Old school super hero cartoons

Gratton is watching old school superhero cartoons. The main characters are Spider Man and Iceman. I don't know what's going on in the show because I'm crocheting, but he keeps saying, "oh no iceman!" And then he says, "oh man- ice man!" I've never heard him say "oh man", it is so cute! I love this little guy! He is at such a fun age, and is going to be a great big brother!

Welcome!

Hello everyone! Welcome to Sharing Crocheted Creations! My Grandma Bailey taught me how to crochet when I was eight years old, and I want to share that talent with others like you! I am going to be posting tips and tricks that I have learned, and also some free patterns! I do sell patterns on my etsy site, but I know how it is to not have money to buy patterns, so I want to give you guys a chance to get some for free! I always LOVE finding a free pattern, and I am so excited to share the wealth! I am going to do a post a day. Tomorrow I am going to post my first pattern- a San Fransisco Giants inspired beanie! Stay tuned for great fun!
