Unicorns are Magical!

My daughter called one night, and told me that her co-worker's birthday was coming up - and she loves Unicorns.  Would I please make her a hat!!

Well, needless to say, I had the hat itself done in that very evening!

The horn and the mane were done the next night.

Her birthday was last week ---- 

And....... SHE LOVED IT!!!

WIP Wednesday

There have some changes in my life - and I have had some extra time to crochet - which has made me VERY happy!!! I made this little Swiss cake roll 

which I'm going to give as a gift to someone special who LOVES swiss cake rolls. I think I will make it a little longer and maybe not so "puffy". I'm very excited to make a full box of them!

I have been wanting to make these cute little dum-dum flowers some time now.

 I just never had a reason - I found a reason, and then changed my mind. So, I think that I will make a few little "bouquets" to give to some special friends.

 

And, I am slowly working on this afghan for my nephew's baby this is due in February. I have some time... so, I am not trying to rush. 

I've also been working on a birthday present for a family member - but, I can't share it here - (too many eyes!)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Hats

Happy Birthday to my little nephew!

William turned One today!!!

I love to make hats!!!

When I saw crocheted TMNT hats on Pinterest... I thought it would be "perfect" for little William!!

Then, I realized.... how can I make just ONE TMNT hat... I have to make all four!

So, William's 2 sisters and his Grandpa (#1 TMNT fan) each got one!!

I must say..... the Hats were a Hit!!!

I didn't follow a particular pattern to make these hats.  I used a hat pattern from Repeat Crafter Me. Then just improvised the placement of the band of color. Then I just looked for a pattern for the eyes.  (There are lots of them on the internet!)

Happy "30 Gnome" Birthday!!

So, Are you like me? And find it hard to throw away a PERFECTLY good toilet paper roll?

No?

I'm Crazy??

I think I have spent too many years working with children... knowing that there are so many uses for a sturdy tp roll~~~

 Well, my second daughter turned 30 last month - and she loves Gnomes... so, her sister and I decided to "Bomb" her house with 30 gnomes.

 Here are just a 

few of the places we placed them.

  She loved it!!!  Happy Thirtieth Birthday!!

 

This blog was my inspiration!!  She is ALWAYS an inspiration!!! Thank you Sarah!

Card Kits

I made this card from a kit.... I didn't think I would like it.... but, it turned out really well. The butterfly is the best part... don't know if you can tell from the picture... but it has 3 layers, and then a rhinestone head.... then a brad at the top of the Birthday wishes

These next 4 cards are from a little kit that I bought. I was cleaning up my desk and came across them... they are very simple... but, I am glad that I got them done and ready to use!!
