Happy Halloween from our lil' devil!

Recently made things

After uploading what seems like a zillion pictures on to my laptop in recent days, I realized there have been quite a few crafty things that I have been making that I have forgot to share with you.  So here ya go!

Dim the lights, cue the music, and enjoy the craftiness...

First up, pillows!  The burlap pillow was inspired by some similar projects seen recently in pinterest.  Not one in particular gave me the idea for this project, however I did follow this tutorial on how to make an envelope style pillow.  The bird and "b" were stenciled using fabric paint, and well, a stencil.  Very, very easy.

The mustard yellow crochet pillow seen below was also an idea from pinterest, however I did follow a pattern for it.  Free tutorial found here.  Giant button bought at Jo-Anns.  I am so in love with how it turned out I can't wait to make another one!

I also recently crochet a couple gifts for a coworker who is expecting a baby in November.  I love how this hat turned out!  Free pattern here:  earflap hat.

 Like the little tag attached to the hat?  Oh yea, I made that too...  Inspired by this pin...  Recently I bought some rubber stamps so I can stamp the words instead of writing them out, but I haven't actually made any quite yet.  I will be attaching these to all my hand-made gifts from now on!

The back of the gift tags

This crochet crocodile was a gift for a different baby shower and I loved it so much I had to make another for myself...  Pattern was bought on etsy.

And finally, in the last few days I made a crocheted a Rabbit to coordinate with my Little Veggie Mobile.  If you are interested in making your own Roux the Rabbit, the pattern is for sale in my etsy store.

Hope you enjoyed that crafty photo bomb! You will be happy to know, it has been Bosco approved...

Little Veggie Baby Mobile

After some moderate success with selling my Bees Mobile Pattern on etsy, I decided to write another mobile crochet pattern!  It has taken me about a month to write the pattern, make the mobile, photograph it, and put it on etsy, but I finally finished.  Introducing, the little Veggies:

This pattern features four cute little veggies: Ethel the Eggplant, Carl the Carrot, Piper & Pete the Petite Peas, and Ruby the Radish, as well as Roux the Rabbit all hanging from a lovely wooden hoop.  

If you are interested, the pattern can be purchased here:  Little Veggie Mobile Pattern

Happy hooking!
