Blossom The Flower Child

Meet Blossom, She just loves the out doors, From Planting flowers to doing all her garden work. With all these Bright colors she is all about Spring and Summer.

Blossom Is wearing a cute lil sun dress with a heart button on the bottom and 4 cute lil colored buttons on the top.
Her raggy looking hat keeps that hot sun off her head as she pulls the weeds out of her flower beds and her scarf is well she just loves the way it matches her hat.



Blossom Is up for grabs in the shop.
I just love the way she turned out i know i say that for every doll but with each doll I get better and better and this one i'm just so proud of that I can't believe I put her up for sale.
I actually broke my sewwing machiine o ut of jail for this Gloomy and to tell you the truth an out fit sewn with a machine is just much cleaner looking than a hand stitched one dont you think?

I bought those cute lil button that are one her dress at Micheals and i think it really adds to the detailing of the Gloomy.

SO one project is finished and im so thrilled about it. Now to finish my 1 sock and the Afghan, and of course get my sisters stuff started. I did remake a dress for one of the lil gloomys and will be adding it either tomorrow or monday in to my shop. Remeber Milly? Well I redid her clothes:)

Well that is all istill havent finished my dishes that is just one never ending job so i really should get off here and maybe do some house work lol

Not much getting finished here

Well I haven't worked on my Afghan at all :( and I have not finished a single project. I ended up getting the flu bug and was laid up for a couple days, so sick all I could do is just sleep and whine lol
I now have Three projects on the go, including the Afghan! I also have so many things I want to do and have to do lol. BUT I better finish all these things before I start another or i will be getting myself over whelmed.
Looking at the calender I don't think i will be able to accomplish my own Challenge of finishing my Afghan by the end of April :( so I will have to give myself a new date and It shall be ........
I will have to look at the calender more. Next month is going to be alil busy. Both my kids are in soccor and mys ister is graduating next month:)

So lets start with the Gloomy Sense she will Probley be finished sooner than the rest.

She is not named yet !
She is the first ever Bright Gloomy lol Her Eyelids are magenta not black, She also is wearing a slouchy raggy looking hat :) I have one leg done so I just need to make another leg and dress her. OOoooo and name her. I bought some really cute fabric to out fit this girl with and am excited for her to be finished the yellow and the pink I used in this doll is a different yarn than i usually use and its 1/2 Wool and 1/2 Acrylic, it has a fuzzier texture to it and the stuff i used for her hat and scarf is really unusual I bought it at a yarn store and need to search for the wrapper so I can tell ya all exactly what it is called I will say though it is terrible hard to work with i had to us a K hook.

I will add more details on this gal once I have her finished!!

So lately I have been trying to get my crochet skills up there Learning newer techniques stitches etc, SOoo I found some sock yarn in Zellers and decided I shall try to build a Sock .. YEs you read that right A sock. I would say a pair but once I finish this one sock I will maybe make another by next year lmao

So theres my Sock I'm using Pink Camo its turning out pretty cool but boy oh boy is it taking awhile.
The sock Pattern is called ribbon`s and Bows I'm thinking I picked a two complicated pattern for my first try at socks but I really wanted to learn how to do the cable cross stitch

NOw woooo hoo I acomplished something today I updated my blog ppls on my self.

So hopefully next time I will have some finished items to show you all. Im still feeling under the weather so I have been taking it easy .

My sister bought me Yarn to make her

* 3 more dishcloth's

*and a slouchy hat

So I would like to get those done for her soon aswell Due to she bought the yarn/cotton for me to make them for her`:)

So I shall be done with rambling do my dishes up quick and get my Hooker moving lol

A bunch of new stuff :)

I made 4 slouchy hats:) these two the one pictured above and below are from the pattern called pretty puff slouchy hat that can be found here. Above model is me :P lol and below is my daughter kiera!!



I made two others but gave one away before I took photos of it and the other I made for myself and forgot at a friends house durring the weekend lol

and...

I'm trying to finish an afghan lol

I started this one on Saturday and do plan on finishing it this is my forth try at making an afghan so my hope is to actually finish it. The Pattern im following for this one is called the Blooming Blankie it is or was in the crochet today magazine:) Im challenging myself to have it done by the end of april! I just love the colors and am actually really excited about this one so I don't think it will go in to the closet with the other three that are sitting there unfinished.

so that all seems like alot of crochet but people I make amigurumi`s not blankets lol so to give myself a break from the blanket and well I was searching lovely patterns online i came across this etsy store called berriiiz!
and just feel in love with her dolls but what one thing i just loved was the hair :) and I just needed to know how she did it so I bought the pattern. she had a deal going on so I ended up buying three patterns lol. I bought the patterns for Sugar, Candy and Gloria:)
Well i got the patterns really fast and of course then printed all three out, had them sitting here and just had to start one.



oook i never followed the pattern all the way through I changed alot of stuff. ( i really need to sit down and actually follow a pattern through seriously.

When I was making this doll Kiera ( my daughter) just loved here even when all i had was a head with hair and eyes on it! I was planning on making it for my lil sister who's birthday is in June and told kiera this but when i finished this lil doll Kiera named her lucy-ella and the look in here eys just told me how much my own lil girl wanted to keep this lil lucy-ella.

soooo

She got her lucy-ella!!!! she has practically been hugging her ever sence and they even had a tea party before bed :)

So there is my update and all my works.

Need to run and start working on the is afghan lol

Meet Rose.. (The Gloomy Bunny)
See I wasnt to sure about the albino eyes but after taking gloomy Rose out for a photo shoot. I started to love her a bit more and her wierd eyes.


A lil pi of behind! Her lil bum:) I love the pom pom tail:) In this photo she is wearinga scarf I ended up taking it off and adding a bow instead on her head felt the scarf just didnt do no good for her. ( it was cramping her style lmao)


so once she got that lovely bow she just had to come with me to pick up ethan from the bus but Miss Gloomy Got stuck high up in a tree when I wasn't looking!! I will say she wasnt to happy about that but ooo Well


Once she warmed her self by the fire she decided to look over the bunny pattern you know just to make sure I didnt mess up any where. She looked it over and found no faults now she is grumbling at me about getting it wrote up she cant wait to see other bunnies.. ( even though she has two bunnies here she just thinks she is better than them)

So for who ever might be interested in this bunny pattern I hope to have it wrote up soon. I will include the gloomy version and the not Gloomy version. There is so many things i can add to these bunnies or that you can your self. If I do make another I probley will add some clothes :) But that will have to wait im about bunnied out for a lil bit.

Im working on some baby booties right now I just found out last week that my SIL is Pregnant with number two She is due in October, so I plan on getting some baby stuff made or more like try some haha. I have finished one bootie ( the same color as rose's boots) but it never turned out just quite right. Im going to making the matching one then try again!!

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 ...

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..

So here is a baby grape hat or what us canadians call a baby toque:)

Last night we had to run ethan in to emergency his eyes where really ready and ozzing i thought he had pink eye.. HE hasn't been feeling the greatest for awile now and has been coughing.. Sheldon took him in lastnight to find out he has touch of pnemonia. So my lil guy isn't the greatest he has been laying on the couch and not doing to much.

So we have a couple new babies in the family I think I talked about before that I was making baby blankets for them well i never did finish them lmao opps So sense I really didn't feel like making them or finishing them I should say I thought lil hats would be cute sense it is getting cold here and the winter is coming..
