Finally! My sewing lessons w my mother-in-law have resulted in this oh-so-girly crochet case. I love knowing where each hook is right away rather than hunting for it.

I end up using an egg pattern, and modified it to suit what I think Eva should look like. Yes, I finished it in one day!

Sleepy Heuie

October 21, 2008 at 5:33 am (Crochet, by Cecelia)

Tangerine Mist from Vanna White’s yarn collection mimics the random fur of an orange cat. The yarn is also very easy to work with and puffs up aftewards to fill in gaps so filler doesn’t show. Too bad Michael’s sold out before Halloween.

Frog Puppet

October 14, 2008 at 9:54 pm (Crochet, by Cecelia)

My nephew couldn’t wait for me to finish the frog’s mouth before playing and hopping around with the puppet. Hard to tell who had the more fun – him playing or me watching.

The side-by-side photo shows the difference between a 3 and 4 mm hook. The pattern and yarn is the same. Since I don’t need to stuff this, I think a 4 mm hook is better as it makes the puppet slightly more flexible because the stitches are not as tight.

The pattern can be found on a Japanese website:

Quilled Koi

October 10, 2008 at 3:08 pm (by Cecelia, quilling)

My condolence card to a friend who recently lost his father. An appreciation for koi was passed from father to son.

I like the illusion the koi is swimming beneath the lily pads.
