Busy Crocheting :)

Good Afternoon!

Last nite I crocheted my daughter a cute little shrug to go with her holiday dress for a Christmas program at school. I used Vanna's Glamour in Grey Stone and 4.0MM hook. I love how the shrug turned out but am now unsure of the color choice. I bought the yarn yesterday at my local Michael's without relooking at the dress before leaving home. The grey yarn is a darker shade than the dress and her shoes and tights are both black. I feel I should have went with my first instinct at the store and bought the black instead. So I will have to decide tommrow what exactly she will be wearing. Either way the shrug is definately going to be worn :) 



On another note I finished the Pink, Yellow, and Blue Squishie Granny! I used the yellow felt for the lining as I had noted in my previous post. I also remembered what yarn I used :) Claudia Hand Painted Yarns, I am however still unsure of the colorway.



As you can see, my daughter decided to add in her cute little chickie, I couldn't say no :) I am also, currently working on a possible hello kitty keychain plushie. I am excited to see how it will turn out.

Love. Peace. Happiness.

Squishy Granny Keychains!!!

I'm back!!!! I hope everyone's Thanksgiving holiday was amazing!

I have finally gotten back to my crafting and it feels amazing! Craftings in my blood and if I don't do it I think I begin to have withdrawals, lol!

I had this idea to create Granny Square keychains but with a twist of... SQUISHINESS! I am super happy with how they turned out and can't stop making them. 

I used a sock/ fingering weight yarn and a 3.25MM crochet hook to make the squares. I then cut out squares of felt, whipstitched around, and added in polyester fiber fill. I then crocheted around the outer edge adding in the stuffed felt square and the loop for a keyring.




The bottom two still need to be finished. You can see the yellow felt that I already cut out  for the pink, yellow, and blue square. I think I'm going to use a light pink for the top square.

Hope you enjoy, more to come soon.

Love. Peace. Happiness.
