Free Whipped Cream Crochet Pattern

     So I caved. I ended up seeing @croutonscrochets post about this here Ba-Nessie Split on IG and I couldn't not have him. I bought the pattern. I noticed though, there was no whipped cream! How can it be a banana split without whipped cream and sprinkles?! There were at least the cutest little cherries! So, upon looking online I noticed there weren't any whipped cream patterns I liked. I for sure wasn't going to spend $2 on something so small I could replicate! So, I freehanded some whipped cream and I'm going to have the pattern free for anyone else who'd like to use it too!

Pattern Notes/ Materials:

I used a 4.5mm hook

Caron 1LB bright white acrylic yarn

Take #2

     I just wanted to start by saying a big thank you to those who support me and have been supporting me!!! It has been an amazing ride. Now I'm selling merchandise through social media, hopefully here too! I've been calling them Smiler Gifts. I hope, any and each gift will bring a smile! Not every day is easy! I'm here to say, you're never alone! I care! I'm always here!!

What have I been up to? How am I?...  How are you?

    Crochet has been an almost instant fix for my anxiety. Helps with my depression. Reminds me of the bigger things. Keeping my eyes on the ultimate prize. I have done a lot of work on myself. I have learned to be patient, love, respect, discipline, and dedicate myself. I hope you have been too. Don't give up now. It's just beginning.

It's about to get crafty!

    I just wanted to say I appreciate you so much. I had lost hope in helping. I figured there must be other ways to approach it. I couldn't figure it out. Since I have had so much time at home, I've started not only making scrapbook/ desk items but there's been one hobby since I was a kid that I haven't picked back up. It's been on my mind a lot lately. I've been hearing it a lot through my friends, family, social media, and everywhere. I swear it's been calling me. Believe it or not, it's crochet! I used to crochet beanies for the NICU babies back home when my sister had her first! I knitted as well but I really like the hook concept. Much simpler. Fewer things to carry so to say. I only need one hook instead of two needles. 

    It's been a nice outlet for me. Not only have I made more things I can count, but I can also take this wherever I go. Car anxiety is the worst, I can't get anxious if I'm not paying attention to anything outside of the car. Hahah! I have turned it into an addiction overnight. I'm not upset, T maybe a little bit, but it's okay! All of the bundles of yarn will be things soon! I've started with making my roommate's cat a hat! It turned out cute! The kitty loved it! Then I started on lighter/vape holders! They can be used to hold many more things. Some look like mushrooms with the tops, and the others just look like a vape necklace hahah! I couldn't have been happier when I saw how they all turned out! I'm going to start selling the items I crochet, so stay tuned for more! I'm going to also keep updating the look and make this better to use. Start making sections for my patterns and makes! I call 'em' smiler gifts! Don't forget about Etsy! @unwindingmadness
I might start posting patterns I make too, for free! What do you think? Comment below!

Exploding what?

June 19th, 2022

    So I have gotten this idea that I’m going to surprise T with an exploding box. I grabbed everything from my house and started working on it. I even created a template and instructions guide since I made one before. Plus I couldn’t find the website that I used years ago so that was a super bummer. I honestly didn’t want to read a million different ways to do it. I just wanted the measurements to be honest. Make sure it was going to come out correctly. Other than that though I figured you guys might want to try! Should I make a tutorial for you? Maybe for that special someone to show them you care? I started creating this one just for the simple fact I want T to know how much he means to me and how he affects my day-to-day life. He makes it so much better. He makes my life so much easier. This is something he can sit on his desk. Interact with. He can see it anytime. 

   I’m not even going to lie. You already know that I’ve been going through a depressive phase again. I’ve been trying to do things that interest me to get out of it. I do know T can make me smile anytime and doing something for him makes me motivated and helps me get out of this depressive episode. Gets me doing something I like but also something to make him smile. Just as much as he makes me smile. 

Let me know if I should make another one and have you guys see the process and you can start creating too! More smiles for everyone 🥰 

An Enneagram Guide.

 June 17th, 2022

So I started reading this book, it’s pretty cool. I may or may not suggest it. If you do want a good cheap find for a book, “Take Care of Your Type” -Wilcox. I’ve picked this one up at Five Below to be completely honest. I always find eye-catching books in there. They have a bunch of tarot things, crystals, dreams books, healing, business strategy, kids books, and so much more. This one in particular is talking about each enneagram type. How they think. What best helps them. What words of affirmation to use. What coping mechanisms work best. Different types of self-expression. It starts with idealists. Would you guys like for me to give little insights on the book and tips? Comment below!

I can be proud of myself.

 June 16th, 2022 

    It was such a good day! We left early as mess today. We had to get some green, if you know what I mean. Then we decided since we were out and about we might as well get everything else done. So of course we stopped to see the bunnies and play with them. We came home and I worked on the blog. I honestly have been putting it off. I had to catch up. I posted a bunch. Did more marketing. 

    I forgot to tell you too! I’ve started trying to eat healthier. Actual home cooked meals. It’s been very nice. T man is more than amazing. He never fails to get me to eat. He’s always trying to cook or make me something. No matter the time of day. I’m still working to get up to three meals a day. As well as getting it on a good normal eating schedule. Lmfao. Working on it. 

    Overall my mental state is starting to become more stable. Within the last past month I’ve noticed I haven’t had a manic episode. I am SO proud of myself you have no idea. How are you doing? What have you been doing to cope?

Fun errand run...

   June 15th, 2022

It was an early morning! Ate some breakfast. Smoked. Got ready for the day. Went out. Fed the buns, went to the vape store, Big Lots, and Five Below. Sometimes I get squishmallows from there. They have some pretty neato things in Five Below. This time I just so happened to grab snacks and a couple of books. I’m excited for these. I got them to better help you. So I can rebalance myself and have a healthier, happier life, as well as you too. I feel it will be good for both of us. Plus gives me more things to do in the meantime. 

I wasn't readyyyy"

 June 14th, 2022

It was a day. I woke up to take a nap. I wasn’t ready needless to say. We got some things done here after I woke up and left to check on things on my end. Finally got rid of all the TVs we didn’t need. Then skated for the night. We got some pretty cool content for you guys. We might have to reshoot though if the video doesn’t come out like I want. It’s okay though. We are learning. 

We are doers!

 June 13th, 2022

I worked a little bit doing things for the tiny houses. Worked on my business with T a little bit. Created another page. That’s always fun. It’s just a big jumbled mess for the time being but we are working on it. Along with everything else. For instance, my blog, talking to you, creating content, artwork, and you already know so much more. T on the other hand man he does everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner. He cleans more than I do, as of right now, I help where I can. He makes his videos and does his editing. He streams. He cooks for everyone. Takes care of me time and time again. Forreal. I couldn’t have asked for better. 

Besides me going on about my love, I made some content for you guys. I went skating. Wasn’t expecting to really make it out to do it but we did. It was mad hot. We decided on the skate park this time. I recorded some videos of him skating and we tried getting a better video on the GoPro of my little dancy dance on my skates hehe. It didn’t turn out like I wanted. The beautiful sky changed quickly. We didn’t have much time to work but that’s okay. We shall try again!
