3 Blind Mice

I found these online and thought they were so cute!
I put them all together for the picture and and called them 3 Blind Mice ;)
The gray one I made for Wennie but while playing with it, she pulled off the bell from its tail. I found it of course and took it away (this is why Gray Mouse has a tail & no bell). And because I always make something for my kids whenever I make anything at all, I made the Green Mouse for Little "D" & the Orange Mouse for Big "D" (their tails & bells are still safely intact).
Very simple pattern, I got from the Lion Brand Web Site, I sewed the noses with pink yarn & the eyes with black yarn. I tied the tails on and attached a bell to the end of each one. They make adorable little stuffed animals for children or toys for cats & dogs!
For added safety, just leave off the bell.
For cats, simply stuff with catnip!

Amigurumi Giraffe

This is a little something I worked on last week. It's an amigurumi giraffe and pretty adorable! He's yellow with brown spots, brown horns & ears and brown hooves. I added a small muzzle of my own (not on the original pattern) and sewed his little mouth and nose to that. I also sewed his eyes with brown yarn, instead of using safety eyes as the pattern suggests, but only because I'm running low on eyes, lol.
I got the pattern from the Lion Brand web site.

Hamster Blankie

You all know how crazy we are for animals & blankies here ;) So of course we made a blankie for Big "D"s little hamster Spunky! I finally got him to stay still for the 3 seconds in a row it took to capture this pic of Spunky enjoying his new blankie.
Very small, crocheted in bright Pink with a Single Crochet stitch, using an H crochet hook.

Crochet Kitten Hook Holder

I found this adorable little creature where I get so many of my patterns, at Free Amigurumi Patterns ... and it will link you back to the original pattern at CrochetKitten.com which is a fabulous web site as well.
It was really fun to do and fast! It took me 2 days to complete - 1 day to crochet all the pieces & 1 day to sew it all together. The nose is sewn with pink yard on the muzzle and the eyes are Safety Eyes over small pieces of brown felt. And I really love that Kitty has her own little project in the works! :)

Howcast taught me the whale too. I think Howcast is the best origami teacher ever!!!!!!!!! The whale was easy and fun at the same time.

Little "D"s Origami Swordfish

Here is another Blog by Little "D"  :)

Howcast also taught me how to do the swordfish. The shape is a whale shape but it also showed me how to do the swordfish. It was fun to do an origami swordfish though.
