Chocobo!

What comes from a combination of fantasy and Easter - the largest known version of chicken - Chocobo :) If there is anyone who doesn't know Chocobos are super cute creatures from Final Fantasy video games. I can even remember them from a versions they were a bunch of yellow pixels, and let me tell You they were already cute!

I just finished him, it took so much time and so much yarn ... (I seriously don't have any yellow yarn in my entire house). I wrote down the pattern but I think it will take me some time to make the complete post with pattern. 

But after making these photos I could not wait to share them with you! He is all wired inside, so it is fully adjustable and therefore so photogenic. I am so pleased he can stand an sit and look great in almost every position. I think he will be the biggest decoration of our Easter table and when I say biggest I mean it :) He came up quite large but we will find the place, who cares about food, right?.

What do you think?

Easter egg decoration - Sheep

Sheep I made some time ago for my Mom ( She collects sheep of any sorts and kinds). They are wonderful to decorate your table for Easter or basically any other occasion You serve eggs. They look really wonderful, a bit silly maybe but mostly very very cute.
When I was making pictures for this pattern I had this fantasy about making the whole flock of white sheep with only one black in the middle. What a wonderful table decoration that woud be. Anyway I recommend You to make at least two from the pattern below.

Special thanks to +Lương Bình who motivated me to write this pattern :)

Materials:

• white, black, brown, beige yarn ( I use the yarn which gauge is 24.0 to 30.0 sts = 4 inches/10 cm )
• hook 3 mm

Pattern:

Superbunny and Bunnyman - Easter egg cozies

Projekt jajo - Geek-i króliki

Projekt jajo - Króliki nr 1

Projekt jajo - myszka Miki i Mini

Projekt jajo - zombie królik i zombie owca

To chyba moje ulubione ocieplacze, choć zdecydowanie najbrzydsze :) Zrobione specjalnie z myślą o mojej Małgosi, podobno jej Mama zabrała je do swojej święconki, ale czy przeżyły kropienie wodą święconą tego już nie wiem, a w razie apokalipsy zombie wiedza ta mogłaby się przydać...

(Those are probably my favorite warmers, but definitely the ugliest :) Made for my best friend.)

Projekt jajo - owieczki

Owieczki robiłam dla mojej Mamy, która swojego czasu miała ich całą kolekcję.
(White and black lambs were made for my mom, she has the whole collections of sheeps and lambs of all shapes and sizes)

Nie pamiętam już niestety wzoru na poszczególne części, ale na prośbę jestem w stanie go odtworzyć, jeśli ktoś jest zainteresowany proszę o komentarz.
(Unfortunatly, I did not write the pattern, but I should be able to remake it. If someone is interested please write in comments...)

Egg Cozies Easter Project - Base pattern for cozies - FREE

 A simple idea for Easter gifts for family and friends - egg warmers :) or as You prefer Egg Cozies
Easter is such a wonderful time. I love this Christmas especially because of  color and flowers and warmth - well that isn't so sure actually two years ago we had snow on Easter, my godson was building snow rabbits in the garden :D. But what I like about Easter most of all is all the arts and crafts that comes with it.

Since I remember we were painting Easter eggs, for almost 10 years now me and my husband are competing whose eggs will be the best. I need to say my always won cause they were much more commercially friendly for the whole family to vote :) They were filled with cute chickens and bunny's while my husband painted hell hounds and crazy rabbits and whatever his crazy imagination told him. I actually always like his creations most and it actually tough me to think both:inside and outside the box :) In other words to make simple-obvious projects and creative-crazy too.

So beside the egg painting I was also trying to figure out other Easter projects that would give vent to my creativity and christmas spirit. That's how the egg cozies project was created. I wanted to decorate eggs in some other way than painting. Firstly I was going to make one pair of cozies for my table but I couldn't decide what to make I especially wanted to make Mickey and Minnie pair but I new it wasn't very Easter-y so I ended up making a bunch of cozies for my friends and family. I made sheeps, chickens a lot of rabbits, zombie sheep and rabbit :D

It's all based on one cozies crochet base (pattern below), which is very easy to make. I suppose there can be some differences in egg sizes (mine were quite big :) so when You will be making Yours please remember to try them on before making a lot of them.

If You like make Your own cozies with my base pattern or use ones I already made I wrote down the patterns:

I also wanted to add that this is such an easy project I recommend it to anyone who is learning to crochet, especially easy are flowers. Enjoy the free pattern and please don't forget to send me photos of Your creations.
And Happy Easter (if it's actually Easter when You are reading this:)
