As usual, Many items!

Lots to share today - I am truly behind on adding things to the blog - but it takes a while to get someone to help me with pictures - but I hope it was worth the wait!

First is a little blue gnome. These guys are so cute, I leave them at hotel rooms with a little note about them and hope that the cleaning person enjoys them and smiles. I've also left them in other places as well and enjoy trying to find a spot to watch them be found by their new family! You can find the pattern here: Simple Gnome



Next is a baby blanket I made. It is a cross stitch crocheted stitch - no pattern - just a stitch I wanted to try out and did a few rows of each color. It is up for sale on my other blog.



Next is a Drop In the Pond afghan. The pattern is by Elizabeth Ham and you can find it on Ravelry under her name or the pattern name. This is also for sale on my other blog.



Next is a monkey lovey. Also known as a snugglie, snuggle, security blanket, etc. this is a small head of a stuffed animal with a small blanket attached to the head. It is for a child to use as a security blanket or lovey to carry around with them. He can be washed and dried with the regular clothes and be given back to the child as soon as he is clean and spiffy again. It is a pattern I found on line searching for lovey. I made it for a friend for her new great grand child.



Next is some napkin rings I made for a swap. I did a search for napkin rings, and got some ideas and sort of did this up on my own - no true pattern.



Next is ripple lapghan I made for one of the local nursing homes. The picture doesn't do the color justice - it is a bright green called limelight - very shocking and the lady that received it loves it!



And last for today, is a little row counter I made. One of my friends on a crochet group, shared this adorable little tool with us and it took me a bit but I finally was able to make one for myself. It is just a thin dowel with wooden beads that you move to the right and left to help you keep count of your rows as you are crocheting.

Drop in the Pond Lapghan and Sailboat Wall Hanging

Hello - well I am back with a couple more completed projects.

The first one is a Sailboat Wall Hanging I made for a friend's grandson. I had such fun making this - searching for beads, and heart shapes and the actual crocheting and then putting it all together! I found the pattern here at Sail Away

Second and last for today is a lapghan called Drop in the Pond. I did it white, red and black. I think it is a striking color combination. I donated it to our local nursing home and they are going to raffle it off! Such a blessing. I found the pattern at Drop in the Pond

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!

More projects and a Christmas Lapghan

I am back with more completed items. First is a purple and white wine bottle cover. Makes a great gift wrap idea. You can find the pattern at Wine Bottle Cover



Next is a little heart doily I made for a friend on one of my lists. You can find the pattern at Heart Doily



Next is a cornflower blue with silver thread running through it that I made for myself- this pattern was from an old magazine.



Next is a square I made from a pattern from The Needlecrafter Shop - it was a collectors series that I received in the mail years ago. I made it slightly bigger than the original pattern - I wanted it to be a 12" square.



And finally and the most treasured item I have right now - is my Christmas lapghan. I was in a swap for months sharing Christmas colored squares with other swappers - I put mine together for myself - first lapghan for just me! I love it - and I can not take any credit but that I sewed them together!



Be back soon with more.
