So I also got terrible spoiled my hunny bought me some pjs and a beutifull coat (if I could figure out how to add pics with me phone that would be great) and he also got me a amazing betty bop quilt lol I have been wanting one sence I seen it this summer ;).

2 more... xmas gifts...

Got the third Amigurumi christmas present done

Meet the lil Fairy Ballerina that will be nameless until christmas

and also has not yet earned her wings

I sorta used the Punky bunny pattern for reference but chaged alot of things in the pattern.. The sizing is a bit different. The bunny and fawn are allready wrapped so I couldn't get a show of the three 2gether :)

AINT SHE A CUTIE

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

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

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 :)

~hApPy CrAfTiNg~

~Punk Bunny~

I finished this a couple days ago but sence he is for my son for christmas I have been having problems trying to get this bunnies photos done.. I ended up doing them in my room so Im not completely happy with the photos but they will work.

I made him a lil back pack that ethan could put lil trinket in.. I never did do the skull on the shirt.. I think it looks just fine without it. I Just love the way it turned out and am sure he will love it just as much

So two Handmade presents done :)

Got the kids xmas shopping done yesterday and finished sheldon up today.. Ordered stuff through Sears for sheldon and 1 thing will be here by dec 5 and the big thing will be here on the 15 :)

~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 ...

72 days till the wedding bells will be ringing

WOW..

72 days till are wedding.. Im excited nervous and not sure what else..

We got most stuff done just got get the licenses for everything and thats about it..

I have been bad and haven't made anything.. I have tried to make a couple different things and frogged it all.. BUT Im going to start working on christmas presents..

I have been terrible busy, WIth ethan in school it seems like Im go go go..

We go Public skating every monday night then on thursdays is skating at school so I go there to help tie skates etc.. ITs been alot of fun and both kids are learning to skate.. Ethan's first go was last thursday and he did awsome on monday he even skated by himself with no help..

Kiera on the other hand had her first day monday and did not enjoy it as much IM really hopin that tomorrow she will wont to give it another go.

BUt I thought i would give a quick update and hopefully in the next couple days I will get some stuff done my crafting to-do pile is getting rather large lol

Sick :(

Well sorry for not updating nothing again..

We are all sick here getting better though ethan was out of school all last week he is 100% and Kiera is just about there as for me if I have one more coughing fit im seriously going to die!!!!

ON the mend will hopefully be better soon :)

Some more fruity hats!!!

Both my kiddos are sick this week.. After I finshed Kieras hat Ethan really wanted me to make him a pumpkin hat. SO i made a hat just for him. He told me what to do and I crochet it...

SO Here is MY sons Custom one of a kind Jack - o- lantern hat...

I my self wouldn't have added the face or did the face a lil different.. But Ethan loves it.. Its his Halloween hat :) In the pic you can tell he still isn't feeling the greatest Both my kiddos have eye infections and a touch of pnemonia. :(

The JACK_O_LANTERN HAT...

So I also made another Baby Hat.. For my SIL newest addition. ( another baby blanket i only got half done :( But im just loving the hat..

I decided to fight with the barb wire and well it won.. I had a huge Blister on the Palm of my hand from the hammer and terrible gouges all over my arms from the stupid barbs.

But I though sence i havent got any FINISHED of item's in crochet I could show you MY lovely flowers that I have worked so hard on ..

These are my PAnsies you see i have never bought these ones I just found them aroud 4 years ago in the middle of the lawn at the old house i lived at and transplanted them. I got lucky this Spring sense the house we use to live in has no one in it i went there and dug up my beloved lil pansies.. ( I think they like the new place)
