Mrs Santa

Since it is close to Christmas, my youngest daughter wanted me to make her Mr and Mrs Santa. I searched and searched and couldn't find what I like. On revelry.com I found a nice Mr and Mrs Santa but the lady didn't make them available. A week or two after I searched, someone posted on facebook that Sue Pendleton had them available so that is where I got the pattern from. The pattern is different to what I am used to and when I had a read through I kind of gave up. At the end I thought I would give it a go and here it is Mrs Santa. I started Mr Santa when it's done I will show you. I had a ball of chenille that one of my daughters gave me last Christmas and I found use of it now. I did all the edging of the apron the skirt and on her boots. The ears came very good and very easy to make.  Sue Pendleton did such a good job of them, I love how she did the hair, the mouth, and most of it. It never comes exactly like the picture I will never know why. I think she might look better with eye lashes. I added grey to the hair I thought it will look good. The apron is easy to make and the dress.

 

Crochet Wayuu bag

I made this beautiful bag because the other one I made came a bit small. This is a very good size for a bag. It is called a wayuu bag and you can find a video tutorial for this bag. As always I change it to make it my own. I am going to give it to my youngest for Christmas. She hasn't seen it yet. The other one I made it into a bag pack this one you wear it over the shoulders or crossed at the front or back. My daughter would love these colours. You would think it is hard all these colour changes but it is not that hard. I used acrylic yarn.

More headbands

I tried to make these headbands to take part in a market stall so I will have different kinds of stuff to sell. I did terrible but I don't think it was because my work was bad, it is because not many people turned up. I think this market is not very well known. To go where there are lots of people I need to have to pay public liability certificate. I don't think I have many things to sell yet at a big market. The other problem is that the toys with safety eyes are not good to sell either which I have many of those already. I think I have to come up with different things made of crochet since I like to crochet. These headbands I just saw a picture and I tried my own so no patterns sorry. Here are the pictures.

Beret

How these beret came about is I saw a handsome man wearing a lovely light brown beret. He looked great, so I thought I will make one for my grandson. I made one and came small so I kept making to see what size will fit him. It turned out he doesn't like wearing them. Since I have too many now I will sell them at a market. The pattern I used is from you tube, she has two videos, so if you type flat beret it turns up. It is easy to make she has a good tutorials. you don't need much wool either. Here are the pictures of my berets.

Little Batman

Since my son in law introduce batman to my grandson, I had to make him one. I found this free pattern from Pinterest .com. It is fairly easy for those who are used to read patterns. The hardest I found embroider the bat. I had to find a logo of batman and hand free draw it. I had to do it a few times as mine was a bit big. I used yellow, skin colour, grey and dark blue because it is for a child. Dark colours is hard to work with in my opinion. It measures 23 centimeters good size for a child to hold. Actually a child should be supervised because of the eye buttons. I could have embroidered the eyes but I liked the way it was made with similar buttons. Anyway for you out there who would like to give this little batman a go good luck. I made him a cape easy to make.
