady) of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Baca.Creations?ref=ts&fref=ts">Baca Creations</a>. I am competing against 7 other crochet designers and loving it. The big pattern reveal was yesterday but you're not too late. You can see and vote for your favorite design until Feb 25 and I hope you will. If you vote, come back and let me know what you think.<br />

I think I've also found a new favorite yarn. I used Vickie Howell Sheep(ish) yarn for the cowl and LOVED it! The colors are awesome and the yarn is soft, has great drape and has a beautiful roving look (easy on the pocket book too - which is nice) </div>

<br /></div>

I mean...look at these great colors (these color snips were taken from <a href="http://buy.caron.com/Product/Vickie-Howell-Sheepish-Yarn-VH1000/default.aspx?PageID=22&CategoryID=48&ProductID=2852">Here</a>)</div>

<br />
Salena thought it would be fun to get a group of crochet designers together, choose a specific yarn to use for a brand new design to be revealed at a given time for public voting (may the best design win!)<br />
I was very excited to get to be a part of the first design wars and it was a blast.<br />
<br />
The design reveal was yesterday and voting will go until tomorrow. I didn't want you guys to miss out on the fun AND w<u>ith each vote you are entered to win a free pattern from one of the six designers (including me!) </u><br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want to vote for the Lola slippers (photos below) then vote for design #6 : ) </div>
<u><br /></u>
Here is the pattern that I designed. I call them the Lola Slippers and they come in youth size 11 all the up to woman size 12. My four year old daughter is pictured in the red ones. These are so comfortable to wear! I put a lot of extra time on the heel of the slipper making sure that it was a comfortable and snug fit....you'll love them.<br />

The Oma Slippers were one of the first patterns I designed. The Omas were released back in 2008! and I just now came out with the Little Oma Slippers (weird..but better late than never). The little Oma's come in Little Baby size 3 up to Child size 1. I've not found a slipper that works up faster than these....soooo fast and so easy! The Oma Slippers and the Little Omas are available for purchase on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/stores/tara-murray-designs">Ravelry</a> and <a href="http://www.mamachee.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> (<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/stores/tara-murray-designs">Ravelry</a> offers instant download - nice!)<br />

They look knitted don't they? but this a crochet pattern! and a pretty easy one too. This pattern comes in 6 sizes: newborn size 1 to Child size 12 and comes with a little five petal flower pattern and a crochet ball (in two sizes) pattern for embellishing your knit-look crocheted slippers.<br />
