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

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

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.

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.

a little crochet manatee for a little girl

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
here on Ravelry 

a mint and grey crochet baby blanket

This cute baby blanket is for my first grandbaby.
The ridges are formed from working single crochets
into the back loop
.
 It is made from a

 free pattern from the wonderful site daisyfarm crafts.

She has some wonderful patterns on her site

and generously shares a lot of them for free.
