Another Little Monster

I finished another little crochet monster! My plan to finish the tasks I start is moving along nicely!!! This little guy didn't take me as long as the other two. I think it is partly because I am getting the hang of crocheting (finally). 

Of course, I needed to make my cameo appearance to give you an idea of his actual size :D

I only have one more crochet monster left to make. I think I'll probably try either a red or a black. Part of me wants to make a monster hat that I can wear in the winter time!

Crochet Monsters

I'm making crochet monsters for my cousins/nephew. I finally finished the second one today. I have two more to go.

The yellow one is the first one I ever made... I don't really know what I am doing as far as fabric art is concerned... I am just playing it by ear and learning as I go along (a.k.a. I'm not following a pattern, I'm making up my own). I'm hoping to get better as I make these little guys (you can see the size below - please note my awesome T-rex hoody. Best Christmas present ever).

The next step is to finish the other two monsters. Hopefully I can finish at least one next weekend. I'll keep you updated on how things are going. 

Let me know what you think about these little monsters. I'm a big fan, but I still need to work out the body proportions and whatnot. I'm sure the next one will be even cooler!

Baby boy card

I'm making a gift for my boss' going away party. She is having a baby boy!

I'm sad this card didn't scan vey well, it actually looks much softer in real life. I used markers, pen and pastels.

I really like the "stork bringing a baby boy" concept... and I've never created a card like this. I'm feeling pretty good about it.

Enjoy!

Alpaca card

I made this card for Caitlin, a co-worker of mine. She is a very talented fibre artist, and she loves alpacas. She always goes above and beyond to help get things done well, and on time. I figured it was about time to make her a card!

Enjoy!

Valentines Mailbox

There is a competition at work to make a cool Valentines Mailbox. I bought a box at the dollar store and painted it this morning. I don't know if this is valentines enough to win... but at least I had fun!

This is the final product:

Here is my process:

 

crochet attempt

So I tried to crochet a pig from the crochet geek.... this is what I made....

This was a gift for the Bestest of the Best, my friend Danielle. It is green because it was suppose to be a zombie pig.... I wasn't sure how to show that other than by making it green....

More crochet to come!
