Happy Thursday All! Well I’m pretty please with how these Shark Slippers came out! My friend had posted them on my Face Book timeline and I just new I had to make them!
What do you think? I know something other then a Mermaid Tail Blanket right?!
Working on a Shark Hat next! It’s almost done. Just need to add the eyes. Of course I’ll have to make a Shark Blanket too right? I mean it just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t!

So here are my 18″ Doll Size Mermaid Tails I created! I was totally inspired by MJ’s Off the Hook Creations as I mentioned in another post! I LOVE how fast as easy these are to work up! I’ve had some of crochet friends test the pattern for me and made a few changes and it’s ready! So here is it FREE for all my “Hookin’ Friends” to enjoy!
PATTERN: 18 inch Doll Mermaid Tail Blanket Pattern If you have any problems loading it from here please let me know.
These will fit an American Girl doll or any 18″ Doll plus I’m sure it will for sure fit those little blessings that decide they want to come into the world just a little sooner they are suppose to!
Don’t crochet and want to Order? Check out my Etsy Shop Link to the right. Order a matching one for your “Sweet Little Mermaid” how cute to have matching ones! I’ve added many new sizes to my shop. I’ve got new colors coming too!

Perf
ect 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!
Anyway, 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!

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.
Anyway, 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’,

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!
Here 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…
Happy Craftin,
