Purple Hearts for Valentines

2012-02-20T11:46:00.000-08:00

I originally made this blanket in pink for my daughter. I loved it so much I decided to try it in other colors. It's made out of a Bamboo Blend yarn which makes it feel delicate and soft.

Einstein

2012-02-13T11:35:00.000-08:00

We like to call my dad Einstein. So this last Christmas I adapted a pattern to make a miniature Einstein to hang out with my dad in his office. It was a fun pattern to make, and he turned out super awesome.

Ballerina Doll

2012-02-04T17:00:00.000-08:00

I made this doll for my niece who started dancing right when she realized it was possible. I keep telling myself that I'm going to make ones in different colors, with different hair, but I haven't yet. The face reminds me of the old style dolls that were made by your great-grandma, which I always thought were so cool.

Car

2012-01-25T17:16:00.000-08:00

This car ended up a lot bigger than I originally meant for it to. But I must say that it is a lot of fun to play with. It's got a lot of personality and is really soft.

Flower Clips

2012-01-13T16:47:00.000-08:00

These flower clips are good for any ages. They are delicate enough to clip into soft baby hair or strong enough to clip into tough adult hair. I have made them in 3 different sizes: Small (approx: 1 inch), Medium (approx: 2 inches), and Large (approx: 3 inches). Shown on Baby Annie: Medium. Can be made in lots of different colors. Here is a link to a tutorial:

Cookie Monster Hat

2012-01-07T11:00:00.000-08:00

It's the COOKIE MONSTER!!!!!! Thanks to my nephew I was asked to make an Elmo hat several years ago. After it worked out so well, I decided I needed to make some other characters. Here is Cookie Monster. My kids think he is alot of fun to wear.

If you would like a pattern check out my Etsy shop.

Coin Dangle Earrings

2011-12-28T14:00:00.000-08:00

Here I have two different pairs of Coin Dangle Earrings; Copper and Antiqued Gold. They make for a nice pair of earrings because they are a dressy casual earring. Lots of fun to make too.

Car Pins

2011-12-18T17:44:00.000-08:00

When I was making the Bee Pins I thought one of the bees looked more like the shape of a car, and I had a great idea, to make car pins. So I gave it a try. I thought the stripes and wings were hard on the bees, but these little tires took a lot of concentration. It was a lot of fun. Now I just need to find a great fabric for a pincushion :)

Window Pane Blanket

2011-12-11T16:39:00.000-08:00

I have made this blanket a couple times and even though it is supposed to be a scrap blanket I just love these bright colors in this pattern, it makes me think of a stained glass window.

Football Earrings

2011-12-04T17:23:00.000-08:00

I made little football beads so I could start supporting my favorite teams. I made myself a pair of dangle earrings for my favorite team (Indianopolis Colts) which I wear on occasion. Here I have shown BYU, U of U, and NFL Green Bay Packers. The fun things about these is that you can't really tell they are football earrings at first, they are just dangle earrings and then on closer examination they are footballs.

Stuffed Horse - It's a Paint!

2011-11-27T14:59:00.000-08:00

Here's the real horse.

I got asked if I could make a horse that looked like someone's real Paint. So after studying some pictures, I gave it a try. I LOVE IT! It was so much fun to make, I love these little challenges. I thought that the horse came out looking alot like the real one.

Bumble Bee Pins and Pincushions

2011-11-20T10:00:00.000-08:00

I liked the Bumble Bee pins that I made before and decided they would be cutest with Bumble Bee Pincushions. I made four different pincushions to compliment the Bees. It's takes a little bit of time to put on those stripes and wings but they turn out so cute, it's well worth it.

Big Bird

2011-11-13T16:14:00.000-08:00

BIG BIRD!!!!!!

After making Elmo and Cookie Monster, I wanted to try another character from Sesame Street. Naturally the next step would be Big Bird. I wanted to give him feathers so I ended up doing loops to make him look all feathery. Jennsen thought it was pretty funny.

