Meet Shirley and Jasper

Here is Shirley, my newest crocheted teddy. Isn't she just adorable in her little pink bow! 

Shirley is crochet using two different colors of acrylic yarn. I'm not sure the brands or exact colorways, 

only that the colors are a light turqouise/robin egg blue mixed with a white. 

Shirley is a little on the shy side. I had to really talk just to get these two pictures of her.! 

Here is Jasper! As you can see, he wasn't a bit camera shy at all! In fact, I didn't think I was going to get

him to let me stop! *gigling*  He is such a character! 

Jasper is made using some upholstery scraps I happened across  in my material tote. I have been working on Jasper for awhile now. He is my first 'fuzzy/furry' bear. I can just imagine what the little grand daughters are 

going to say when they see him. I gave him to hubby for our 29th anniversary. Hubby is such a teddy bear to me. Always there when I need him,,a wonderful help around the house, good cook too! Most of all,,,usually always has a hug when I need one. Nothing better than a 'teddy hug'!!!

Looks like Jasper finally ready to go now. I better go see where his next place of mischief is!

Blessings to all!!!

Shirley, Jasper and Connie :)

WoW I Have Been Invaded LOL!

WoW can you believe it,,,I'm posting two days in a row! Watch the weather LOL! Might have to duck for cover!!!

On another note,,,Here are some nylon scrubbies I also made while sitting in bed with my cough and sore throat. At least when it comes to crocheting there isn't a whole of movements happening. My body just wasn't liking it too kindly even when I would just turn my head. :(

I decided to try a little mix in colors, for some variation instead of the same ole solid colors. Whatcha all think? Be HONEST now with me!!!!

Anyway,,,then after my first two little bears left for their new homes,,,it got a little lonely around here,,,and Peaches, our little dog,,,,just thought it wasn't right them bears leaving and all,,,soooo I made 3 new little ones. These are a little smaller due to using a smaller hook and yarn. Not sure what kind of yarn I think Pinky could be a chenille type yarn, not really sure. Then Silver,,,his thread is a really fine 'fuzzy' thread of some sort as well. Therefore making him come in about half an inch shorter than his two mates. His two mates are just under 2 1/2 inches tall, while he is just under 2 inches tall. Pastelarella,,,,now she is make from baby yarn with the white sparkly like strand that runs through it. As you can see these little ones were really full of mischief climbing around my citrus tree in the house!

Then they had to follow me outside, and found this flower patch to play and hide in!

Then after all the romping through the yard and teasing poor Peaches,,,the settled down to rest on the large flat stone in the yard, where I was able to easily snatch them up and bring them back indoors, where they were put down for naps LOL:)

Hugs N Blessings All!

Tatted Doily Updates and Fuzzy Critters!!!

Here are a couple of up dates on my tatted doilies. Both have new rounds added to each of them. The first being the size 30 thread, and the second being the size 10 thread. They are still growing, slowly but steadily!

Then here is a size comparison pic of the two. The red one has another round added to it as you can see. I have been little under the weather lately, so the next round for the blue one hasn't been caught up yet.

Then as I went to take a little stroll around the yard to see what was growing in the jungle of grass, flowers and weeds from all the rain we have been getting, Imagine my surprise to find these little crochet bears playing hide and seek!!! First I found them in the strawberry patch. But alas, no strawberries for them! Or me either :(

Then I found them hiding in grass, I know they were just waiting patiently for me to come along so they trip our little dog LOL!

Both of these cuties now have a new home. Both of the grand daughters just fell in love with them, picking out which they liked best (no fights either!!!) And they wasted no time gathering them up to take them to their home either :)

Blessings to all, please take care and stay healthy!!!

And more tatting along with a little crochet

Here is the beginning of the next round. Adding some maroon color to it. This is round 4. What do you think?
Here is some really adorable panda coasters I made for the grand daughters. The youngest has seen them already, but the oldest hasn't yet. And I am happy to report the youngest was just full of OOOOOOOOOOOOs. And Hugs! :)
