If life gives you snow, build a snow man!

Sorry I've been absent in the blog world lately, our computer wouldn't let me sign in. I finally asked Dad about it and he realized the time date was wrong, so I guess because I didn't even have a blog in 2002, I couldn't log in to a nonexistent blog.

Well, anyhow I haven't done too much lately but here is an recap.

My brother Luke and Matthew, built a snow man. His name is Hieme. Cleo was his protector.

Next I finished my felted Oro hat, and love it! I think I'm going to wear it skiing next week. Finally, I made the best cookies I think I've ever had in my life! They are banana cookies. They taste like angel clouds fallen into a tropical rain forest were a baby monkey would pick them up and be content for life.

Elvira

I haven't posted something crocheted in a while, so here is a doll I finally finished. Her name is Elvira. She doesn't have a story, but if she did I'm sure it would be sad, or possibly adventurous.

update!

Well, sorry I haven't posted for a while. but I have been up to some fun things. First I crocheted and knitted a "interesting" neck, scarf thingy that I found on etsy. Second I almost finished my bonnet, the only thing left to do is put the ribbon under the hat. So without further adieu here are the pictures.

Fingerless gloves

I had some left over wool ease yarn (my favorite) so I made a pair of fingerless gloves for the fall. They are kinda weird but I like them. This time of year I look forward to the fall and all its lovely colors, but by the end of November I'm dying for summer. I have discontentment issues with the weather, whatever its not I want it to be (most the time) like,

Winter- summer,

Fall- summer,

Spring- Summer, (do you notice a pattern?)

Summer- fall,

sunny- Happy! (unless we can't go swimming that day)

snow- sunny

muddy- sunny

rainy- sunny

Windy- lov'in it! (I love the wind, unless it's dusty)

slushy- sunny

hailing- sunny

Yokan Wagashi

This is my newest amigarumi creation. She is a baby seal. Her name is Yokan Wagashi, after the colorful, sweet Japanese candy. Because of her monochromatic colors I thought she needed a colorful name.

Wagashi!

This is Namagashi Wagashi. She is a rice bunny! I made her last night and thought such a sweet little bunny deserved a very sweet big name. Namagashi is a type of Japanese rice cake and Wagashi is candy. She is only about an inch tall.

Piggy!

For Anna's birthday I crocheted her a tiny little pig. Anna collects miniature pigs. I took some pictures of him before he was a gift, and I thought he turned out so cute I would share it with you!

Green life with an orange thumb

A while ago I crocheted a tree frog. I look a picture of him and thought it looked cute, so you get to look at it too! He protects my ceiling high house plant from all manner of evil bugs.

Gloves

I'm normally leery to try glove patterns because they always seem to take size 30 thread, to thick of yarn, look way to elegant, look old ladyish, or take forever to make. So when I found this pattern I talked myself into trying it and really was happily surprised. They only took me two evenings to make and I like the fit, and weight of yarn.

Wilbert

Beware all creatures of the hook and yarn, there is a new terror on the loose. His name is Wilbert the friendly, yet not always friendly, viking.

What will he risk next? What lengths will he go to?What circumstances will he end up in?But with a fine beard like that what could go wrong?

Roy from Troy!

This is Roy, he is from Troy. I made him for my brother Luke since he likes that sort of stuff. I told Luke he was trying to protect the last Melon of Troy, but Luke thought that sounded like he was a dodo bird. So, he will just have to save Garbina.

Sir Dancelot

This is my knight in shining blue armor. His name is Sir Dancelot because, well, he loves to dance a lot. He may be small but he knows how to Paso Doble through battle, Tango with the enemy, and waltz away with the fair maiden.He loves braving the outdoors!He fights evil in gloomy dungeons.

I think Garbina is smitten with this cute little dancer!

Dancer

I made a flamenco dancer yesterday. Her name is Garbina.