T-Shirt Quilt

2011-11-08T17:33:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite things that I made with my mom was my T-Shirt Quilts. These two are my Camp Quilt, made from shirts that I got from the 6 years at Girl's Camp, and then my Theatre Quilt that includes all the shirts from being in plays in Jr. High and High School. I think there may be Choir and Orchestra shirts in there as well. It's a great way to keep all those old t-shirts that you don't want to throw away because of the memories associated with them. The back of my Theatre Quilt is Jeans. I cut up all my old jeans that fell apart and created a back to them. Then I got these quilts quilted by a proffesional. The Theatre Quilt has the Drama masks quilted on it. It's pretty cool :)

Loafers

2011-11-01T13:00:00.000-07:00

I had made Mary Jane's for little girls, but after having my son I noticed how much baby stuff was geared toward little girls and not little boys. How unfair is that?! Why can't little boys have cool shoes too?! So I decided to make loafers for baby boys. I love these little shoes. If you thought the Mary Jane's were cute, check these out.

Butterfly Pins

2011-10-24T10:00:00.000-07:00

I love making these decorative sewing pins. These ones are butterflies. There are two kinds in this picture, pink butterflies with yellow wings or white butterflies with pink wings. They turned out really cute and fun.

Flat Spiral Bracelet

2011-10-14T17:00:00.000-07:00

These bracelets are so fun to make and surprisingly easier than they look. The different looks range from fun to elegant. You can use all different kinds of beads and colors. If you enjoy making jewelry you should try these out, here's a link to a youtube video that I think is really good. http://wwww.youtube.com/watch?v=oiB_PID3sC4&feature=relmfu.

Baby Giraffe

2011-10-09T10:00:00.000-07:00

This was so much fun. Embroidering all the spots on the back were tedious but well worth it. I couldn't get his neck to stand up straight for the picture so he looks like he's lamenting to the sky. My daughter carries him around by the neck and then grabs his muzzle and gives him big kisses. So now me and her have to fight over who gets him :)

Embroidered Baby Blankets

2011-09-30T00:30:00.000-07:00

I made this several years ago. The whole thing is made with individual squares of cats and dogs that have been embroidered. This was also my first attempt at hand quilting, it wasn't perfect but it was fun and a great learning experience. This was meant to be a blanket for a baby when I grew up, but by the time I had kids I just went ahead and made new ones for them individually.

Tiger

2011-09-20T11:40:00.000-07:00

I love making these furry stuffed animals, it takes quite a long time to put on all that fur but it is worth it. They are so soft and fun. My nephew loved taking pictures with this tiger, he carried him around for quite awhile, even after we were done. The tiger is one of my favorites of the furry animals, the stripes are so fun to do.

Old Fashioned Leather Journal

2011-09-14T15:18:00.000-07:00

I used to make homemade paper when I was younger (haven't done it in awhile), but I had all this fun paper and nothing to do with it, so I decided to make a journal. I love writing and I love to have journals around, especially interesting journals like one I have with a wood covering. Anyway I decided to make this one with leather, and between that and the homemade paper this journal looks like it came straight out of the past. I'm going to try to get up a tutorial soon on this one, because it is so fun to make.

Little Penguins

2011-09-09T15:13:00.000-07:00

I made these originally in sets of four to be the madagascar penguins. They were different sizes to show the different characters of Skipper, Kowalski, Private and Rico. They've since been split up but that doesn't make them any less fun. It's amazing what you find out kids love and these penguins are the perfect little pocket pals.

Soft Blue Afghans

2011-09-02T15:00:00.000-07:00

The title almost says it all. I love these blankets, they are so cuddly, soft. I have made them in other colors besides blue too, I just really like blue so there is a lot of it.

Owl Hat

2011-08-28T10:46:00.000-07:00

My good friend Lisa asked me if I can figure out an owl hat, so I went ahead and tried it. It turned out to be one of the cutest hats I have made (at least I think so). So now I have these really fun hats. I've made them in several different sizes too. They have been a lot of fun. Thank you Lisa for the suggestion! (Anyone else notice that Jennsen is liking being my model now)

Hawaiian Flower Ring

2011-08-22T01:00:00.000-07:00

I got this idea after making different kinds of wire rings. The flower looks so dainty and colorful, it really gives you a little tropical flare.

More Sewing Pins

2011-08-18T10:00:00.000-07:00

These are different sewing pins that I have tried. I like trying to figure out different designs that would be fun. Here I have Ladybugs, Butterflies, Bees and White Lilys. They are really delicate and fun, they make great decorations for your pincushion.

Carseat Cover

2011-08-14T16:00:00.000-07:00

I made this for a friend that was having a baby. I made it black with white polka dots and the inside is pink. The straps are connected with snaps and are easy to take off and put on, and they hold really well. It's nice to have it so easily removable because I know that some moms like to use them as breastfeeding blankets too. I covered the straps with ribbon/button flower bows just to dress it up a little. I think it turned out really cute.

