I enjoying making crochet Christmas gifts, so I was excited when my son asked for a crochet kitty for Christmas. I asked him to help me pick a yarn for it, and he chose Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick Toasted Almond. So once I had the yarn, I had to find a pattern. I chose the Mini Charli Cat pattern by Mama Made Designs. The pattern worked up pretty fast!

One of my goals for this year has been to actually make projects from the patterns in the many crochet books I own. So I finally got around to making a scarf from the Amigurumi Animal Scarves book. This book has so many cute patterns, and I decided to start with the Lizzy the Lamb Scarf. I've had some Bernat Pipsqueak yarn in my stash for a while, and I've really been wanting to use it. 

I don't crochet amigurumi projects often, but I was asked by a friend to make a bee. So I did! I searched for a crochet bee pattern on Pinterest, and I found the TikTok Bee pattern. This pattern is awesome because there's also a video. I've been working on using up my many skeins of yarn for a while now, and this project finished off a skein of yellow yarn. Yay! 

This is my last finished project of 2020, and it is a crochet Dumpster Fire designed by my favorite crochet designer, Twinkie Chan. 2020 was a dumpster fire of a year. However, As an introvert, I love staying home and crocheting, so that part wasn't hard for me. Yarn is one of the few things that will motivate me to leave my house!  but there are so many aspects of 2020 that make it such a crazy year. I hope 2021 is better, but I know the issues from 2020 aren't going to magically disappear when the clock strikes midnight on january 1st. So happy New Year and good luck to you all!

Welcome to the February Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. In case you're new to the blog, the purpose of the Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month's challenge is about Spring Crafts/DIY Projects, so I chose to create a Crochet Cactus Gnome to add to my Spring themed tiered tray. To create my little gnome friend, I searched Pinterest and found a pin for the Crochet Nordic Gnome. This gnome pattern was quick and easy to make. There's even a video!

A couple days ago I was browsing through Instagram, and I saw a cute new creation by @3amgracedesigns. It was a Unicorn Cake Kawaii Cuddler, and I knew I wanted to make one for my daughter. I decided that this would be the perfect Crafty Destash Challenge project, so I searched through all my yarn for the perfect colors for this project. My daughter has a Wonder Woman themed room, so I decided to go with those colors (red, blue, yellow/gold, and white). 

Welcome to the January Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month, I'm sharing a crochet Wonder Woman Tooth Fairy Pillow I made for my daughter. I was inspired by a Crochet Tooth Fairy Pillow I found on Pinterest.
