Charity Crochet Project

This weekend I was busy crocheting 7 cup cozies to help out a friend. She's a volunteer at the Greater Vancouver Zoo and had made a stack of cozies to be sold to raise money for animal care. Except, she came to work the other day to found out several of the ones she made had been stolen.

She was so upset, I offered to help her out and make some too, to replace the stolen ones. Here's my collection:

The giraffe, elephant and monkey come from Repeat Crafter Me's Animal Alphabet . The fox, I can't remember where I found the pattern and I made up the tiger and the lion by copying a photo on pintrest. The lemur was completely made up by me.

I sure hope they don't get stolen again.

Sunny Bunny Amigurumi

I can't sell this one because the pattern's author doesn't allow it, but I still had to make this adorable bunny. And I gave her a wading pool to lay in. She's ready for the next heat wave. Yes we needed rain to slow down our forest fires burning, but come on sun, come back to us - we're ready

If you'd like to make one for yourself, here's the link

Camo Dog Stuffy

Here's a cute little (5" long x 4.5" tall) camouflage service dog ready to be hung on your backpack or sit on your mantle - or maybe hold an engagement ring? To remember someone serving or who has served? Or just a safe hunting dog? Has a brown and green ribbon collar, sewn in eyes and a felt nose.

In my shop, ready for shipping:

Newborn Fish Tail

I was recently contacted to make a newbown sized fish tail, but this one was to look like a rainbow trout *

This is the tail I made, but I only put the strip on one side so if you wanted to use if for photography purposes, you would just turn it around and use the plain side. To make it more fishy, I ran a shimmery iridescent rainbow filament along the wool during the crocheting so it glimmers and shines

Can you see the shimmer on your monitor? 

The back side, which is really just as pretty:

The baby was just born last week, and the new momma promised she'd send me a photo of her baby in the tail as soon as she could. I will share it when I get it.

Crochet Llama

I recently finished this crocheted llama for a friend's birthday.

This one didn't even make it into the shop. I am really proud how it turned out
