Everyday Creations: Crafts, recipes and everyday life!: Feature Blogger : Melissa

Hello All! This is my first ever feature! This lovely lady Melissa, aka Molly Dobbins is a good friend of mine. We met online thru our love of anything twilight! Both of us being twilight moms in our twenty's. After realizing that we both love twilight, along with a few other lovely ladies that I consider good friends, we all realized we like to craft!

Melissa is a very talented knitter/crocheter.

"I guess I have been the crafty type pretty much my whole life. As a child I loved art class more than anything. When my mom went to local craft shows I BEGGED to tag along. I guess I just love making things and creating. The crochet thing started years ago when my Nana taught me. At the suggestion of a friend I tried knitting and soon became addicted to that. I also sew which is something I got into years and years ago when my mom first taught me to hand sew."

You can find Melissa's Blog right here When I grow up I wanna be...... You can find some awesome recipes, great crafts and cute pictures of her lovely children!

Other things Melissa has been up too lately.

"Unfortunately I haven't been blogging a whole lot lately :(. In the absence of blogging I have been busy volunteering at my daughters school. It's been a wonderful experience and I love seeing my DD in her school environment.
On the crafting side I've been spending most of my time planning my handmade Christmas gifts and knitting. I just finished a knit head wrap/ ear warmer for myself and I couldn't be more happy with it.
As the colder weather has set in I find myself cooking and baking more and more. I have found tons of new recipes on Pintrest and I recently gave two a try; Chicken Parmesan Crescent Rolls and Pizza Casserole. The crescent rolls were okay. With a few tweaks I bet I could make them more to my family's taste :) The pizza casserole on the other hand was FANTASTIC!! My family couldn't get enough of it :)."

Very Cute Melissa!

Picture of it w/o being worn below

I have had the privilege of receiving a knitted hat by Melissa. I had been looking in store, after store trying to find a hat like this one. Bigger then a beany, but hangs in the back to hold your hair. The ones in the store just didn't do it for me. So when I saw Melissa pin this hat, I was like oooo can you make that?? Shes like yes I can, what color would you like. I was beyond excited to receive it in the mail! I love it! I wear it all the time, its great for when you really don't feel like doing your hair, you just throw it on and for it to be homemade just makes it even more awesome!

So first I tried to take the picture myself......didn't really work out (yes that is a forks shirt, I got it while vacationing there a couple years ago!) Then I enlisted the hubby and well this is the best I got!
