Monkey Ear Hat pattern by The Crafty Tortoise

I found this wonderful pattern a while ago,and decided to make a monkey hat of my own for my little monkey.. sadly it did not fit! after a second attempt I finally did get it right though! enjoy! 2 friends have now asked me to make monkey hats for their little girls!






Here is the new hat, and this time costume made! my little one wanted it in Pink!

Banana Mobile, Ninja Turtle Hat, Cupcake and CatBed ;)

I made this special baby mobile for two dear friends of ours who just had a baby boy, did you guess that the theme of the baby's room it's a Jungle? I hope they like it, you can find the free pattern on how to make this wonderful banana guy at Amigurumi Paradise ;) I love her patterns!





The Ninja Turtle hat is for one of my bestfriend's little boy, it's going to be a very very late birthday present or now an early Christmas present ;) I need to fix the eyes first though... I bought this pattern from Beach Bunny Designs. Here is my 5 year old modeling the hat for my friend's little boy.



Finally a cupcake, pattern by Ana Paoli, for one of my son's friend who just had a birthday party which we could not go to because we were all sick! * cries *



And this kitty bed is a pattern found on a book on how to make little containers, I just made a jumbo size of it to make my 17 1/2 year old PooToo a cozy kitty bed.

Amigurumi Mermaid Finished!

These patterns are by the very talented Ana Paoli

I finished the second mermaid that I was working on, this one is for one of my best friends' little girl who lives in Quebec, Canada.


Here are the two mermaids finished.



Finally here are some photos of my 3 and 5 year old wearing their new Halloween costumes ( these are for next year ) I just got them for less than 5 dollars each.

New Amigurumi Mermaid - pattern by AnaPaoli

I finished a new little mermaid for one of my good friend's little girl, who just happens to be one of my daughter's best friend. On Saturday we are going to her third birthday ;) this mermaid has been very costume made for her, she asked for the purple tail and purple hair. Think she will like it?


I also fixed Danielita's dollie for her, the neck wasn't holding the head up, so I had to re open the dollie and add a wooden ' spine', and that did the trick.




Then you can see the next mermaid in line, it's for one of my best friend's little girl who lives in Quebec, this will be a very late birthday present I am afraid.
I am really getting a lot out of this pattern ;0) love it!





On another note, this is the latest stray that I picked up, I found her wondering on a busy street, I almost hit her with our van, I have been calling vet clinics and shelters and every number that I can think of for a week trying to find her owner. So far no luck.. isn't she a doll? Mean while my husband is ready to divorce me over my latest rescue project, I had promised him that the last stray was the last one..

Crochet Pumpkin Hat

I made this hat for my friend's little girl but her outfit already came with one, never the less my little man got to wear it for this photo ;) he looked so cute.
You can find the free pattern to make this cute hat here.

Amigurumi Sun and Rain Mobile

The sun is for a future mobile for a dear friend who just had her first baby boy, and the rain mobile was donated to my daughter's preschool, where they sing a lot of ' Rainny ' songs.. ;) I thought they could use this to sign along to ' Rain Rain go away ' ;) This pattern is by Amy Gaines, I purchased it on etsy

My latest creations - Baby Hats

This weekend one of my dearest friend finally had her baby girl ;) they named her Kara! ooh how we have all been waiting for this precious munchkin.. She was a week late!!!!! In my anxiety to finally meet her I kept busy by making her these three hats:
By friday I knew that it was a girl, so I had to make a few changes to the blue one.. just a pink flower to make it more girly ;)








I made this special purple hat for my little princess, after all we share this in common, Purple is my favourite color too ;)

New Crochet Mermaids - Pattern by AnaPaoli

I made these two new mermaids for two of my kids' friends, who just happen to be sisters ;) I hope they liked them, their mom Julie, who is a dear friend picked them up on her way home tonight. This was a very very late birthday present, I have learned my lesson, I will start all birthday presents well in advance.
This pattern is by the very sweet and talented AnaPaulaoli on Etsy





When my little girl saw the dolls and me taking photos, she ran to get her own dollies, and we had a nice photo session with Mermaids and her doll Pink, and her favorite doll of all times, ' Dollie', she is the reason why I started making my own dolls. I am happy that she also likes the ones that I have made for her so far ( the pink little girl and the purple mermaid, pattern also by Anapaulaoli.









I haven't posted a good photo of this either, it's a lady bug purse that I made for Dani earlier in the summer. I got this purse pattern from CrochetVillage on Etsy, she is also a very sweet lady, I plan to get more patterns from her in the future.



Finally a few shots of one of the biggest love of my life, my dear 17 year old PooToo, the orange kitty all curled up. She's been diagnosed with Cancer and is not expected to last much longer. I am trying to say my goodbyes and having a hard time with it. She truly is my oldest friend.



It's funny that it would be on her last year of her life that she would find a cat that she finally tolerates. She's never liked any cats.. well except for her own babies ( she had 3 ) and her sister Gordita ( my mom's 17 year old cat ). But here is proof of her eating with Gary our 3 year old deaf kitty. Maybe he is just a very special kitty, he has to be to win her over like that. This has never been seen PooToo sharinga food dish.. I thought I would never see the day.



Poor Gris watches on, she's always dreamed of sharing a dish with PooToo.. ( she is the gray kitty )




Finally his plan has been revealed! you see before he picked this spot to sit on, there used to be a ceramic cat there, looking just like that, funny enough this same cat broke it last week, and now look at him! he wanted to BE the cat in the mantel!
