Basket, Bear Ami and Baby Blanket

Hi there! It has been a bit but I have been busy with things away from crafts for a bit - but all is okay now. First is a basket I made for a friend. It was my own design by the flower is from Bonita Patterns - it is called Croco Flower.

Next is a little baby bear I made for another friend. I found the pattern at Crafty Expressions. Mine didn't even come close to hers but the friend said she liked it, so hopefully it's all okay in the end.

And last is a blanket I made for a NICU unit. A friend of mine donates a bunch of items to them monthly and I offered to make a few items for her to add to the box. I found this pattern at Lisa Lately's Blog. She called the blanket Easy Baby Blanket.

That's all for now - be back soon, hopefully

Teddy Bear Blankie!

This was a project - Well a fun one but a learning experience to the differences in baby yarns. I thought all baby yarns were the same, NOT!!!! So with that in mind, when I put the squares together they became an Irregular Teddy Bear! But now that I have learned that the one I am making next will be right on target - I hope. The pattern was found on the way back machine and was more of a guide than a true pattern, so I did it my way and I think it's came out okay other than the lining up of the squares.






Be back soon with more to share.

Teddy Bear - First Attempt!

I finally tried a teddy bear. This pattern comes from planetjune.com - it was a pattern I purchased. He was made with Lion Brand Fun Fur in Copper. He has velvet button blue eyes and a black velvet nose. He just got delivered to my friend's grand-daughter.

A slightly closer view:



He isn't like the creators - but I think with a lot more practice I will get better. But everyone, so far, who has seen him thinks he is a cutie!
