Thunder and Lightening……

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls

PerfGrammy n Marcusect Crafting weather!  Well Ok, everyday is perfect crafting weather who am I kidding!  We for sure need the rain but as always it won’t be enough!

Well I am finally finished with the last project I shared! I mean it’s not like I was busy with my Son’s 11th Birthday over the weekend or anything!

His actual Birthday was yesterday!  I have no idea where the time goes but I just wish sometimes it would slow down!

This is my Mom and him as we got back from the Movies. We saw Max and we really enjoyed it!

Charlie BrownAnyway, I couldn’t give more sneak peeks of my project as you’d of guessed right away! So without further ado – my latest Amigurumi project!

Yep Charlie Brown! I love PEANUTS & the Gang so when I saw this kit I just had to get it! Link is below if you are interested!

The kit comes with all the materials to make 3 projects – Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Woodstock. But the book has all the instructions to make 9 more characters!

LOVE this kit! Plus I also was able to get the Disney Classic Kit and I’ve got the Star Wars one next on my list PLUS a few of the other ones!  Well I’ve got another project that I’ve got to start and I almost did before I finished this one BUT I was good and finished up Charlie Brown first!  Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions please feel free to leave me a comment or email me directly!

Happy Craftin!

What’s next on my hook…

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls

Good Morning all and Happy Saturday!!

Well Baseball is officially over for my son.  Bitter sweet buy this Mama needed a little break until it all comes around again in August!  So it’s time for Fun in the Sun!  Well not so sunny right now actually a little foggy lookin outside!  But there’s a nice cool breeze.

AmigurumiAnyway, here a quick peek at my latest project.  Yes another doll but not sure you can tell what it’s going to be.  Since my last doll, which still doesn’t have a name, I’m been just a tad bit obsessed with dolls. This one won’t take as along though.

As always, thanks for stopping by and Happy Craftin’,

Doll 4After Math

 

Happy Friday All –  Well I’m finally finished and I have to say that I stayed up til almost 2 am finishing HER!

This is my first Doll and I LOVE HER!  Not my first Amigurumi as I’ve made animals!  See the after math on my table last night??  Ok, so I am not showing you the WHOLE table! LOL! The book I used is in a link below.

Oh Man but it was so FUN making her!  I’m thinking I’ve got a new Obsession.  How can I not!  The possibilities are endless!  You know I’m going to HOOK me another one right?  You betcha!

Doll 3Here she is standing up! She’s coming in at about 13″ tall!  Now what to name her?? HMMM……

My son likes the name Andrea “Lady A” then changed his mind to Makayla.  My daughter and son-in-law like Donna, Sophia, Aubrey then Madison “Maddy” – I’m kinda liking Maddy.

What do you think?  As always thanks for stopping by and…

Crocheted Baby Football Cocoon

categories: Baby Blankets

Football Cocoon 2Hi Crafters!

Well I am done with my latest project! I was done a few days ago BUT needed to take pictures!  I have been wanting to make one of these Baby Cocoons for some time now. I am very pleased with the way it’s turned out!

The materials used for this project are Red Heart Super Saver in White & Coffee and the hook I used for this project is Clover Brand Amour Crochet Hook 1049/J.  I normally use Boye hooks but lately I’ve been wanting to try out different types and styles.  You can see the image and link below.  I have to say it took me a little bit to adjust to it but once I got comfortable with it I loved how smooth it was. The handle has an easy grip too! I was able to crochet a lot longer which is always a PLUS!

Well now what will be on my HOOK next???? You’ll have to wait and see – it’s been something I’ve been wanting to make for some time now but just had to finish the “WIP’s” I already had laying around!  Ok, I have one more BUT it’s a knitting project! Does that count??  Oh well – thanks for stopping & as always…..

Happy Craftin’,

Hookin’ for a Cause

categories: Charity

Knitting Rays of Hope DonationHi Crafters!  Just wanted to post real quick about a website I came upon last year when I started Looming.  It’s called Knitting Rays of Hope.  They make hats for Cancer Warriors, Babies in the NICU and a few other causes.  I believe they just started in 2012 so this site is farely new.

I just sent this package last week filled with hats mostly for boys but my daughter and I also made some for the girls.  We plan on making more to send hopefully in a few month!

If you have been wanting to make and donate hats you’ve got to check them out! I know there are LOTS of places but just had to share this one too!  PLUS they have some great hats for the Loom too which you can find HERE!
I know they have a Minion one that I am for sure going to try.  If you have thought about Looming they’ve got some GREAT tips and how to’s on the site also! As I mentioned that’s how I found them!  So CLICK HERE to check them out!  As always thanks for stopping by &
