Little Miss Bunny

Just in time for spring, here she is! My design, I think I need to start writing my patterns.

Update, now she has a bow, and a beau.
And a carrot (but no carats...yet)

Toddler T-shirts





I've made a number of toddler t-shirts for Downtown Sol. The owner Marissa, was very encouraging to me about making a line of children's clothes. These have crocheted embellishments sewn onto them, I also did a jean jacket and a few jeans too. I don't have pictures of them all, but there are a number of of octopus applique's and hearts, cupcakes, sharks, kitties, a starfish and more.

Cupcake Purse

This one is entirely out of my own head. Hmm, must be my sweet tooth has abscessed into my brain...Anyway, it's a crocheted cupcake with a zipper sewn in, and a crocheted strap and glass beads sewn on.


White Peacock

My Mom's friend's granddaughter loves white peacocks, so I designed this one for her.

Stingray

I designed this one on request. I love watching the stingrays in the harbor, they move with a seemingly other-worldly grace.

Cupcakes!

 I made a couple cupcakes for my tea sets and I thought they came out so well I made a bunch for a local cupcake shop. Mom had the idea of making some key chains out of tiny cupcakes and I made a bunch of those too. I made up a cute box to put them all in and made a couple baby onesies with cupcakes on them too. The owner of the cupcake shop ended up only taking the key chains. I have the rest at Downtown Sol. The onesies have inspired a collection of baby items, so it is all good.

Pirate Shark

Arrgh, this shark has his own little pirate hat.


Tea Set

This is the second tea set I made, I was too busy getting things out for Christmas and the first set sold very fast so I never got to blog the first one. I improvised the entire set. I sewed this cute carrying cast which doubles as a tablecloth and has crocheted handles:
I made a teapot (with "tea" inside), four teacups and plates, two cupcakes, three cookies and a serving plate.





3 Foxes No pictures

I made three different crocheted foxes and apparently didn't take a picture of any of them. I made one entirely improvised and gave it to my sister. I made one from a pattern I bought online and it was the biggest and is at the Downtown Sol Gallery. Then I made one from a smaller pattern  in a book and still improvised a bunch on it, I gave it to my weight loss counselor. I think I like the one I gave my sister the best.  She did take a picture:
