This is the new puppy. Kind of a blurry picture but it's okay. I think I'll call him "Steve"!

Here's then new Cavalier King Charles Amigurumi Puppy... it's a boy and he is tri-colored. I changed up the ears and tail and did my own idea for the eyes again. I think he turned out well. 

I found an amazing pattern for Cavalier King Charles Amigurumi Puppies on Beth Webber's blog "By Hook, By Hand". http://byhookbyhand.blogspot.com/2009/07/one-of-things-ive-really-wanted-to-do.html

Cavalier King Charles Puppy

I've made one: 


And I've started another that is Tri-color. I've changed the original pattern in order to embroider the eyes rather than use safety eyes. On the Tri-color I also added some length and extra loops to the ears. I think it will be cute. I'll post a picture when it's finished.

A short time ago I sent a Beardy/Beanie to our local Newscaster, Curtis Smith, as a fun gift. Curtis, every year, does a contest where he grows a beard and people try to guess when the temperature will make it to 70 degrees outside. Last night on the news cast Curtis had his co-anchor wear the beardy/beanie!!

And he posted it on his Facebook page as well!!

Here's the photo:

I've been so busy with the Tax Season that I haven't had a chance to post! In my spare time, however, I've been working on a pair of "Ogre Feet"!

If I get any sales I might just add some other things. 


(I'm a nervous wreck!)

Keeping warm in the Midwest!

I've been working on a new design that I call the "Indiana Lai":

Indiana Lai

The "Indiana Lai" is for us Mid-Westerners to use on those cold days when a simple scarf just won't do! This design uses only one skein of Red Heart multi-colored yarn and uses the "Crocodile" stitch. People who have seen them always compliment me on how pretty they are.

I got back to work tomorrow but I warned my new Office Manager that I will probably be crocheting on my down time. LMAO! She let me know that she will probably be asking me to make some stuff for her kids and I told her to "just make me a list!"

Pink Sneaker/Slippers

I finally got a chance to make a pair of Pink Sneaker/Slippers for myself. They are so warm and cozy and so cute in pink!
