Mom/Dad and Baby Stuffies

Hello everyone!

I hope you're having beautiful spring weather where you are.
Our weather has been up and down. 
One day it's in the 70s the next it's in the 40s,

but I'm confident that spring/summer will come and stay soon.

Today I have some stuffies I made for the grands for Easter.
I, again, used my book

Crochet Cute Critters

I made 2 of each animal this time.

A Mom/Dad and a baby.

I made these elephants for Asher.

To make the different sizes, I simply used

different sized hooks.

Here is the Mom/Dad

And here is baby elephant.

Asher loved them.

These are the turtles I made for Marie.

Their heads seemed to have come out

a little tipped.  I decided they are both just

being inquisitive and that's why their heads

are tipped. lol

Here is Mom/Dad carrying little baby on it's back.

Here they are having a little kiss for each other.

Mom/Dad alone.

Baby just being cute.

Marie loved her turtles.

I was pleased with them and love that I made a pair

for each of the kids.

I'm glad you stopped by today to see what

I've been up to and I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

double your fun!

 

Meet Iggy (aka Chichi) and Sally

Hi everyone!

Today I have a couple gifts I made for my grandchildren.

Let me introduce you to Iggy and Sally.

This is Iggy the Iguana.  I'm told that he was promptly

renamed Chichi by Asher, but I don't know if that name stuck.

I usually make these amigurumi critters with worsted 

weight yarn, but decided to use 

Bernat blanket yarn that I had in my stash.

This yarn is very soft, but since it is a thicker yarn,

the animals come out considerably larger.

I'm guessing Iggy is about 18" long.

This is Sally the shark.
I made her for Marie and I think she may have 

kept her name.

Sally is also about 18" long.

Here is a picture of Marie with Sally.

I used patterns from 
Crochet Cute Critters: 26 Easy Amigurumi Patterns

This book was a gift from Jaryd and Sara, so I could

make stuffies for the kids and I love making them.

I think I've made about half the animals so far.

Thanks for stopping by today.
I hope you have enjoyed your time here and got inspired

in some way.
Come again soon,

you never know what you'll see on

Kristie Kreates.

Gifts for the Twinkies

Hello!  I hope you are having a lovely day!

Today I have a couple gifts I crocheted to show you.

We have a cousin that has twin girls, they call them

the Twinkies.  Dave was going to visit them

and asked if I could make something for him to 

take to them as a gift.
Jaryd and Sara had given me this book a few years ago

as a gift and I have been making animals for the

grandkids ever since.

I decided to make a couple animals for the Twinkies.

I made this robin bird for one,

and this jelly fish for the other.

I don't know which twin got which,

but Dave said they loved them.

I'm thinking they will probably share them

with each other.

I really enjoy making these

arigurumi animals

and am working on a couple more

for Marie and Asher for Easter.
I'll be posting about the ones I made them

for Valentine's Day soon.

Thanks for spending some time here today,

I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Do you crochet?

If you do, have you made any animals?

If you haven't, give it a try and if you don't crochet,

there is no time like the present to learn.

Hope to see you again soon.

 

Quinn the Queen Bee

Hello All!

Do you crochet?

I love crocheting and received this book as a gift.

I've made 2 other animals from this book and 

this is number 3.

This is Quinn the Queen Bee.

I gave it to Marie when it was time for her nap,

and she hugged it right away.

When she was ready to go home, she had to

take it with her.

We've been surprised at how big these

animals are, this bee is at least 12" tall.

I'm thinking I might try a lighter yarn and

a smaller hook to see how they turn out.

I'll post when I do that, but

for now I'm not going to crochet for a bit

this old lady is having a problem with

the arthritis from so much crocheting.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I appreciate your time and hope

you are inspired in some way.

Come again soon,

until then,

enjoy creating something.
