Dinosaur Apron

Here is the little dinosaur apron I made for my nephew. It's my own pattern, sized for children inspired by one of my favorite adult aprons.

Holiday Stockings

This year we decided to update our stockings. Little Bit and I picked out the fabrics and I finally got them all finished. They turned out really nice and are such an upgrade from what we had.

Tree Ornaments

This year we chose a beachy message in a bottle theme for our homemade ornaments. We purchased clear empty ornaments and filled with beach sand, plain and some we dyed. Then we added a "message" and shells to our "bottle". The messages are made with tea soaked/stained paper to give it that aged look. We then wrapped twine around the caps to give it a nautical theme. They turned out great and we like them a lot. They reflect our love for our beach life.

Monkey for the Little Man

A little knitted monkey for my little man also from the Itty Bitty Toys book. I am not as happy with it as the koala. I had a hard time finding the right colored sock yarn for it. The book showed a much lighter colored striped sock yarn. I will give it to him and hope he likes it. A definite do over when I stumble upon the right colored yarn.

Little Bit's Fish

Little Bit received a crochet kit for Christmas and went to town right away on her first project. She made the fish with a couple modifications. Such a thoughtful gift and perfect for her.

Koala Bear

Inside my new book "Itty Bitty Knits" by Susan Anderson is the pattern for this little guy. Little Woman spotted it and loved it, so I made her one for Christmas. This book is proving to be lots of fun. The koala has Velcro on its hands so it can hang on a backpack or bedpost. He turned out really cute. I'm happy with it.

Spa Basket

I crocheted this little basket to hold a spa gift. Lots of yummy bath salts, lotion, soap, and other treats went inside. I like it so much I plan on making more. I used a worsted weight yarn double stranded to make it thicker and stiffer.

Holiday Wine Cozy

A lovely little holiday wine cozy I made this week while having the flu. It turned out gorgeous. I love it.

Holiday Elf

This little elf comes from a Susan B. Anderson pattern. The kids love her and she is making a great addition to the holidays in our home.

Mittens

My first attempt at mittens is a success. They turned out great, fit my girlie, and are the same size. All that is left is the thumbs, more to come....
