Crochet Lost Easter Ducky

I had a fun time trying to finish this fella. He was supposed to be a girl chick in a dress, but I chose to use scrap baby yarn to complete him and it was not smooth sailing that is for certain. I started with the body, and then moved to the head and ran out about 12 rows in. I decided to restart the head in green and create a hat, trying to gauge enough yellow to complete half of his head, but it wasn’t quite half. I continued to the arms and didnt have any yellow for his wings, so I dug in my yarn box found some cotton yarn and made his wings out of a different yarn. Then I had to complete the hat with bunny ears, I ran out of green one row shy of finishing the last ear. But we made it! I used up turquoise, green , yellow and had to move over to a baby blue yarn that I still have plenty of. The beak was done is an orange cotton yarn. I used four different brands of yarn here, Anne Geddes baby yarn, Peaches a& Cream cotton yarn, I love this Cotton Yarn, and Bernat Baby Yarn. :)

Keep in mind when clicking this pattern I had to improvise my chick since I was running out of yarn. 

FACE MASK ASSEMBLY LINE

I have a Face Mask assembly line going here. I hope to donate to my local grocers, delivery drivers, and medical personnel all over town. 

Men’s Face Mask

The mask requests are coming in! I had to make a men’s mask too. Men are strong willed but they also are vulnerable to this virus. I made a man’s mask in black. My first attempt with the pattern it came out too small for a man. So I added another 1/4 inch around the entire pattern, and then my hubby tried it on and it was a fit! :)  I have already made about half dozen men masks, and more on the way! 

Children’s Face Mask

I have had this fabric that I bought from a garage sale, stashed in my closet for years. As soon as the news broke that a child died from the COVID-19 virus and that we should all possibly wear masks since we have no idea how this virus is truly spreading, I decided I need to use my stashed fabric up. I had elastic stashed in my sewing box, dug out some from my mothers old sewing box, plenty of thread, and I went at it making masks in various sizes. I am not an experienced Tailor by any means. Me and the Singer rarely get along, that is why she has been collecting dust stashed in the closet all this time. I have been itching to attempt a sewing project for a while now, but this is not what I had in mind. I honestly wish this was not the project. I feel proud that I made it this far and the masks actually look like masks and are wearable like a mask. I do hope that the masks I make are doing someone some good. I guess they are doing at least one person good, and that would be me. I work from home, so this quarantine thing was already my life. Going to the grocery was my “girls night out” alone. But now we are having groceries delivered, so I am even getting cabin fever. That is saying a lot for a home body like myself. To stay somewhat sane, I dive into hobbies or chores. I have plenty of both. When I craft and use up supplies it feels so good almost like I cleaned out an entire closet. Maybe because I cleaned out an entire closet to get to the fabric I had stashed away, but that is besides the point.

Thank you for stopping by! Please leave me a comment. I love ego boosting comments!   

Handmade Face Mask

I have all of this fabric for decades and I have been wanting to attempt a sewing project. I didnt expect it would be face masks, but duty calls right?  This COVID-19 virus has everyone scared to death. I run a crochet group on Facebook and a few of the members have been making crochet masks, and some of the others have been responding in a down right rude manner because they aren’t filtered properly, or whatever their issues were. I was blown away that people would have such a negative reaction to someone’s face mask project. Any how, I decided to try my luck at these sewn masks, I knew once I posted them I would start getting requests. ;) I love when I am needed. 

Face Mask Attempt 3

Face Mask Take 3: I passed hemline inspection from Johnathan (the hubby) the apparent garment inspector. Lol! I am getting better at this.
