Easter!

Well Easter has come and gone, but I did make myself a really cute item this year. I was in a swap, and my partner had described a pattern that she was looking for as an "Easter bunny made out of a pop bottle." I could only really find one picture on the Internet, well, there are actually three but they are all the same item, so I decided to make it for her. It turned out so cute that I made myself one. Unfortunately it was not what she was looking for, but I think she liked it anyway. I know I love mine...it's so dang cute!

Made out of a 20 ounce plastic soda bottle, lots of tulle, (to make the pom-poms) felt, and lots of glue and straight pins. If you decide to make one, here's a hint… You cannot use hot glue. Not even low temperature hot glue. Also I did not have the vintage bunny face, so I printed one out from the Internet. From a foot away you can't tell it's not the old cute plastic one. After I made the bunny from the bottle, I had this bright idea… I had this cute pink little tree that I bought for Valentine's Day. So I printed out another little bunny face and made more ears and paws and decorated this tree. I think it is really really cute!

Hope you enjoy these cute little bunnies! Now back to crafting for the Fair! The sweater I am crocheting is taking an extra long time because somehow the math didn't math and I had to make lots of cuts and redo a lot of parts. But I am near the finish line! Hopefully I will be finished this week. Then I can get onto other "smaller" projects that don't take up nearly as much time per project.

New year of crafting has begun…

So the new year of crafting has begun here are a couple of things I have completed. Firstly, the McDonald's witch bucket "purse" ...crocheted.

I still need to make the handle but, she is pretty much complete. Secondly, I have 3D tatted an Oompa Loompa as an ornament. I decided I wanted to start a Willy Wonka collection and started with the Oompa Loompa. he is approximately 5 inches tall.

I will post more as I decide what to make and have created it.

Dec 18, 2024

It's been a while since I posted but it's Christmas time so I thought I would share some photos of my decorations and a couple of things I have made for swaps. I got a really late start in decorating and just finished yesterday. Had an injury, because I tripped over my own feet, so it made it a little slower going than normal. But here are my decorations for this year... also at the end are a couple of items I made for Christmas swaps. One is a white tiger ami and the other two are cute little snowball snowman ornaments. I did not have a pattern for these I just made them up as I went. also for anyone who likes the Christmas art… I got the canvas prints on Temu. The gold frames are just old-fashioned vintage mirrors and I took the mirror out and put the print in. The reindeer are just mounted on Art canvases and I just painted snow around the edges.

Hocus Croakus

Here is my newest creation for Halloween. This is called Hocus Croakus! It is a pattern by Kylie Slee... also known as ComplicatedKnots. She puts up a new pattern every Thursday on YouTube. But she also sells these patterns on Ravelry and other places. When I first saw it, I thought it was so cool. It only took me three evenings of watching TV and crocheting to finish it off. I did make a couple of changes though. The eyes are different color, the candle flames are black candle flames, and I gave the mouse/rat some hands and feet. I also wanted to add a little skull, so I used her skull pattern. Her skull pattern would normally be about the size of a baseball, maybe a little smaller. But I used crochet cotton size 10 and a very tiny Boye metal size 10 crochet hook, & it turned out just the right size this scene. Oh and I also added a spoon for the frog to be holding during her cauldron! I really really like how it turned out and I think it is so cute!
