Wedding pomander

Kissing ball or pomander I found that these are called. I made two for the flower girls and since the ages were different I made one slightly smaller as she was only three years old. I never made these before so I searched on you tube how. I love you tube the things I learn from there, but I did a course for making fresh and artificial flowers. I think it is better to know how they are made though I was very, very challenged doing the bride bouquet and no one had a video about large one. I tried many Technics and errors before I came with the ONE. The pearl ribbon I love it so much for these kissing balls. I used smaller roses for these.

Crochet flower cocoon

I was inspired but another cocoon flower. I always seem to put my touch into these pieces that I make.I made more and different petals. I also made this for a bigger baby. I love how I made this hat I need to make another one because I like it. I have such a bad habit that I don't write anything down as how I made the petals. I always think I will know how to but no I will forget how I did it. In this process I tried to use a lot of yarn that I had which is good. I already bought more yarn to make more of these cocoons for my etsy shop. I think you agree it did came nice and big for a 8 lb baby. This is also good for photo shoot.

Kids' beanies

I made these small beanies and vintage hats from patterns. They are small because I could have used the wrong ply yarn and hook. Most likely, I did but they are cuter anyway, pity I don't have any little girls in my family yet. I also bought that pink yarn which I regretted buying a day after. I thought to myself it is ugly I don't know why I bought it in the first place but I do like the result now. I like the pink vintage hats. So that could happen to you too, one day, where you hate your purchase of yarn but what you do with it it will be a great. The hats are from patterns but I did alterations to some because I saw them small and also extended the rows.I always learn something new. Here on these beanie I did those three rows it is fun to do that. I used the same technic for the other two hats. How that ribbon came about I searched  for crochet ribbons and it turned up. I also had to make the crab stitch on the ribbon which is new too for me. 

How nice is the hat below I didn't know it looks that good. Seeing it on the model I love it. It is from a free pattern, I could have made extra rows if I saw it small and extended the increases of stitches. I will make another one with different colour of flower.

little chihuahua

I made this little chihuahua from a free pattern that I found in free amigurumi. I like to make small things but they are very challenging to make. It is very fiddly and I think it takes longer too to finish them but they are cuter. It is not hard to do for you out there who wants to give it a go. I made about six of them already. I keep giving them away so I will make one for me to keep. I usually don't like to make the same toy over and over but i do want one of each toy I make. I have never counted them but I think I have made over a hundred so far. To think I just started with a ball, then a ball with eyes. Followed by a snake and then a giraffe with a small blanket. Then I could read patterns and here I am a year it has been. I used to make one a day. I usually work on them after dinner, while the tv is on. It is a great hobby and very rewarding. Anyway about this chihuahua I wasn't very happy so I left it in a bag because in my eyes it wasn't perfect. I thought I will put it together anyhow and I added a flower which made all the difference. This is definitely not suited for little kids. ok here it is
