Crochet Chocolate Kiss

My Husband's office is decorated with little ami's especially for the various holidays. I was trying to come up with something cute for Valentine's Day. The Candy Corn with sneakers was a big hit. I didn't have the time to make him a Kiss last year when I completed the My Silly Valentine's patterns from Crochet Village for my Valentine's box. This year I squeezed in a kiss project between the doll's clothes.

As you can see from the one I made last year posted here, I didn't go with the traditional colors last year either. I like the way Hershey's has holiday colors for their candy and I made a red Kiss last year. This time I had a request for specific colors so I went with the blue and yellow. The red ties on the sneaker bringing it back to Valentine's Day. This is a fun quick Valentine's project if you are looking to purchase a set of patterns to work on this year.

I am alternating between doll projects and Easter projects, as that box needs to go out at the beginning of March. It will take a while to get those projects done. However, thanks to my husband and some great friends on Crochetville I have some adorable patterns to work on for my Easter box.

Valentine Dishcloth

I needed a break from the Cat Afghan so I pulled out my Valentines patterns and made the Sweetheart Crochet Dishcloth to brighten up my kitchen now that all the Christmas decorations are coming down. This is one of the 365 free dishcloth patterns posted on Maggie Weldon's Best Free Crochet site. It is well worth visiting if you have not checked out her dishcloth challenge.

This is another victory for my stash busting. I had all the cotton on hand and used up some of the large Bernat Handicrafter Red I had left over from Christmas projects and some Lily's Sugar 'n Cream White for the details.

This is a pretty and quick project if you need something for a Valentine's present.

Valentine Mouse Finger Puppet

This mouse finger puppet was adapted from Finger Puppets 12 Designs to Crochet by Susan Pippen. Leisure Arts published the vintage Leaflet, number 435, in 1986.

I love these ami style finger puppets and have blogged about them before. I decided to make a Valentine's themed one when I found a shortage of Valentine's themed toy patterns. When I have shopped for Valentine’s toys in the store, I have found most are traditional toys created in holiday colors. Since I did not have a Valentine's finger puppet pattern, I decided to create one using the same theory. I took a regular finger puppet pattern and simply changed the color. I am thinking about doing the same for St. Patrick's Day.

The box is now full, taped, and addressed and ready to head off to its new home filled with Valentine goodies. I have one American Girl Dress almost done for my local package. I need to work on the Barbie Valentine Ball Gown, which I believe is going to be in pink this time.
