Alligator

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy 4th of July!

Pincushions

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

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!

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!

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

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

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.
