Canada Day 2010

Hi All.

Have a great Canada Day to my countrymen and a great Independence Day to my friends in the USA!

I know I've been remiss in posting but hopefully I will put my drought behind me and have much to say and post in the future.

Today Canada Day Rob and I went to the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

We saw many things but Crochet and Knitting are uppermost in my interests. Imagine my surprise when we saw one of the actual scarves that Queen Victoria crocheted as awards to soldiers in the South African war.

There was also a Camouflage exibit...there was a dress from Project Runway...I'm not sure what season as I don't watch the show. The dress was the one that won that weeks challenge. It was made with a camouflage fabric. Very chic. The pink camo pumps where also a highlight for me. Although I couldn't wear such a shoe I loved it!

I've been crocheting...I'll post some of what I've made in another post.

Good Morning

Good Morning.
I haven't posted anything new in awhile and I haven't been crocheting for the last while either. I haven't been in the mood for it...sort of in a slump...
First off are a couple of Halloween items I made.
The ghosts are a tested item made by Alisha of Fuzzy Feet Boutique her Etsy site is HERE
The Pumpkin sweater for Crystal is something I thought she really needed ;)
I always use the same pattern and embellish differently. That pattern is HERE

The snowman is also an Alisha design that I tested.

The bear ice cream cones are from a Thai pattern that I sort of copied as I can't read Thai...They turned out pretty good for sort of guessing as I went.

Vampire time!

I was a tester on this cute guy...His cape is purple but doesn't show up very well in the picture.
Click on the picture and a large size picture will open...I think you can see the color better that way.
The pattern is available at FuzzyFeetBoutique
I've been told a Frankenstein is in the making...after I get to test it I'll add the picture here.

Newest Doll

As you may have noticed, I have a soft spot for making dolls.

This is a pattern of a gorgeous doll that I stumbled upon...and am I ever glad I did.

The pattern for her and many items of clothing are free @

There is also a Flickr site that has many of the designers finished dolls and clothing.

This is my first attempt at this adorable doll.

I changed her hair a bit...I wasn't happy with it.

July 1st & 4th doll

I made this interchangeable doll for a design challenge. The challenge was to make an item for either Canada Day or Independence Day. I made one doll that is for both!

As promised...

I said I would post pictures of all of my newest items I've made.

There are quite a few so I hope you don't get bored looking at them :P

First is a Linguine Doll...pattern is free on Craftster.


I was a tester for this French Bulldog...so cute!
Pattern is for sale at Fuzzy Feet Boutique on Etsy.


This is also a Fuzzy Feet Boutique horse that I tested.

This I tested and is a Tater with cheese and butter topping. From Fuzzy Feet Boutique

The next 2 are Elf Babies. I tested them for Fuzzy Feet Boutique.

Panda Bear with Bamboo...I tested for Fuzzy Feet Boutique.

This is a Penguin that I tested for Stormyz also from Etsy.

This is the Starling Handbag. It's a free pattern and there is also a Flickr group site HERE

This pattern was of a USA Independence day kitty. I made it my Canada Day kitty.

Thanks for looking.

As you can see I'm very lucky to be a tester for Alisha from
Fuzzy Feet Boutique and for Diane from Stormyz
