The hair is Leaves I crochet around ten leaves and stitched them on to the head it is really hard to see the detailing in the photo but it looks really neat the leaves where first going to be her skirt a then out of know where I pined two to her head and decided to use it for her hair. She has no ears they are hiding lol so not sure what sort of animal she is :Z
bfoot
The feet have toes and I made lil green slippers that are removable!!


I also finished a lovely scarf
Its called Queen Ann's lace scarf
you can find the pattern here for free
queen anns lace scarf
It is going to one of my grandmothers for christmas and Im almost done the second one. It is in a deep purple ( the second one)
This one is in browns and has other colors mixed in the photo does not do justice.
Im also not that great at taking pics of scarfs lol
It is around 5 feet long so it will be able to wrap around your neck twice..

Well 44 days till the wedding i have revamped the flower girl baskets and the ringbearer pillow will take pictures later today and hopefully post tomorrow.. Im going to be finishing up the bouquets tonight :)

~Starting my christmas crocheting~

I decided to open up One of my Crochet pattern books ( I WILL SAY my FAVORITE one) and make some items out of it for christmas for the lil ones in my family..
Amigurumi Super Happy Crochet by Elizabeth Doherty.. If you have followed my blog in the past i have mentioned this book times.. I made the piglet for my best friends lil boys first birthday. I made Strawbeary for fun.

One of the main reasons I got the book was for The Friends Forever Fawn..
I have been wanting to make it sense I got the book but just never got around to it..

So well I was pondering on what to make or what to get for my lil Sister Sienna who is 4 yrs old i decided the best gift would be hand made.. I planned and still plan on making her a berry hat like I made kiera but I also wanted to make her a toy.. She is the proud owner of my Second Ruthy doll I named Missy, ( that she got as part of her birthday present, and also last christmas I made her a fab lil purse with her name (I know I spoil the kids in my family)) She Loves all my creations so I decided that this lil fawn would be great for her, and that she would give it so much love

SO with a lil love and some work I finished this great lil fawn in three days ( Seriously a record for me)

I just love the way it turned out and I think I better put her in a box and wrap her up before i decide to keep her for my self..

So I got 1 gift done and many to go ..

Im working on the Punk Bunny out of the same book for my son For Christmas he is right into the Tech Decks and thought that the punk bunny out of the book would suit the skateboards :) I got the arms, the muzzle and the eye patches done working on the ears now and hopefully will finish them tonight and get the body Started ...
