Meet Mel's Noro Birthday Monkey! I crocheted it up special just for her. I gave it to her today, she loved him!! He was pretty easy to make. Basically it is just crocheting up a tube and stuffing it. Then adding the nose, which is like crocheting the toe of a sock. Little round ears, and skinny arms and legs. I put pipe cleaners in the arms and gets so she could pose him.
Isn't he cute?
On facebook I am participating in a pay-it-forward project. The first five people to post a comment to mine would get a handmade "something" from me, then they must do the same thing. This is my first pay it forward project. A pair of baby booties and hat out or Ty-Dye. I used the
Easy Baby Booties pattern I found on Ravelry. They work up so quick. I added the little rose to the hat.
I think they will be happy with it. With a new baby on the way, and all their excitement of their new little baby girl coming, I couldn't resist. So, one down, four pay it forwards to go!
I am in rooster production again! Check out this mack daddy rooster! I like him, he has a little extra bling.
My button box is full of all kinds of trinkets, as you can see. This guy has a key, and when you flip him over to the other side.....
Can you guess what that is?? It's a garter that was on an old girdle. It was in my mom's button box. I can't imagine wearing one. I remember her wearing them. LOL! Boy, times have changed!
My last trip to Hobby Lobby I picked up these H and G hooks. OMG!! I love using them. If you haven't tried them, I would encourage you to. I doubt I will go back to my old hooks with these in my took kit.
I also saw this free pattern, and couldn't resist. Isn't it pretty!! It's on my to do list. I may have to move it up towards the top of the list. LOL!
Well, that's about it for now. I am working on a belt for me...and want to get it finished up, and get some more roosters done for my etsy shop.
I wish everyone a great week...Happy Crocheting!