Alligator

2011-08-08T21:50:00.000-07:00

I don't think there has ever been a sweeter alligator. He has got the biggest eyes and looks like he is just waiting around for someone to hug him. I loved working on all those little ridges on his back. If you like the pattern check out deliciouscrochet.com

Angel Soft Purple Blanket

2011-08-03T23:45:00.000-07:00

These are still my favorite blankets. They are soooooo soft!!! I made this one for my daughter. I think the dark purple is so pretty, and the contrast between it and the white make this blanket so beautiful. It looks a little mature for a baby blanket, but I guess that fits her personality :)

Striped Hat

2011-07-29T10:44:00.000-07:00

My cousin said that she liked the hat for the llama so much that I should make ones for adults. My first attempt was for a child sized one so here is Jennsen wearing it with the llama, she was kind of grumpy that I was distracting her from Elmo :)

Dragon

2011-07-24T08:20:00.000-07:00

This guy turned out to be almost 3 feet long. He's HUGE! He was so fun to make too! I put some wire in the wings so that they can bend. I had so much fun I think I will do it again in different colors. For the pattern check out deliciouscrochet.com.

Rattlesnake

2011-07-17T10:00:00.000-07:00

I put a wire in this guy so that he was bendable too, so he is extra fun for little kids. My nephew loved playing with the snake especially since his tail really rattles too.

Green Apple Pin

2011-07-14T11:47:00.000-07:00

These apple pins are just like the red ones. I just wanted to try them in a different color. So these are little Granny Smith apples. It makes them more fun in different pincushions.

Red Apple Pin

2011-07-09T19:26:00.000-07:00

My mom has some great sewing pins that she got from a friend that were little plastic flowers and I thought it would be so fun to have some different kinds of sewing pins. So after searching around on the internet I got the idea to make little apples. They are really detail oriented but are actually not that hard to make. Let me know if your interested in a tutorial.

Happy 4th of July

2011-07-04T22:33:00.000-07:00

This American Flag afghan was so fun to make and so beautiful in the end.

Happy 4th of July!

Pincushions

2011-06-30T21:32:00.000-07:00

I wanted to make some cute pincushions, mostly just for fun. But these were so easy and turned out really cute and you can make them in all sorts of different colors and patterns. They work really well too, I love using mine. Let me know if you want a tutorial.

Blessing Blanket with Flowers

2011-06-26T10:35:00.000-07:00

I made this blanket a long time ago. It's meant to be a blessing/christening blanket. Each square is crocheted seperately and then sewn together. I used Red Heart Soft Yarn on this blanket and it made it so fluffy and soft but still held it's shape nicely.

On the MOOOOve!

2011-06-14T21:19:00.000-07:00

Well folks, we're back and with a new and cuddly animal. This one was especially fun to make and as you can tell is anatomically correct (eek!) Anyways, if you would like the pattern check out deliciouscrochet.com.

Get It Mooooooving Amy!

2011-03-24T19:22:00.001-07:00

So I realize that I don't post as often as I should, and I am going to try harder.
Here are some cows I made awhile back. They were a lot of fun!
They had almost sad looking eyes and looked like they were grazing in a pasture.

They even had udders! They were the most painful part to make because they were so small but the look afterward was so funny and cute, it was totally worth it.

I made the bell around their necks detachable, because I thought they were more fun that way. They looked cute with or without them.

Here is an upclose photo of one of their faces. Isn't she adorable :)

Merry Christmas Emma

2011-01-03T11:02:00.000-08:00

I made my niece a poodle for Christmas. I saw this pattern awhile back and it made me think of her. The flowers that you see in her "fur" are clips so that Emma could dress up her dog and herself (and probably her little sister). This dog was a lot of fun to make because of the pom-poms on the legs and stuff like that.
Emma was very excited to have it which always makes the time worth while.

Merry Christmas Emma! We Love You!

Watch Bands

2010-12-13T11:22:00.001-08:00

These watch bands are really popular right now, and I've been looking at all the different designs. So I said to myself, I could make those. So that has been my new project. Here are a few that I have tried. I have lots of different designs.

They are a lot of fun to make.

Headbands

2010-07-02T15:11:00.000-07:00

I started making these when my sister showed me one and I thought it was so cute. I was never one that liked the HUGE flowers on teeny babies heads, and I think that's why these appealed to me, because of how small and understated they are.

