Crochet Wreath Christmas Ornament

 

These little wreaths reminded me of some wreaths my mother had made when I was a kid and we would dig out every year at Christmas. The nostalgia made me want to make some for myself. 

Crochet Amigurumi Santa?

 

There is no getting passed the fact that this hardly looks like Santa. I lost my count along the way. But hey the point is that I am trying to do this crochet thing, right? This fella will go into my stash of handmade "misfit" toys. Surely you have seen Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Misfit Toys. Apparently I am like one of those elves that make the misfit toys. :) Someone has make them or we would have no such thing as a Misfit Toy.

Crochet Amigurumi Snowman

 

So far this is one of my favorite stuffies I have made, also known to the crochet world as Amigurumi.

Crochet a Gecko

 

I needed a small quick project to whip up during a movie with the family. So I found this adorable Gekko pattern to try. This is my first attempt.. and as usual he looks a bit different than the pattern's photo.

Sweet Baby Rose Afghan

 

This beautiful afghan became one of my first projects while we were camping.

Crochet Gekko Bookmark

 

These little projects are great for my practicing of holding my hook and yarn to develop my tension. I think I may be holding it too tight though. But still it almost looks like the photo for the pattern. ;) 

Daughters First Quilt

 

My daughter is in her last year of high school. She is taking a class called Textiles. In her class she has made some of the cutest little things. I am so impressed with how much she has learned about sewing! I am telling you she can teach me a few things! This is the Quilt she made in class. It turned out so BEAUTIFUL! I am so proud of her! When we bought the matierial I was apprehensive that she would be able to work with it, but she showed me!

Mystery Crochet A Long Finished!

 

I finished my Medium Mystery Crochet Along this last summer but I have been so busy that I hadn't uploaded the finished blanket. Mystery Crochet Along patterns were posted on a Facebook group I am a part of. This is my second project with them. So far there have been 3 projects as far as I know. This Afghan, It is a little off I had to make 2 extra squares so I'm not sure where I messed up. It was my first ever Afghan made with squares. It is more of a lap-ghan I think they call it. I'm short stuff so I just love how it turned out.!
