Hooky Fun Stuff!

Now how cute are these!!!  I spent yesterday testing this pattern for my friend Ellen.  They make me positively hooky happy!  So much, that I have a third one started.  You can find the pattern here in Ellen's etsy shop.  Check out their mittens!  I put them on a little string so they won't get lost!

Are you ready for some more Rooster Love??!!

Well, here ya go!  They even say "Love"!  I just about have the pattern the way I like it, so after Christmas I should have it ready.  I like dressing them up in buttons and embroidery. 

I did this one in a sport weight yarn and smaller hook.  He is tiny. 

Speaking of Rooster Love, I finished up this little stocking this week, too.

Oh the whimsy!!!  I am having a little fetish with the black and red right now, LOL.  I actually had to make another trip to Hobby Lobby yesterday for more red and black yarn.

His nose kinda reminds me of Fog Horn Leg Horn.  :-)  I have a few more of these to crank out before Christmas.  Good thing they are fun to work on...or I would be crazy by now.

Check out the little pink one!  The candy cane just makes it.  I found it here on Tangled Happy's Blog.  I just love her blog, always full of good ideas and inspiration.

All you need are some scraps and some pipe cleaners.  They work up in minutes! 

Well, that's about it for me!  It's been a productive week.  I'm hoping for the same next week.  Y'all have a good week!

Bye!

Christmas Time Crochet

It's like a little workshop here...yarn everywhere, buttons, embroidery floss.  And I keep miss placing my scissors!  LOL!!!

More little stockings are in the works.  I love the little snowman!!  Isn't he cute!!  Then I crocheted up the little stripe-ity to go with it.

I like his little face and scarf...it just flat out makes me smile!

 Here is another color combination I am working on.  This one is destined to have a little snowman on him.

I am calling him "Chicken Love"!  I do think I need to tighten up my stitches and work on the body shape a little, I want him to be a little fatter.  But the wings and head I am completely satisfied with!!!  He is so folk-art-ish I can't stand it!

Check out what one of the girls at Knitting taught me!  Yes, broomstick crochet.  It's so easy and fun I can't stand it.  I made myself this little cuff and can't seem to make myself take it off.  I want to make one that is wider, oh if I only had more time on my hands!

I managed to find some time to make these up for an etsy order.  Note the tail!  I changed it up a bit.  Oh how I like making these.  My favorite is the black one.

Well, goodbye for now.  Tons to do, and time is flying by way too fast.  I'll be back soon!  Everyone have a great week!

Christmas Crocheting

It has been a nice Thanksgiving weekend here.  After feasting on turkey and dressing, I spent time crocheting, Christmas crocheting!  I found this pattern on ravelry and immediately grabbed a hook and some yarn and started.  These are so much fun to make!!!  It's a free pattern at Le monde de Sucrette.  I have also become a fan of her blog...her crochet is off the chain! 

Putting together all these bright colors and adding buttons and pom-poms has been a blast.  They work up quickly, too!  I am thinking about doing a little garland with these, if I can get enough done in time.  Seems I can't find enough of it these days to get everything done. 

 Owlies Pattern Ready!!

I am happy to say I have my Owlie pattern done, and listed in my etsy shop!  Thank you to my testers who helped me out with this!! 

OMG...I just had a thought of little mini stockings with owls on them!!  I can see it!  Uh oh...think I have to go work on one! 

I hope everyone has a great week!
