A pretty crochet soap saver

I loved making this pretty, practical soap saver.

At one point soap was hard to come by so 

it seemed sensible to make something that 

would allow me not to waste it.

So I searched Ravelry 

and found this free pattern

from the very kind and talented designer

Roseanna Murray.

If you want to make one for yourself

just search for leaf soap saver 

A doll called Sophie

A doll named Sophie


 I loved making this doll!
I made it for Ava when she was 1 1/2 years old.
She took one look at her, took off her headband
then tossed her aside. Lol!
A couple of months later she spotted her again
and held on to her as if she was 
her best friend.
 
The designer is the talented  nina.hookscreations.
You can find her pattern on Ravelry

Forest Animal Blanket

 This was definitely a labour of love 
and a lot more work than I thought it would be.
I made it for my sweet Elijah.

Shika the mythical deer bird crochet

Shika the mythical deer bird

This is definitely my favourite project so far!
I call her Shika which means gentle deer.
I made her from a wonderful book called
Unicorns, Dragons and more Fantasy Amigurumi
by Ilaria Caliri

Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies


Crochet snail and bee

I absolutely loved making this little honey bee
and the wee snail.
The bee is actually made of three parts.
The larvae stage with her hat
and her honey bee wings and body
which she can slide on when she wants to fly.

Crochet Honey Bee and Larvae

The snail pattern was from the wonderful book
 by Lydia Tresselt called
Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies.
She also sells individual patterns which 
includes the bee.

I can't wait to make some butterflies
and catterpillars.

This tiny manatee measures 4 inches long.
I wanted it to be little since it is for
a wee little girl whose daddy loves manatees.
I made this from a great free pattern
