New stuff that I made...

So this is the monkey I made for a Crochet Along at Crochetville....I have been eyeing the pattern for a while now and the CAL was the perfect opportunity to make it.
The pattern is a free one http://quesera.ojaru.jp/osaru-pattern.html
I hope I've inspired others to make one too.

Oooops I just noticed I forgot to make a tail for him....I'll get right on that....how did I forget that??? Oh my!

The doily is the one I was testing for Kathy White from Crochetville....I love the way it turned out, and the colors are perfect in my livingroom...I love the burgundy!!

The bunny hat is a baby size hat that I made for Mason (step-grandson) He'll be wearing it at Easter and will be too cute for sure...I'll have to take many pictures of him wearing it.
The hat was also a pattern I was testing.

Happy Groundhog Day!!!

Don't you just love this groundhog...LOL
I think he's great.










Here's a couple more items I've made in the last little while....the doily is not from a free pattern so I don't have a link for you. It's from a House of White Britches leaflet. I pressed it lightly so that I could take a picture of it, but I have to press and starch it much better before I actually put it out on display.



















The little purse is from http://www.crochetnmore.com/heartpurse.htm and I made it as a purse/tote challenge on one of my crochet groups. The object of the challenge is that a purse or tote is picked as the challenge. The first person to make the purse and post a picture of the finished item gets to pick the next challenge for the group. When this purse was posted I got right to it and finished it in 2 evenings.

A couple more FO's

I finished a couple more items from my groups Crochet Alongs. The links are posted below with the pictures. I have 2 mystery patterns on the go and until the weeks are posted I can't continue so they will be done in another week or 2. They are both thread items.
I'm still working on the Retro Bag. That doesn't have to be done until April so I will work on the other things in between.
It's almost February and Valentines Day is coming quick. I have made another heart doily but I still have to iron and starch it and weave in the loose ends. I'll post it when I'm done with that!!
I didn't do much Crochet during December but is seems that I'm making up for it now...OK, off I go to get something done.

My first post of the New Year

Hi and Happy New Year 2007...how quickly the years are passing.

Max got a new ball for Christmas...he still doesn't let it out of his sight
















Crystal got a hoodie outfit, she is so cute wearing it!

I didn't crocheting much through the holidays but I have just finished these 2 items and thought I'd post the pictures...

The doily is for a Crochet Exchange, I'll be mailing it out to my exchange partner next week. The pattern is a free one here http://www.crochetmemories.com/archive/february5.html

This square is from a Crochet Along that one of my Crochet groups is doing....we will have made 12 different squares by the end of the year. The pattern for this square is free http://www.heartmadeblessings.org/patterns/4-Crosses.asp
