Well it’s April 1st – Where did the last 3 months go???? Yikes! Well I have to say this morning I totally April Fooled my son! He was all ready for school and we were just about to leave and I said “Hey, I just got a text and No School today!” Oh you should of seen his face light up! Oh it was priceless! Especially when I told him “April Fools!” LOL! Oh man it was good!
Anyway, I’ve had this Bunny put aside for a little bit and finally pulled her out to finish her! I’m on a Crochet Group on Facebook and there’s a lady there and she just has the most adorable dolls EVER! I’ll have to share one of her Dolls here but will ask permission first!
Anyway it totally got me inspired to finish my Bunny. So glad I did….they will be listed in my Etsy Shop soon just need to take a proper Photo Shoot! I just LOVE her cuteness. If you look close you’ll notice in her rollers those are Tootsie Rolls! Doesn’t she just make you smile?
Thanks for stopping by and as always…..

Hi again! Well here we go…let me just say that the blanket itself is a Granny Square! I made my square about 15 x15 which includes the border.
Ok, next I am sharing a link for the Elephant and the a link for the Banana. I can’t post those directions for the banana since it’s from a magazine.
So here are the Links – This one is for the Blankets with all the different ones you can make http://brittasami.blogspot.se/2012/03/baby-blanket.html and the next one is where I found the banana http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sock-monkey-cuddle-blanket If you have any problems with them let me know.
So now for my directions for the monkey’s facial features: I’ve never written a pattern so I’m going to do the best I can. They are pretty basic and easy I hope! Now you know we all have a different tension and I tend to crochet tight.
I used a size G Crochet Hook for all the features of the Monkey including ears and arms.
For the Head I used a size F hook. This combo worked for me. You’ll just have to play around and see what works for you after you make the Head.
Hello
all! Well I wanted to re-share this post from last month which was on the old blogging platform I was using.
I had an order for 4 of my Baby Loveys that I sell in my Etsy Shop. The most popular one is the Crocheted Baby Ella the Elephant Lovey, next is this Monkey. Well I absolutely LOVED how these babies came out and totally missed them when I had to ship them out! I just love how the faces came out!
Gotta Love the Banana in the hand too! I was asked if I had a pattern and gave out most of the links but I made the facial features myself and will post later tonight or early tomorrow.
I’ll post all the links for everything.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Craftin’,
