Time for some pink

Sometimes pink catches my eye and I think, "I love pink". This was one of those weekends. So it times for a hippo...with tennis shoes. Hope you like her.

Simply Cute Hippo Crochet Pattern

Sitting in the sun and getting something done

Today was the perfect day to sit on the deck and create and get something done.

Sometimes things work out just the way you imagined

You've probably heard the saying, "inspiration is all around us", well this
 is definitely true, I get ideas about what I'd like to make and how I'd like the finished product to look all the time.

Problem is sometimes those ideas just don't work out and the finished product just isn't what I imagined at all. There seems to be a lot of those days, and I know to get it right, there are times we have to...try, try, again.

Yippee, today wasn't one of those days for me. I smiled when I look at my new Koala Bear's face and love the way his personality turned out. Maybe he'll make you smile too.

New Pattern, "Anticipation" Sweet Mama Waits

This sweet pattern is definitely called, "Anticipation". Look at her waiting for her egg to hatch. 

I know some of you are wondering...what took her so long to make a bird. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a bit of a bird freak. I love them, I know who doesn't these days, but I've loved them for a while now and still can't help picking up every little bird nick knack, do dad and picture I see.  

Well, here she is, I hope she's loved. 

Did you guess...a fox?

All finished and ready to meet you. "Simply Sweet Fox" is the fourth pattern in this series. He's about 11 inches tall and full of personality. Created with medium worsted weight yarn, a G hook and some basic crochet stitches (sc, hdc, dc, tc and crocheting in the round).

Can you guess?

Can you guess what type of animal will be my next pattern? His head definitely gave me a bit of a challenge, but he seems to be cooperating now and after another test, you should be meeting this sweet......oops almost told you. Anyway you should be seeing a new pattern soon.
