The Little Mermaid and Her Friends

I recently had a request for a crochet Sebastian the crab and Flounder the fish appliques. She wanted to add them to a crocheted blanket that she is giving as a gift for an upcoming baby shower. She wanted 2 Flounder fishes and 2 Sebastian crabs.

After I finished them, I really wanted to crochet Ariel the Mermaid to finish the collection. They just looked so lonely without her.

I plan on adding these appliques to my Etsy store by the end of the week. I plan to list them as a set and also separarely. I am very pleased with how they all turned out.

I Dream of Cream

Yesterday I finished this gorgeous creme scarf for my sweet customer and dear friend, Bekah. It is made of the softest textured yarn, Yarn Bee's Cameo Bulky in Cameo Cream. I loved every minute crocheting this because it was so soft and fluffy to work with. She wanted a touch of pink, black, and grey mixed in to match her coat so I added an elegant flower design to the ends.

I crocheted pink roses with grey leaves and white flowers with silver centers. I added a whimsical black stem design to tie it all together. To finish it off, I put a bit of fluffy fringe onto the scarf ends.

I absolutely LOVE how this turned out. I know Bekah will love it too.

Pinky and Flutters

Tonight at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time, Who's Who Boutique Designer Group on Facebook is having their Valentine Love Letters Launch. The launch ends tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Pinky and her sister Flutters are my contributions for the launch!

They would make GREAT pin cushions, Valentine decor, or cuddly friends for that special child. The adorable heart-shaped cookie pins are NOT available, but I will tell you where to find them.

Arielle of KawaiiCuteCreation on Etsy made them and she has a lot of super kawaii jewelry, pins, and more in her store that you will absolutely LOVE. I know my daughter Xiera currently has her pizza slice earrings on her wishlist.

Who's Who Love Letters Launch...

Who's Who is having their Valentine's launch on facebook beginning tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. eastern time. A lot of amazingly talented boutique designers are coming together for this launch so please come and check it out. I have a few new items that I have made for this fun launch that you won't want to miss. ;)

Granny Square Kitty

Happy New Year my friends! Remember the kitty I found on Little Woolie's blog that I wanted to make for Xiera? Well it is all finished and it turned out so adorable. I made kitty a bit bigger than the original and added a sweet little heart collar.

Xiera adores her and has named her Cupcake. I think she looks like a Cupcake too.

Snow Day!

The girls are enjoying their very first blizzard here in Ohio. :)
Stay warm my friends!

Merry Christmas to All...

and to all a good night!!

Maybe...Just Maybe...

Xiera has been asking me to crochet her a kitty cat. I wonder if I can get this one done before Christmas. :) Isn't it absolutely adorable? It was created by Jules of Little Woolie. If you have a chance, you should swing on by her blog. She crochets so many pretty things. She has the pattern for this kitty available on her blog for free too! You can find it HERE.

Wilbur The Walrus

I finally finished the last of my rushed Christmas orders and feel a giant weight lifted off of my shoulders. Wilbur the Walrus was my last order and he turned out so silly and adorable.

He is the largest stuffed animal I have ever crocheted. He is almost 10 inches long and is so chubby and cute. When I first crocheted his body, I laughed because it looked like a giant potato.

I purchased the pattern from daveydreamer on Etsy. You can find the pattern HERE. Wilbur was a lot of fun to crochet so if you decide to crochet him yourself, you will not be disappointed. The pattern is very easy to follow.

Now I can work on wrapping presents, and cleaning the house in preparation for our family who is visiting us on Christmas Eve.

Custom Toothie The Tooth Fairy Pillow

I just finished this custom Toothie the Tooth Fairy Pillow for my dear friend Megan. It is going to be a stocking stuffing gift for her sweet daughter on Christmas. She requested for her Toothie to have green eyes instead of blue ;) I hope she loves it!

I improved my original Toothie pattern. I made the top of Toothie not as round and more tooth-like. Here is a picture of my original Toothie design. I didn't think it was possible for it to get any cuter, but I think I did just that...make it cuter. ;)

Pi-Pi-Pikachu!!

I just finished this adorable Pokemon, Pikachu hat as a custom order for a dear customer. It is a gift for her son. I think he is going to love it! I know my girls do!

A Darling Dolly for a Customer Cutie

One of my dear friends Jamie, had asked me to make her darling daughter Peyton, a mini me doll that looks just like her. Peyton has long golden brown hair, brown eyes, and wears glasses just like my oldest daughter. Peyton and Xiera even share the same favorite color, pink.

I hope Peyton loves her new mini me dolly this Christmas. I think she turned out simply adorable.

Woodlands Scarf and Cloche Set

I just finished this beautiful scarf and cloche set for my aunt. It is a gift for her sister who lives in Germany. I just love how this set turned out. The mixture of colors remind me of a nature walk on a trail through the park on a cool, crisp, fall afternoon. It really is pretty. I have enough yarn left over to make another set so I went ahead and listed the set as a custom in my etsy store. You can find it HERE.

Wednesday Bliss

I just love days like this; when I get to have uninterrupted crochet time during the afternoon while gazing at our gorgeous family Christmas tree. How blissful and relaxing. :)