This one is the biggest that I made, but I think it's pretty cute. These others are much smaller.

They are so perfect for newborns but they also look great even on teenagers.

I've made them in all sorts of colors: Pink, light pink, white, purple, red, etc.

I love them.

Llama

2010-05-01T13:32:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun making this llama. The fur is looped and looks really cool and makes it soft, of course I used a softer yarn too :)

Here's a closeup of the face.

The hat was also fun because it's removeable. I love making stuffed animals.

Boutique

2010-04-14T19:57:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited to be a part of Terri's Blue Goose Boutique for their spring show. It took alot of work to get ready but I'm done and ready to go.

This is what my booth looks like. Thanks to the help of my family, it turned out great. Thanks guys!

COOKIE!

2010-04-14T19:52:00.000-07:00

Here's my own little Cookie Monster. I got the idea to make these hats after I made an Elmo hat for my newphew "G".

Colin thought the hat was pretty fun.

T-REX

2010-02-20T22:50:00.000-08:00

I originally planned to make this for my nephew, Mac, for his birthday, but I never got around to it. So after I gave him the his Christmas present I decided to go ahead and make it for him so that I could send it home with him after the holidays. It is one of my favorite creations.
When I gave it to him Mac carried it around the rest of night and started talking to it, calling him Buddy (I guess that is the T-Rex's name from his favorite show, Dinosaur Train).

I am very pleased with the way these dinosaurs turned out, but I'm even more pleased to have a nephew who enjoys them. Thanks Mac! I love you!

Pteradon Merry Christmas Mac

2010-01-13T21:01:00.000-08:00

Sorry it has been so long since I posted something. I've been wanting to post this for awhile but I had to wait until after Christmas because I was giving it to my nephew, Mac. Mac is three and loves dinosaurs. He knows all the different kinds and knows whether or not they are a carnivores or herbivores. He is a very smart boy. I found this pattern at deliciouscrochet.com and it made me think of him and I just had to give it to him for Christmas.

Aunt Maggie, showing it off. We call it Petrie. (I don't know if Mac has named it yet)Mac opening it. "A dinosaur!"Everyone asking Mac what it is.

Merry Christmas Mac!

Ballerina Doll

2009-09-05T16:12:00.000-07:00

I'm really excited about this doll because I made up the pattern myself. My niece, Emma, just turned 1 years old, and I was thinking about how she likes to dance and thought it would be fun to make her a ballerina doll. Grandma always said that little girls needed a dolly. So I started crocheting a doll and just hoped it would turn out, and it worked! I really like this doll and Emma likes it too, she gives it kisses, it's really cute.

I put leg warmers and ballet slippers on her to make her a little cuter. I was really happy with the result.

The tutu was an afterthought and it is completely removeable, which is fun.

Because I was making up the pattern I had no idea how big she was going to be. Turns out she is about 24" tall, she's almost as big as Emma. My sister Katie said that it wasn't a dolly so much as a companion, because of how big it is. :)

I'm glad Emma enjoys it, I had a lot of fun making it.

Another Frog

2009-08-24T21:40:00.000-07:00

This is the same as the other frog except that I used a different yarn. I love this frog because of the multi green, it makes him look like some kind of color-changing frog. I think it's fun.

More Mary Jane Shoes

2009-08-20T20:58:00.000-07:00

I really liked the Mary Jane shoes that I made for my niece, Emma, so I made some more. The pink and purple are colors I found to match the adorable buttons that I got. I love the little flower buttons, I think they really make the shoes.

Hairbows

2009-07-27T13:17:00.000-07:00

I've been making hairbows out of flowers and ribbon. It's been fun to try different combinations of ribbon and jewels with the flowers. There are so many different sizes and colors, it's a lot of fun.

All of the bows have ribbon-covered clips on the back so that they are really soft and easy to put into little girls' hair.

Frog

2009-07-27T13:06:00.001-07:00

This is from the same pattern book as the kitty. It is super soft, I love this yarn. He turned out bigger than I thought he would, which is awesome because now he's really huggable and fun.

Kitty

2009-06-25T18:09:00.000-07:00

I think stuffed animals are so much fun to make. They actually are kind of hard to make (especially if you use fuzzy yarn like this), but the result is so much fun that I just can't resist making them. I found a Japanese pattern book with this kitty and lots of other animals in it. I'm hoping to make a frog next. We'll see.

