Easter Treats

Today and most of this week, I have been making chocolates for easter. With having four children easter can get really quite expensive.

So with a little time I have been melting chocolate buttons and making some yummy treats.

I got the mould from Spotlight, one has biscut section! You fill it about 2/3 and then press a biscut in. I have been using oreos.

Now that most of the yummy treats are done I can get back to my crochet!

On the hook.

As of late, I've been crochet up a storm.  Making a granny sqaure vest with Spotlights Gelato wool.

Here's a link to the pattern.

Even thou Gelato isnt a worest weight yarn I just made the squares to measure.

Happy Hooking!!
