Hello folks.

It has occurred to me that I've been up to an awful lot lately and that only my Facebook friends know about my many adventures and creations. Such a shame!

Today we'll catch up on my crocheted creations. This is just a selection of what I've branched out into making over the last year.

Play Food:

 Milk, chicken drumsticks, cookies, carrot, apple


Grapes, Pickles and a Banana (with removable peel)

Fried Eggs, beet root and leaves, donut and corn (with removable husk)

A dozen cupcake

  
Close up of said cupcakes

 
Stuffed Toys:

 Giraffe

Horse
(I found inspiration from A Morning Cup of Joe but made up my own pattern)

Toques/Hats:

 Granny Square-style toque 

 Viking Toque
(Found inspiration from Snorg Tees)


Brown Bear Toque

Have made dozens of these. These suckers are top sellers!



Odds and Ends:

 A tea cozy

  
 A baby photography prop - turtle


A sweater for my little niece

Each piece has its own story but for the most part they were experiments. A few of them were requests/commissions (the play food, for example) but have now made several of each with the exception of the pink sweater and the turtle prop. Crocheting things for profit has been a good way to earn a few extra pennies, I won't lie, but I still do it for the same reason - for a love of all the craft!

Until Next Time,
-Dee
