make some crochet table decorations for christmas
These are quick and easy to make. Once I made the first one, I couldn't wait to do another one. I will probably have two, to a table, so I will make six of the holly ones and the kooky looking one is for the kids table. You can find the easy to follow pattern here.
I made a crocheted baby
I almost forgot to share this one with you. He/she is too cute not to share. My dear late mother-in-law, made this blanket but did not finish the very last row, so I completed it with a lovely shell edging and made the baby in the remaining yarn to match it. I also found some of her knitted baby clothes that only needed the buttons sewn on, so I finished them off too. Her grandson is having his first child and I purposely finished the items off for his new baby, which will be born in Feb, 2008. He was very close to his Grandmother and I am positive he will be very touched to have some thing from her, for his very first child.
mushroom house crochetedI got the cupcake tutorial for this from here. I thought the roof looked more like the top of a mushroom, so I made it into a mushroom house. The lid comes off for storage inside.
