Strawberry Glazed donuts
Bought new yarn, needed to test it out. Lost my original pattern/recipe (and I was too lazy to look harder for it) so I just winged up some new glazes. Inspired by many crochet donuts I’ve seen.
White Totoro
Wish I could have used the plastic eyes on this small Totoro, but it wouldn’t be a good idea since he’s being given to soon-to-be 1 year old nephew Marcus.
It was made with cotton yarn, so yielded a stiffer weave. I think it’ll be great for puppets.
Thank you for the pattern generously supplied by Heavens Hellcat
Moto KRZR sock
Ok, ok, I’ve really done it now. I’ve lost my mind. I crocheted a sock for my new MotoKRZR cell phone. The cell phone is just so damn new and shiny and of course, I could not justify paying for a case if I could make one.
Unicorn in progress
I’m forced to shave her lovely mane and tail, because she’ll only go bald eventually. This fluffy peach yarn comes undone faster than an open bag of filler in front of a fan. Oh well, I need to use up some accidentally purchased sport weight pink yarn.
I also think the back legs have to be moved more to the back, so her head can come up rather than always looking like she’s going for a drink of water.
Quilts made with love
My mother-in-law is the most giving person around! Her name is Mary. She has made over sixty quilts in just the past three years. It is her passion, her love, her addiction. One summer, she made twenty quilts and gave most away to family and donated some to the long-term care hospitals.
Mary’s style is hand-stitching. She prefers this to machine stitching. In my opinion, this has a much more hand-craft look and warmer than machine, and takes much more patience!
These two quilts she made for my friends. The small lap quilt is an asian influenced design from a pattern. My friend Angela picked out the colour scheme. The large double-size quilt is made of fabric remnants given to her from Shani (who the quilt is made for as a surprise gift).
