I Found A Great Crochet Pattern Shop On Etsy

As a crocheter, i find myself always looking for something new to work on. I rarely make toys, but when i came across Erin's Toy Store on Etsy, I couldn't wait to get started on one of her patterns. Erin has so many cute toy patterns to choose from. I figured i could get a jump start on birthday & Christmas gifts for next year. I started out with the Stewie and Bryan Griffin Crochet Patterns. I finished Bryan in two days The pattern was easy to follow and i am very pleased with the results. I got these for only fifty cents (one of her specials) There's many other characters to choose from with very affordable prices. I give Erin's Toy Store an A plus!

One thing i would recommend is to follow the pattern for the pupil the way it's written. I tried it my own way, and it came out a bit bigger. Still cute, but i should have followed the exact directions.
So anyway, here's how my Bryan turned out:

New Item

I started making towel holders. So far i have two white and one red available. I crocheted them using cotton yarn and added a button. They would work great used in the kitchen,bathroom, or even in your closet to keep scarfs and ties organized.

Sometimes you get some strange requests

I just finished up a custom order for a customer. One of the strangest, but funniest things i've crocheted. Sometimes you don't know what will inspire your next crochet project.

I admit, i have a slightly warped sense of humor, but what the heck...

So here it is....

Here's something different.. I started making rose hair clips.Here's the first pair I've made.
I am trying to work on smaller projects for now since i've been going back and forth to the hospital w/hubby since Nov. Still have to try to pay some bills. I can't even get in the mood for the holidays. I will post when i can.
Thanks for looking
