Easter For My Neices and AG

I saw these cute Easter accessories for an American Girl... and I know 2 special young ladies that each have an several American Girls.

These little bunny ears were too precious.... (maybe I should make some for myself!!)

I made one basket for each of them, and a bunny ears headband

They were fun to create!

The entire pattern had a sweet little Easter dress to go with the accessories.  But, I am just pleased with myself that I got these 4 items made and sent in time for Easter morning!!!

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!!!

Wonder Crochet Blanket CAL #2 & #3

 

So, as I shared a few weeks ago

I was doing another crochet-along.

Here is installment 2 and 3.

My life has been a little crazy - so I wasn't able to take a picture at the end of installment 2

I am using scraps - so, it looks a little "rough" right now - but, I'm hoping that in a few months, it will look better.

I'm almost done with installment 4 - so, I'm going to hopefully take pictures in the new couple of days.

Segment #2 & #3

Hello!!!

Well, for quite some time I have been wanting to have a blog that is all about Dachshunds.  I have done it sporadically for a few years.... 

Well, I have a new post - and wanted to share it!!

For The Love Of Doxies

If you love dachshunds,

Or, if you love me....

Jump on over!

Gifts for Christmas??? In January???

Found this CAL (Crochet-a-long) that spends all year making gifts, so that when Christmas comes around, you are ready with gifts to give.

The first pattern was a hat.

I'm not so sure I would have picked this pattern from a list of patterns - 

but, I think that it turned nicely.  

The picture of this pattern had ribbon woven in on the bottom. 

I wasn't sure what color to use. 

What do you think? Dark green? White?  

This was a very easy pattern

Kind of looks like a Christmas Tree, doesn't it?

 

Then, I showed it to Lynn (my youngest daughter) and she took it.

Okay, I told her she could have it!

 I looks good on her!

(But, I said "Merry Christmas!!)

Just In Time For Super Bowl!

My nephew was expecting his first baby this month!

My nephew is on the football team at college. 

I was so excited to make a little football hat. 

I saw the pattern, and whipped it up over a weekend! (I was quite proud of myself)

He had the baby last week

Welcome to little Carter Max

What a sweetie!!

Repeat Crafter Me had the pattern

(love her site)

What's Hap-pinning Wednesday

Linking up here

It's been awhile since I blogged about my pins.

I really find it nice to go back through my pins, and look at what I found interesting in the last few weeks!

Still pinning Christmas - but I won't bore you

Easter is coming - and this looks so cute!!

 Maybe make a garland out of them!

Now for the crochet pins (of course)

 Baby blanket

Something cute for my little granddaughter!

Cute way to package my homemade gifts

Cute little fruit (maybe for my nieces?)

And, last but not least - the cutest doxie purse ever!

Wonder Crochet Blanket CAL

Well, I'm going to start another Crochet-A-Long

 

link 

I know, I know, you never saw the 2015 baby blanket crochet-a-long finished. 

I still have it on my mind - knowing I need to finish it! 

 But, something more "flashy and bright" caught my eye....

 I have ADD... okay???

Anyway - be happy for me.....

This one is a little different. I will be crocheting rows, instead of blocks.... the up side: No joining.... YAY!!!!

Anyway.... here are my first 6 rows:

 

I don't have a color scheme.

I am using my stash of yarn.

 That is the only way that I was going to justify doing ANOTHER project!

Cozy Posy Scarf and Headband

 These are the gifts that I made for my sweet nieces.

They are so soft and cuddly - I wanted to make one for myself!!!

        

 It appears that the girls liked their scarves and headbands!

I don't know where Hannah's headband is - I will have to investigate this matter!!

Here are the patterns:Cozy Posy Headband       Cozy Posy Scarf

Hey, Benjamin! Let's Go Fishing!

 It was my sweet little grandson, Benjamin's birthday last week. 

He turned 4 years old.

He is so precious.  My heart just EXPLODES when I think about him!!

 

He LOVES fishing, so I thought I would just crochet him a fishing pond with fish!

 The fish have a metal washer crocheted in their mouth. Here is the pattern.

There was not a pattern for the "pond".  So, I just started a circle and kept going until it was big enough.

 Then, I made a draw string. Found a stick (Ben calls it a "fish stick") and crocheted a pretty strong magnet onto the end.

 

It seems that baby sister loved the fish.  She thought that was the best part!

 

 And, of course Ben figured out that the magnet would pick up his other toys... so, they went into the pond, also!!

Happy Birthday to the Lovely Sierra!

 Sierra is 11 years old today!!

Happy Birthday Sierra!!!

 

I had so much fun making these, and finding "just the right" flower to make this pennant just perfect!

Then I thought it would be fun the curl it around into a little "puzzle"

I used the lower case alphabet and banner from Moogly!
