It’s I Love YARN Day and here’s what I’ve been Hookin’

Happy I LOVE Yarn Day to all the “Knitta’s & Crocheters” out there – Or do I dare say “Hooka’s”??!!! LOL! So this was in the making – I absolutely LOVE making Crocheted Loveys! They are just so fast and quick to make up and just ADORABLE! This is my latest! Stay tuned for more to come!

So I posted on Facebook yesterday about the Princess waiting for her night! The photo was super cute as he wasn’t done yet! Well I finished him last night!

I LOVE how he turned out! He’ll also be available in my Etsy shop very soon along with more options. I’m having a blast making these up. Need more Princesses, Knights….hmmm how about a Prince? A little competition huh? LOL!

I’ll post a few other projects that I am working on tomorrow.

So for now thanks for stopping by and as always,

Happy Craftin’,

Crocheted Dodger Girl

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls

I’m baaackk…..Told you I’d be back sharing my latest creation!

I was inspired to make my Doll by many Doll Makers but I have to say the 1st doll that inspired me was from a gal named Aniqua Wilkerson from “My Kinda Thing” on Facebook then I saw another doll from Dee Dee from “Off D’Hook Creations” also on Facebook they both were such an inspiration to me as I hadn’t done Amigurumi in years and seeing their creations got that creativity flowing and I pulled out a Bunny I had sitting around for awhile which you can see HERE!

Anyway seeing their Beautiful Dolls inspires this one! I have to say I’m “Extremely Proud” of myself! I’ve been waiting to bring this girl to life for some time now! Before I introduce you I’ve got to say this – Besides the Shoes (The Crochet Crowd) & the Flower in her hair – I made her up as I went along!

I am so Happy for you to Meet Yvette Monique -As you can see she’s a Baseball Girl! As you can also see she’s a Huge Dodger Fan and Loves #22 Kershaw! Her brother is a Pitcher and also Loves #22! She’s super pumped and ready for her next game! She stands at approx. 19 inches tall! She plays softball herself and if you ask her she’s got a great arm and runs like the wind! LOL! Speaking of running like the wind I need to get running to get my son for his next Track Meet soon! As always thanks for stopping by and who know maybe you’ll get to meet her brother and some of her friends and YES they are ALL Dodger Fans!! Feel free to share this post!

Happy Crafting,

Corner to Corner Graphgan?

categories: WIP's

Hey Crafters! I know it’s been a while BUT wait til you see what I’ve been up to!!!

I wanted to share my latest WIP (work in progress) which I got started. It’s called a Corner to Corner or C2C Aghan in this case it’s a Graphgan – what does this mean? Well its going to be a Crocheted blanket starting in 1 corner and working your way up! Graphgan – meaning it’s going to have a type of photo in it. NOW I have to say I have done something like this before way back in the day but it was done a little differently. I’ve been seeing so many AWESOME Blankets with this and I’m finally attempting my own! Here’s the progress! Any guesses as to what it’s going to be? I’ll be posting more items so stay tuned! One in just a little bit!

***Now if you are a crocheter and are reading this I have a few Quick Questions – For those making Bobble-Ghans or C2C Graphgans which do you like better or which goes faster for you? AND which has less string mess.

Thanks for stopping by and as always,

Happy Crafting!

More Crocheted Little Mermaids

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls, Pattern

So as promised here is the 2nd Mermaid Doll I made! I really like how she turned out too! She’s absolutely perfect!

These are very addicting to make I do have to admit!

This is paid pattern which you can get HERE – It’s super detailed and has awesome pictures to follow.

A lot of hard work went into this pattern. It takes so much time to make sure written patterns come out right! Below is a side view picture!

Here is a side view – Don’t you just love the “Star Fish” in her HAIR????? It’s a great touch!

Well until next time thanks for stopping by!

My son will be a Middle Schooler! Yikes time sure flies!
For our family vacation this year we went to Hawaii and stayed at the “Disney Resort – Aulani” on the Island of Oahu! So much FUN! This Picture above was the view from our room!
Talk about breath taking??? Smelling the beach air, hearing the waves, smelling the great food! Awesome! We could see & hear everything from our room!

So the next morning waking up and hearing all kinds of FUN stuff going on.
We open our door to this!!!
