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.

Headbands

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
