Crochet Cactus #2

I just completed another cactus and I think this one came out more realistic and cuter than the first one =) This one includes a blue flower with light blue details and yellow filaments. The person who requested the pot provided the terracotta pot which she had painted gold.

Crochet Cactus

         I made this cute little cactus last night. It didn't go exactly as I planned, but i think it came out ok overall. I just made a basic bulb shape and then pushed in 4 places and sewed it into shape. I made a pom pom from pink and yellow using a pompom maker and then just tied that to the top. I sewed the cactus to the brown felt and then stuffed the felt and placed it in the pot. I then added stitches to each of the four outer edges, which I think adds a prickly look to it.

Crochet Challenge!! Day 18: WIPS #2

This is the second day of the challenge with the theme "Work in Progress". The project that I am currently working on is a baby blanket for my future nephew, who is due in a couple months. I started this blanket before we knew the gender so I chose a very gender neutral color and idea. It is a bee hive blanket. And will have tiny little bees flying all around it when I'm done.

You have to make each of the hexagons separately and then sew them all together so it's been taking me a pretty long time, but it is a very easy project to carry around which is nice.

Crochet Challenge!! Day 10: Yellow

Yellow is my favorite color, but I've only made two projects that I can think of that are yellow. The first is a duck that I made for my dad, because he loves rubber ducks and collects them. The picture below is a link to a full post just about that.

The second project that I could think of was a super hero doll I made called " the yarn bomber" a crocheting super hero. Yellow is fun to crochet with, but not many things lend themselves to being yellow. Both of the pictures below will link you to a full post about the yarn bomber.
