Squares, Ami and Monkey Hat!

The first completed items I wanted to share is six - 12" flower themed squares for one of my friends on my swapping list.







Next is another flower square for a swap I am doing. But I mostly took the picture to show the friend who made me the blocking board! So I can make sure my 12" squares are actually 12"!!! I love it!



By the way, all of the flower squares are free patterns on line - search for flower square and you will find a LOT of them!

Next is a little kitty amigurami I made for a gift for a friend. The pattern I found on line - it is called ChiChi Kitty.



And last, but no way lease, is a Monkey Hat I made for my heart nephew! I so enjoyed making it! Also, this was a free pattern - I searched for Monkey Hat and found one that was available in all sizes!





That is it for now - thanks for looking.

A Wide Varitey of Items

Here I am back again with a LOT of finished items.

Up first is 100 Heart pins I made for the local nursing home for their Valentine's Day Dinner and Dance! I got the pattern at Suzettas Heart Pin



Next is a flower square I made for a swap - the pattern was in a book I borrowed so I don't have access to it anymore.



Next is a St Patrick's day square I made for a swap. I found the pattern at Irish Pride Square



Next is a lapghan I made for a good friend, Karen. It is made with Caron Simply Soft in Nutmeg and Chocolate. The picture of the lapghan shows it in her home! I found the pattern at Aunt Dot's Afghan I made it slightly smaller.



Next is a bunny basket I made for an Easter Themed Swap - I plan on putting candies and such in the basket! I found the pattern at Bunny Basket



Next is a little Amigurami kitten I made. I found the pattern at Itty Bitty Kitty I did a front view so you could see her cute face and a side view to show off her tail.





And last but by no means least - is something I am working on designing! A chocolate kisses hat! This one is designed and sized for a 0 to 3 months old baby. I am working on the other sizes and hope to be able to offer them soon!



That's it for now - be back soon with more!

Cupcake Hat, African Hexagon Flowers, etc.

Well of course, I have some more completed projects! First is a Cupcake Hat I made for my heart niece. The first view is it standing up and the second view is it laying flat. It is black for the wrapper, pink for the 'cupcake' and a red cherry on top! I found the pattern on line - just look for cupcake hat. I forgot to save the link - sorry.





Next is another beanie for my heart niece. It is a pretty blue and green mottled yarn - very soft. Just a simple double crochet.



Next are a bunch of African Hexagon Flowers I made for a friend on one of my swap lists - I do so hope she likes them and can use them for her projects. It was a blast to match these colors up. You can find the pattern at African Flower



And last is my started Christmas Lapghan. I received two squares a month from members of my swap group - it is so pretty - I have four more to add - but had to share -it's so gorgeous!! And it's all MINE!!




That's it for now - be back soon.

Amiguramis, a doily, a hat and starting a new project!

Well I am beyond happy! Beyond thrilled! I finished three Amigurami's! First is a mushroom that can be a toy or a pincushion. Mine doesn't look that much like the pattern picture but I like it! You can find the pattern here Mushroom



Next is a swan. I purchased this pattern on Etsy from Amy Gaines. I like the way she looks - elegant but with a curiosity. Amy's shop is here Amy Gaines Etsy Shop



Next is a Koala Bear. I am beyond pleased at the way this little guy looks! He is adorable - my humble opinion of course. While I was putting him together we were all laughing. Before his ears and face were done he looked a lot like E.T. The pattern can be found here Koala Bear



And here is a Winnie the Pooh Amigurami I received as a gift! Isn't he the cutest? I love him - he is a treasure as I sure do love Pooh Bear! Because it was a gift I have no access to the pattern sorry - but there are many Pooh and Friends pattern all over the web.



Now onto to other projects. Here is a blue doily I made. It was an easy pattern and worked up fast and I really like the way it came out! You can find the pattern here Easy Doily



I am very pleased with this little hat. Y'all also get to see a pic of me with this hat. The hat pattern can be found here Summer Hat and the rose pattern can be found here Rose Tutorial



Finally, I am starting a new project and will be "walking" all of you through the process from start to finish! The first part of the project involves a shopping trip for yarn! Here is what I purchased. Five skeins of Red Heart Super Saver in Delft Blue and one large skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Soft White. I will publish the next step in a few days - it will include the pattern, hook size and what I did to make it a bit larger than it's originally written size.



I was told that this Delft Blue looks a lot like the Carolina Blue from the University of North Carolina and the TarHeels!