Mary Jane Shoes

2009-06-25T17:59:00.001-07:00

These are Mary Jane shoes that I made for my niece Emma (those are her cute little legs in the pictures). My sister Ashlee told me about little Mary Janes and Loafers that she had seen that were crocheted. After seeing how cute these can be I found a pattern I like. These shoes have a double strap that is connected by little buttons. Hopefully I can make some loafers soon to show. I love these shoes!

Cuddle Blanket

2009-06-07T21:51:00.001-07:00

These blankets are sooooo soft. They are so comfortable and are perfect for cuddling. These babies look so cute in them. My sister Cori uses them for photography props which looks so cute. I made a brown and blue one for my son but I'm too selfish and I use it all the time, but I try to share :).

Newsboy Hat

2009-06-07T21:35:00.000-07:00

I made these hats because I saw how cute they were on little kids. They really do work for all ages. I love Brielle's curls coming out from under the hat. They make great photography props or just a really cute hat.

This one may be a bit big for little Emma :)

Unicorn

2009-04-23T22:44:00.001-07:00

This is a different version of my horse. My niece Brielle loves unicorns and I wanted to make her something for Christmas, so this is what came of it. As you can tell this one has been loved a lot. It used to have a tail too. I'm glad she's enjoyed it so far.

Horse

2009-04-23T22:34:00.000-07:00

I got a lot of compliments on these guys when I sold them recently at a boutique. Each one has a saddle and a bridle. They are so much fun. I originally just made one for Colin when he was really little. The contrasting colors were great for him and he loved playing with the tail and mane. It works great for all ages. So far I've made them in 7 different styles. I've tried to stay true to actual horse coloring but maybe it would be fun to change things up a bit.

Flower Clips

2009-04-23T22:24:00.001-07:00

The flower clips are so fun. They are soft and I've been able to make them in so many different colors. I see little girl, hair clips everywhere and they are so expensive and they are made out of some flimsy plastic material. These are made out of crochet thread and ribbon. They work in lots of curly hair (as Brielle shows) or in very little and very soft hair (as little Emma shows).

Cars

2009-04-23T22:20:00.000-07:00

This is a pattern I got from deliciouscrochet. It turned out so cute. It looks just like the cars from the disney movie. I want to make so many more of these in different colors.

Red and Yellow Elf Hat

2009-03-23T12:44:00.001-07:00

I saw this kind of hat in a picture and thought they were so cute, so this is my first attempt at making one. They really add some character. They are a lot of fun. Thanks to my sister Cori, I've got some really cute pictures of it too. Check out her blog at corihenderson.blogspot.com. She's a great photographer.

Madagascar Penguins

2009-03-23T12:41:00.001-07:00

The mischevious penguins from the Madagascar movie, including: Skipper, Rico, Kwalski, and Private. Very soft and fun. Measuring between 4-7 inches. These guys were inspired by my cousins: Olivia, Dallin, Cameron and Lauren Blacker. Thanks for the idea.

Jungle Animals

2009-03-23T12:37:00.000-07:00

My jungle animal collection includes: Lion, Tiger, Hippo, Snake, Elephant, Zebra, Giraffe, Monkey and Black Panther. Each has its own personality, and is covered with soft fur. Fun and cuddly for any age.

Snake

2009-03-23T12:34:00.000-07:00

The bendable rattle snake with a real rattling tail is perfect for little kids to play with. It's soft and fun.

Tiger

2009-03-23T12:30:00.000-07:00

This soft and fierce tiger is very soft and cuddly (as my cute little niece, Brielle, shows). He's covered with very soft fur.

Hippo

2009-03-23T12:20:00.000-07:00

Part of my jungle collection that I started for my son Colin. Soft grey fur that covers the entire body but the tail and soft tusks. Ultra cuddly and fun.

Animal Purses

2009-03-23T11:43:00.000-07:00

I saw this pattern and thought it was too cute to pass up. I've made a kitty, a bunny and a pig purse. They are so much fun. The whole thing is about 12 inches long and about 6 inches wide. So fun for little girls to keep their treasures in. Modeled by the greatest sport ever, Brielle.

The Bunny has long ears and a fluffy tail. The Kitty has a long tail and cute little paws. The pig is complete with a curly tail and piggy nostrils. Each has it's own pretty ribbon around its neck.
