Long time no post….

categories: Amigurumi, Pattern, Videos

I know it’s been way to long since I posted! Like everyone else there’s just been so much going on. Boy have I missed sharing things here! Wanted to share that I’m getting back into the swing of things. From blogging and making more video tutorials! YES, you read that right!

I thought I’d start off with something that has been keeping my super busy lately! What is it you ask? Well, it’s bee’s…yup LOT’s of BEE’s!! They are selling like crazy and I can’t keep up! I did a video which I’ll share once it’s loaded on YouTube! I have to warn you though I’m a little out of practice. LOL!! Below are just a few I’ve made.

My inspiration came from TikTok – I first saw the pattern by Robin of Hooked by Robin on YouTube. Then I saw the Kaytedid’s one as well on TikTok. I played around and came up with different sizes that I wanted to share with you all!

Aren’t these the cutest??? This is the most popular size that I make. I do a Mini, Small and Medium which I’ll share with you below. YouTube video is now ready.

I hope you enjoy making them as much as I have. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Teddy Bears in the house

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls

Seriously, How adorable are these Teddy Bears???!!! After making the 1st one I had enough yarn over to make the 2nd one! Not bad for 1 ball of Caron Sprinkle Cake! Which is a brand new line of yarn. Love this in Birthday Cake color and it’s self striping so you don’t know what color will be next. So in LOVE with how they came out. I’ll for sure be adding these to my Etsy shop also! Thanks again to Sarah from Repeat Crafter Me for a GREAT Project!

If you are in the San Clemente area I’ll be adding them there too! Of course went into work at Michaels last night and picked up some more. I got a new color too! I’ll show you that one a little later! Now to get ready for my Sons Baseball Tournament in San Clemente this weekend! I’m for sure packing my yarn! Let’s see what I get done! Have a great weekend and until next time…..

Crocheted Baby Mermaid Cocoon

categories: Baby Blankets

Hey Crafters! Well first I hope you all had a great and safe 4th of July celebration for those who celebrated! We spent it with Family & Friends and GREAT Food! I’ll have to share of course my Spinach Dip recipe but also that cake that was there! It was Yummy!

Well on to my finally finished project – Yes as the title of this post said Baby Mermaid Cocoon which I had been dying to make! I have to say I’m very pleased with how this turned out too!

I found a great video on YouTube which I’ll post the link below for those who maybe interested in making one! Don’t be intimidated it’s really easy once you get the hang of it. I had to change it up just a bit as I wanted my scales to lay just a little differently!

There are 3 videos 1 for the Body, 1 for the Bikini Top and the last for the Starfish headband! Click HERE for the Body part then you’ll see the rest.

Materials I used for this project were all Red Heart Yarn – Colors in Turqua, Pumpkin and a little bit of Aran.

I just LOVE the Starfish Headband & The Shell Bikini top! This would make a great baby shower gift and a super CUTE Photo Prop of your “Little Mermaid”.

These will be in my Etsy shop soon as soon as I take just a little bit better pics! Just had to share before I call it a night!

Well that’s it for now. I’ll be back tomorrow with the Yummy Spinach Dip Recipe! As always thanks for stopping by and…….

Happy Craftin,

Crocheted Baby Football Cocoon

categories: Baby Blankets

Hi 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’,
Yvonne Metz
