Crocheted Christmas Gifts: Little Cars

 These are the crocheted items I made for Christmas this year

I made a series of cars; the smaller ones were keychains, and the larger ones were not.

Here's my cousin Johnny with his; I made it to look like his racecar.

My 91 year old Uncle Buck loved his.

I had to look at a pic to try to make Johnny's car, lol.

My best friend's Grandson loved his car.

Even my Dad loved his car keyring.

I wasn't able to get a pic of my cousin Andie with his car, unfortunately.

Crocheted Gnome: made for Dad's Birthday

 Cute Gnome Crochet

Cute Gnome, #Mufficorn

I Love This!

I found this pattern on Etsy, by Mufficorn, a super talented, creative lady who has loads of amazing patterns.  I made this one for my Dad.  They are supposed to be small enough to sit in the palm of your hand but I didn't have any thin yarn so used worsed and he's huge, lol.

#Mufficorn on Etsy

Here he is, sitting on my bed, and about the size of a pillow, lol

I made him for my Dad's birthday, and I think he'll get a kick out of him.  My Dad loves gardening and just finished preparing his garden for next spring.  This is just part of of his gift. 

He even looks cool in black and white, lol.  You can find the pattern here .

Crochet Christmas 2021/ADORABLE Completion & Pattern Review

Christmas Ornaments 2021

This is a TERRIFIC pattern by Amy Gaines. So much fun to do.  I did the entire set, and also did a set of 4 penguins only. I forgot to take photos of the extra penguins and I gave them all away as gifts.

Crocheted Christmas Ornaments, Set of 3

Crocheted Christmas Ornaments 2021

I had so much fun making these cute little Christmas Ornaments.

I started with the penguin, using light grey and white, with a tiny bit of yellow for the beak. The eyes are embroidered on; French knots.

Next came little Santa, to look over Mr. Penguin

And finally, a Reindeer.

The pattern works very well, and I still have 2 more characters to make, a bear and a Yeti.  I'm still very slow at crocheting since I broke my finger and it healed up all crooked.  In the past I would have been able to make the whole set in a few hours.   Now it takes me maybe 4 or 5 times longer than it used to; it took me all day to make these three, and I just finished and it's almost 2 AM. 

If you want to try the pattern, it's by Amy Gaines, and can be found on Etsy. Amiguri Christmas Crochet 2021

Front Line Hero Bear, Crochet

Yesterday was Mother's Day, May 10, 2020.  

I have been in lockdown with my elderly parents, as I live with them.  We all have health issues so I couldn't go shopping for my Mom, so I crocheted her this cute little Frontline Hero Bear. 

Frontline Hero Bear, crochet

 I found the pattern for free on Ravelry.  You can find it here.

Mr. Bear is tired from working hard and needs a rest.

He takes off his scrub cap,

...and his surgical mask, and  his stethoscope, and takes a quick break. 

 It is over much too soon, and Mr. Bear starts to get dressed again.  

He puts on a fresh mask, his stethoscope, and last but not least, his scrub cap. 

Soon, he is ready for work again; saving lives from the dreaded Covid 19.

Mr. Bear says, "Stay safe, practice social distancing, and wash your hands". 

He is also ready for his most important job of making my Mom smile for Mothers Day during a pandemic. 

Crocheting for Shelter Dogs and Cats

Christmas Crochet Gifts for Shelter Pets

Christmas crochet for shelter pets

I was busy for the whole month of December and part of November

Crocheting these adorable gifts for the shelter dogs and cats at our local humane society.

The mice were for the cats, and the larger food themed toys (except for the duck, lol) were for the dogs.

My hamster, Dasha, checking out the mice.

My Siberian dwarf hamster, Dasha, gave her mousie seal of approval to the mice, lol.  Actually, she just wanted to fight them.

Crocheted pie, gingerbread man, and cheeseburger

I found most of the patterns for free on Ravelry.com, but all of the hamburger patterns came in a zillion pieces that had to be sewn together, so I just made up the cheeseburger pattern on my own.  I'll share the pattern in another blog post :-).  

Crocheted ice cream cone, donut, and hotdot

 I had a lot of fun making these toys.  I made the hotdog toy for my dog, Mac, years ago, and it brought back bitter sweet memories.  I miss my dogs.  They all had good long lives though, and I have happy memories.

Crocheted dog bone, turkey drumstick, and mallard

       The dog bone cracked me up because I was crocheting mindlessly while watching Netflix, not really paying attention to what I was doing until the pattern told me I had to stuff the bone before I could make the top portion.  This is what I ended up with...

This is the point in the pattern where we're told to stuff the dog bone.  I just about died at what appeared after I stuffed it, lolol.

I just about died laughing.  I shared this pic (above) on Facebook and all of my friends got a good laugh at it too, lol.

Here's a link to my Ravelry project page.  You can find links to all of the patterns I used there.  They were all free :-).
