Where is the green sheep?

My friend is having a baby! 

And I decided I wanted to give her/baby a copy of Where is the Green Sheep by Mem Fox - a gorgeous storybook kids love - and since she's a kids librarian, she knows its adorableness. 

So I made this to go with the book. (I haven't bought the book yet, otherwise if put it next to my sheep in a photo!)

He's pretty adorable! Worked out so much better than I had hoped! :) 

I made up an interesting oval thing for his nose, it took me a few goes to get it right - and I doubt I could replicate it even if I tried haha. 

He doesn't stand up, but that's cool - he's soft and squishy and likes to dance to the songs from Tangled. 

I'll take another photo tomorrow, cos the wooly part of Green Sheepy looks washed out in these photos!

You should read this picture book- it's pretty adorable. It's always a hit at story time for all ages. :)

Overload of Bears!

I made a new bear! I gave him bigger eyes and a smaller nose.. I like the change.




Proof he does have a nose, and gorgeous eyes.



And yesterday, just before I finished the white bear, I got bored and took some better photos of my other bears in nice strong daylight lighting conditions.





And sexy!bear:



Next, I'm making some more crochet angry birds. I feel like finally completing the set.

Another Shark Hat

So, I'm finally back after the busy summer period. I was working 6 or 7 days a week, and then I also had to read all of the Wheel of Time books from beginning to end because that is what you have to do when the final book comes out. So between the jobs and reading the 14 Wheel of time books in two months, I didn't craft much. But now I have a hat. I made my boss a shark hat, because he loved the one I made for me.

I'd love to say I could give people that pattern, but I can't because I totally made him up as I went along.
