Lots Of Crochet Hearts and Flowers

Hello,

I forgot to share these.  I made these for Katie at Katie sew 4 Fun.   These crochet hearts and crochet flowers added nice finished to the doll clothes.

100 hearts, crochet heart pattern here.  The pattern had three rounds but I did mine only 2 rounds.

140 crochet flowers

It was a lot of hearts and flowers to crochet so I set a goal by making 10 hearts and 10 flowers a day.  I took my crochet thread and needle everywhere with me.  One time I was sitting in the traffic for 2 hours; it's normally take only 20 minutes.  Victor was driving so I took out the thread and needle and started to crochet. I met my goal that day.

Happy crocheting!

Cloud Thank You Card

Hello,

I saw this card at local AC Moore.  And thought how pretty is that?  I also needed a thank you card so it just perfect.

Faye made the next card for Katie. I gave her all the supplies to make this card.  She quilled the flower and glue everything to make this card.  Not bad for a 5 year old.

That's all for today.

Some Sandals For The American Girl Dolls

Hello,

Last week I shared a pair of shoe for the AG doll.  After making that pair, I felt comfortable making more shoes so today I'll share some sandals that I made last week.

 I made each sandal to match the dress that Katie sent.

And speaking of Katie, she sent another package last week for Faye.  This time Katie double the dresses so Faye can share with her friends.  Thank you so much Katie!  It is like Christmas in July for these girls.  Check out Katie Sews 4 Fun  blog where she shared all the doll clothes that she made. 

Check out this youtube video for doll shoe tutorial.

Have a marvelous Monday!

Pink Crochet Willow Block Afghan

Hello,

When I first saw the crochet willow block, it is just like love at first sight, lol.  I wanted to crochet the block so badly.  I searched the web for the pattern but I couldn't fine any. However, I found a few good shots of the crochet block and gave it a try. I got it or it  looks very similar to the crochet willow block that I like.

So when I went to FL last month, Walmart down there had some yarns on clearance.  You know me, I got some yarns and started to make this afghan. 

I finished all the squares while in FL.  At first I just wanted to make a small baby blanket but when I finished the first skein the blanket was too small so I got the second skein and made a bigger blanket. I used Caron Baby yarn. 

 I finished the edging when I got back home.

 I mentioned earlier that I love this crochet block and I wanted to make it even better so I changed the center pattern.  I always like flower in the center of crochet block.  I saw the tutorial here for adding the green round to make the block solid.

I like this new willow block too.  What do you think? 

Have a wonderful weekend!
