Flip Dolls

This are the cute little "flip" dolls I made for our 3 3year old girl cousins. I used a pattern I bought from  Maggie Weldon's website, using a variety of yarn, mostly acrylic, but some cotton. The original pattern was for Cinderella, and I adapted it for Snow White and Tiana.

Anna's Kitchen Curtains!

Anna asked me to make some kitchen curtains for her new house. I haven't sewn anything in awhile, and even though curtains are pretty simple I was a little nervous about getting the measurements right and doing the cuts. I think they came out ok, I can't wait to see them hanging up!



UPDATE: Here is the finished product hanging up in the kitchen!

Charity Hat

I thought I would make a charity baby hat in between each project I do. This one came out a little small, so we're calling it a preemie hat. I'm going to make a bunch, different colors & patterns and then find a local charity to give them to. 




I used this super CUTE book: Baby Beanies, by Amanda Keeys and Caron Simply Soft Yarn, heather gray. I set a goal for myself to make every hat in the book, just using the yarn I have, which of course is a ridiculous amount of yarn. I would never have to go to the yarn store again. Yeah. Right.




Here is the finished product. I added tassels to it, which is what the pattern called for.

Craft Tat



I got this tattoo about a year ago, at Euphoria Tattoos in Tallahassee. I'm surprised I haven't posted it to my "craft" blog before!

Baby Sweater

A sweater for my soon-to-be-born granddaughter, Iliana Christine. The yarn is a cream worsted weight baby yarn, I lost the label, so I'm not sure what brand. I got the pattern from the Crochet Today Baby and Kids Book, Spring 2013.  I still need to put the buttons on it, and there's a hat that goes with it too.

Nicole's Slippers


My daughter in law Nicole is having a baby in a few weeks and asked me to make her these slippers for the hospital. They are super easy and fast!

The yarn is Caron Simply Soft and I got the pattern here.

Crazy Big Loopy Bear

I made this bear using Peaches and Creme worsted weight cotton ombré yarn (Purple Petunia) and a pattern from this Dover craft book: Crocheted Toys and Dolls

Not sure which grandkid is getting this one, it's a little big (20") and crazy. And loopy. :)

I just uploaded a blogger app to my phone, so i can take pictures and directly post them to my blog. We'll see how this works. Maybe I
won't get so behind in my posts.

This is my current WIP. I'll let you know what it is when I'm finished!
