Teal Crocheted Accent Pillow, 14"

I  just recently finished a crochet project which took me 6 months to complete.  It's a wedding gift, for a September wedding, so I won't be posting about this project for a few more months.  So, last week I was off  to my crochet group, and I didn't have a project. So, I just grabbed different yarns of different sizes, and some crochet patterns, and off I went.  I ended up working on something different, but which led me to decide to crochet my first accent pillow.  Thankfully, I could save some money as I already had a pillow form at home!

I love working with this color by Caron Simply Soft.  It's so beautiful.  I just repeated two rows of pattern over and over, but I think it's very pretty.

One Tiny 4" Monster Hoopla

I recently made this "sweet" gal for my partner in the One Tiny Monster Hoopla swap on Craftster.  While I do embroidery, I wanted to go 3-D with this swap.  I crocheted the eye, and added some glitter to it.  I added the "the sock monster strikes again" (saying I found while searching online for ideas) , on the "clothesline" and added those cool colored clothespins. I knew it wouldn't be complete unless I added some socks.  I decided to crochet them (grey's wool and the maroon is acrylic). I love the yarn around the hoop for hair and the ribbon on the outside of the hoop. All in all, it reminds me a bit of Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc. I love how she turned out, and I'm thrilled my partner loves her  too.

Christmas in July bag

I have become obsessed  with making bags. I made this one with some fabric I found at a yard sale.

Shadow Photography

My 7-year old daughter came up with a great idea to photograph our shadows today on our walk. Here's a cute one with me and my kiddos.

Embroidered Animal Skulls

I am working on an animal skull quilt for my skull fascinated 5 year old son.  I decided  the easiest way (not fastest) to get the skull part was to embroider it. So, I found drawn images of several different animal skulls online, traced out the main lines to outline, and then stitched up this bald eagle in about 3 hours  to do.

My outside kitty cat, Zazzles

If you follow me, or my blog, you've probably guessed that I am obsessed with Big Bang Theory. So, when this adorable stray kitty showed up at my house, I had to keep her. Outside. Because hubby won't let me bring her inside. But, she's so stinking cute. So, we named her Zazzles. Obviously. Because that's what Sheldon would do.
