Okay, here's Madelyn's elephant.

I decided to put a purple fuzzy fringe around the ears of Madelyn's elephant. I love how it looks! It just makes it so little girl stuffed animal. Besides, purple and grey just look awesome together. Here he is! (Notice, still a he even with purple ears. Hmm, I wonder what it is that turns all of my projects into boys in my head?)

Giraffe for Madelyn

Madelyn is 3! For her birthday her mom asked her if I could make a giraffe and an elephant. The elephant is the same as the fuzzy ele I made before. I may post pictures of it later if I decide to give it a little twist, but until then you all must settle for seeing the giraffe.

I found a pattern via Ravelry for a pretty cute giraffe, however, I have an aversion to following patterns and so I just started crocheting until I had something that looked similar. I really like how the little guy turned out. (For some reason I've noticed that everything I crochet is a boy to me. However, some of them end up being girls to the people I give them to, ie the Octopus who ended up being "Sally".) Anyhow, here he is!

Fingerless Gloves

These are for me! I don't make things for myself very often, but I found this yarn and decided I needed it to be a pair of fingerless gloves. I'm a fan of the yarn and may make myself something else out of it as well. I came up with the pattern for these and I like how they turned out. Andrea gave me the idea for the ribbed cuff, and I'm really glad I went with it. I'm glad to finally have something for me that I can enjoy for a bit. Maybe I'll work on pampering myself with some of my own projects more often.

Taking Orders!

Hey everyone. Christmas and Jenna's birthday have both passed, and I have time for orders again! I'm only going to take them a month in advance currently. I have room to take 3 to 4 orders right now (for February) depending on the size, and it's first come first serve deal!

Leave a comment with your e-mail address, or contact me on facebook, and I'll get back to you!

Thanks!

New Stuff!

I spent some Christmas money at Michael's yesterday, and this is what I walked out with! Two sets of double point needles (one metal and one bamboo so that I can pick a favorite), some point protectors to keep my projects from falling off the dpns, and a couple skeins of yarn. I know nothing about the yarn brand, but it was super soft and on sale so I bought it!

DS Cases

Those of you that have seen my bags that I carry around know that they are an absolute mess. The number of electronics that I take everywhere with me that are relatively the same size is ridiculous. I can never find what I want first grab, and that was starting to drive me crazy. So, I made my DS a case to make at least something easier to find. I got done with it, and then I had another idea so I made a second one. I really like them both. They could use some refining if I made them again, but I think that is true of every projects first go.
