Easter is on it's way....Only after Valentines Day!


The next Craft Show i'm attending is March 22nd! Mother's Day & Easter round the corner! SO i thought...BUNNIES! I love bunnies, toy bunnies, and have already found over a dozen patterns i want to try, time permitting with orders and random pattern distraction!

THEN i saw this pattern by Happie Scrappie! :) 
Soooooooooo CUTE!! You have to go and check everything out!


I didn't add the face to the hat, and i used a 3.50mm hook,
 making this guy 4 x 4 x 4 inches approximately!


With or without hat......SO CUTE <3

Big Striped Bear

I'd like to share with you a teddy bear i have made for a friend, to give her own friend's daughter as a gift! I found the pattern via Pinterest (of course) by K & J Dolls Blog! Fantastic pattern, so easy to follow, and boy is the bear a big one! I see many variations in the future!


My customised changes, I worked in a spiral instead of (slst, ch1) a little pink bow and pink heart on one of her feet! I changed the stripe pattern to suit, just counting how many rows needed to be crocheted.....I also changed the ears, making a circle to 30sc, decreasing to 24, changing colour to white and decreasing to 6sc and fastening off! I hope the little girl who receives this teddy bear is VERY happy!

Friday Funny

Happy Friday everyone! I know a few people who can relate to this picture, time sure flies when you are having fun! Have a super weekend, stay warm and safe in this crazy weather!

The Granny Square Challenge - Day #7

So this one looked easy. Boy was i WRONG! For some reason i think the instructions are missing something as Row 3 i had to go by looking at the photo rather than the instructions to make it look right....Could be i'm tired perhaps! Turned out great though :) Would make a nice blanket with these, lots of different colours, a nice throw!

Pattern is here at Hopeful Honey


It's sitting on top of a cotton washcloth i made in a similar tone of colour :)


The First Week in review! :)

The Granny Square Challenge - Day#5

Day #5 - Dly's Hooks & Yarns - Heart Square

Again, i thought this one would be a little tricky BUT it whipped up fast and was easy to follow and form! I love the variations she made on her blog, ice cream's and hearts, would make for a "sweet" afghan!

The Granny Square Challenge - Day #3


This one is really neat! I can see a lot of potential here....I'm using up scraps for my practice squares so please excuse the off colours on some of these! I have a show coming up in March for Mother's Day & Easter, so have been starting little pieces here and there in between orders! You will get sneak peeks behind my new squares each day!
